  • (OSCAE.Initiative) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
    Open Source Computer Aided Engineering Inititive (OSCAE.Initiative) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Abu Hasan Abdullah Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Universiti Teknologi Malaysia March 1, 2017 Abstract Open Source Computer Aided Engineering Initiative (OSCAE.Initiative) is a public statement of principles relating to open source software for Computer Aided Engineering. It aims to pro- mote the use of open source software in engineering discipline with a goal that within the next five years, open source software will become very common tools for conducting CAE analyses. Towards this end, a small OSCAE.Initiative lab to be used for familiarizing and developmental testing of related software packages has been setup at the Marine Technology Centre, Universiti Teknology Malaysia. This paper describes the infrastructure setup, computing hardware components, multiplat- form operating environments and various categories of software packages offered at this lab which has already been identified as a blueprint for another two labs sharing a kindred spirit. 1 Overview The OSCAE.Initiative lab at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, is located on the second floor of the Marine Technology Centre (MTC). It was established to promote the use of open source software in engineering discipline with a goal that open source software will become the tools of choice for conducting CAE analyses and simulations. Currently, the lab provides • general purpose computing facilities for educational and academic use, and • specialized (CAE) lab environments, software, and support for students, researchers and staff of MTC. Access is by terminals throughout the lab. While users are not required to have their own computers, it is recognized that many do, and facilities are provided to transfer data to and from the OSCAE.Initiative systems so that personal computers and workstations at OSCAE.Initiative lab can complement each other.

  • What Good Is a Linux Client?
    Preparing Today for Linux® Tomorrow What Good is a Linux Client? A Linux White Paper Preface Anyone who has followed the progress of Linux the past few years has noted the surprising gains that Linux has made in server operating system market share and “mindshare” against the entrenched opposition, notably Microsoft® Windows NT®, Novell Netware and various varieties of UNIX®. A complete Linux network, of course, would require Linux clients (networked PCs or terminals) as well. Therefore, an important question is, “Is Linux a viable desktop operating system for general business use?” or must we continue to be confined to the Windows world for our non-server needs? And what about laptop support, or a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) user or home user, who does not need a network server? Is there a place for Linux in a stand-alone environment? These are some of the questions this paper addresses. I must confess that until recently I was merely a bystander watching with curiosity from the sidelines—without any real involvement— the progress Linux has made. So writing this paper not only gave me the excuse to join in on the action, but it also provides you with the perspective of a Linux “newbie” who is attempting to find the applications and utilities needed to create a working system. The conventional wisdom so far is that Linux is not “ready for prime time” as anything but a network operating system. We shall test this notion to see if I can find commercial, shareware and/or freeware programs for Linux to replace the existing applications I currently use with Windows.
