More to do Introduction For a beginner to the world of raspberry pi, there are a number of projects that can become the start of something big. In this article, I discuss such a simple project which is adding a button that can be used to shutdown the raspberry pi using a bit of software tinkering. I wrote a similar article in 2013 at my blog “embeddedcode.wordpress.com” and its got its share of attention since a lot of people starting out with a single board computer, kept looking for a power button. Additionally, those who wanted a headless system, needed a way to shutdown the computer without the mess of connecting to it over the network or attaching a monitor and keyboard to it. In this article, I revisit the tutorial on how to add a shutdown button while trying to explain the workings and perhaps beginners will find it an amusing to add find more things to do with this little recipe. What do you need? Here is a basic bill of materials required for this exercise.

Shutdown policies with power capping for large scale computing systems Anne Benoit1, Laurent Lef`evre1, Anne-C´ecileOrgerie2, and Issam Ra¨ıs1 1 Univ. Lyon, Inria, CNRS, ENS de Lyon, Univ. Claude-Bernard Lyon 1, LIP 2 CNRS, IRISA, Rennes, France Abstract Large scale distributed systems are expected to consume huge amounts of energy. To solve this issue, shutdown policies constitute an appealing approach able to dynamically adapt the resource set to the actual workload. However, multiple constraints have to be taken into account for such policies to be applied on real infrastructures, in partic- ular the time and energy cost of shutting down and waking up nodes, and power capping to avoid disruption of the system.

  • A High-Level Programming Language for Multimedia Streaming
    Liquidsoap: a High-Level Programming Language for Multimedia Streaming David Baelde1, Romain Beauxis2, and Samuel Mimram3 1 University of Minnesota, USA 2 Department of Mathematics, Tulane University, USA 3 CEA LIST – LMeASI, France Abstract. Generating multimedia streams, such as in a netradio, is a task which is complex and difficult to adapt to every users’ needs. We introduce a novel approach in order to achieve it, based on a dedi- cated high-level functional programming language, called Liquidsoap, for generating, manipulating and broadcasting multimedia streams. Unlike traditional approaches, which are based on configuration files or static graphical interfaces, it also allows the user to build complex and highly customized systems. This language is based on a model for streams and contains operators and constructions, which make it adapted to the gen- eration of streams. The interpreter of the language also ensures many properties concerning the good execution of the stream generation. The widespread adoption of broadband internet in the last decades has changed a lot our way of producing and consuming information. Classical devices from the analog era, such as television or radio broadcasting devices have been rapidly adapted to the digital world in order to benefit from the new technologies available. While analog devices were mostly based on hardware implementations, their digital counterparts often consist in software implementations, which po- tentially offers much more flexibility and modularity in their design. However, there is still much progress to be done to unleash this potential in many ar- eas where software implementations remain pretty much as hard-wired as their digital counterparts.

  • POSIX Freeware
    2115 POSIX Freeware Michael D. Hensley Allegro Consultants, Inc. 2101 Woodside Road Redwood City, CA 94062 (415) 369-2303 voice (415) 369-2304 fax [email protected] http://www.allegro.com Before you can really begin to explore and use the POSIX freeware, it would help to familiarize yourself with POSIX. What Is POSIX? To keep things simple, POSIX is a set of standards based on UNIX. There are three major areas covered by the standards: an end-user shell, a set of utilities, and a collection of programming functions. This paper will get you started with the shell and utilities. When I talk about "POSIX", I'll generally be referring only to the shell and utilities. What Is A POSIX File? The POSIX standards require a "hierarchical file system", like the on UNIX and MSDOS/WINDOWS PC's. HP added a hierarchical file system (usually referred to as the HFS) to MPE with version 4.5. If you have never used UNIX or a PC (or even if you have), you can learn more about the HFS by logging on to your MPE system and typing :XEQ POSIXCBT.LSN.SYS This runs an on-line tutorial about the HFS. POSIX also requires that filenames be case-sensitive (i.e. "FOOBAR" and "FooBar" are two different files). These two things (the HFS and the case-sensitive filenames) create much of the confusion about "POSIX files", but here's the secret: There really isn't any such thing as a "POSIX file" or a "non- POSIX file"! A file is a file is a file.
