  • BIONIX – a Solaris Based Platform for Computational Biology Abhishek Pratap1 Prateek Singh2
    BIONIX – a Solaris based Platform for Computational Biology Abhishek Pratap1 Prateek Singh2 1 VIT University, Vellore, TN 632014 India [email protected] 2 VIT University, Vellore, TN 632014 India [email protected] Keywords: Live CD, operating system, Integrated Workbench, Software. Bionix is an integrated software workbench, developed for bioinformaticians and computational biologists. Bioinx is a remastered version of Belenix with open source based bioinformatics applications being integrated with the kernel. The fact that distinguishes Bionix from other open source software’s is the performance based on the most advanced operating system technology, Solaris platform with feature like ZFS(128 bit File System), DTrace (Dynamic Tracing Framework), Zones (Multiple application can run in isolation), SMF (Service Management Framework for handling dependencies). There has been significant reduction in the boot time and memory requirements with on the fly compression techniques being used. It is independent of host operating system. It may provide an ad-hoc solution where no Solaris is installed and has the capability of forming a virtual cluster lab in minutes with auto network detection. The entire Emboss package has been remodeled with graphical user interface and onscreen help options, the NCBI toolkit with all flavors of blast and utilities like entrez search and sequin where a biologist can search or submit a sequence without going to web interface, molecular visualization tools like RasMol and Garlic; and a Perl module, bioperl for application development. The work on parallel computing with Bionix is in progress. The entire project has been coordinated with Asia Pacific Science and Technology Center, Sun Microsystems, Singapore.

  • Asesor Profesional: - Carrera: Licenciatura En Informática
    Título: Redes inalámbricas ad-hoc autoconfigurables. Caso de estudio e implementación Autores: Marcos Mazzini Director: Ing. Luis Marrone Codirector: Lic. Paula Venosa Asesor profesional: - Carrera: Licenciatura en Informática Cualquier computadora portátil medianamente moderna ya cuenta con una placa de red inalámbrica y soporte para redes ad-hoc o sea que cada placa de red puede reenviar datos a cualquier otra que esté a su alcance sin necesidad de un nodo centralizado, pero esta configuración no viene por defecto en los distintos sistemas operativos y en general se requiere instalar y configurar software adicional para que la comunicación sea simple para el usuario no experto. Con la idea de facilitar el aprovechamiento del hardware con el que cuentan estas computadoras, se investigaron las tecnologías existentes que permiten configurar las placas de red en modo ad-hoc, asignar direcciones IP en forma descentralizada, resolver nombres de forma descentralizada y anunciar servicios de cada computadora en un entorno de red. Con esta información se derivó una versión Live CD de Linux con aplicaciones para redes preconfiguradas, soporte para placas de red Wi-Fi y modo ad-hoc preconfigurado de modo que si dos o más notebooks bootean este sistema puedan intercambiar archivos, compartir información, chatear y visualizar remotamente los escritorios y utilizar aplicaciones de red entre ellas sin ninguna necesidad de configurar, instalar o modificar los sistemas existentes y sin necesidad de conectarse a un Access Point. Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc LiveCD Linux Cigarra Conectar Igualdad Se verificó que las tecnologías analizadas son Debian Live Zeroconf Avahi mDNS Link Local IP compatibles y que resuelven la funcionalidad esperada.

  • Guía De Instalación Y Uso De Belenix
    Guía de instalación y uso de Belenix Notas de uso BeleniX se inicia desde un CD y es bastante fácil de entender. No obstante, algunas notas ayudan a utilizarlo: 1. Al arrancarlo, se solicita realizar dos acciones: seleccionar la distribución del teclado, y si se prefiere el modo de línea de comandos o la GUI de XWindows. 2. Tras el arranque, es posible alternar entre el modo de línea de comandos y la GUI. El comando "startgui" inicia los servicios de Xserver y abre el escritorio de Xfce. El comando "stopgui" detiene los servicios de Xserver y vuelve al modo de línea de comandos. 3. BeleniX solicita un nombre de usuario y contraseña en el inicio de sesión de la línea de comandos. De forma predeterminada, el nombre de usuario es "root" y la contraseña "belenix". En el escritorio de la GUI todavía no se solicita ningún nombre de usuario ni contraseña. 4. Al iniciar el escritorio de la GUI por primera vez, aparece en pantalla el mensaje de seguimiento "Call Stack of Bad Caller". Este mensaje no genera ningún error; se trata de un problema conocido del controlador de apertura que utiliza una API de núcleo obsoleta. 5. BeleniX montará automáticamente las particiones reconocidas del disco duro en /mnt. La primera partición FAT se montará en /mnt/fat0, y así sucesivamente. De modo similar, los segmentos UFS se montarán en /mnt/solaris0..n. Es una función de recuperación. 6. Asimismo, BeleniX intentará utilizar un segmento de intercambio en el disco duro si ya hay una partición de Solaris con el intercambio configurado.

OS as in Operating System Note: illumos not Illumos or IllumOS “illumos” trademark application in review. Visual branding still under consideration. Not All of OpenSolaris is Open Source ● Critical components closed source – libc_i18n (needed for working C library) – NFS lock manager – Portions of crypto framework – Numerous critical drivers (e.g. mpt) ● Presents challenges to downstream dependents – Nexenta, Belenix, SchilliX, etc. – See “Darwin” and “MacOS X” for the worst case What's Good ● The Technology! – ZFS, DTrace, Crossbow, Zones, etc. ● The People – World class engineers! – Great community of enthusiasts – Vibrant ecosystem ● The Code is Open – Well most of it, at least illumos – the Project ● Derivative (child) of OS/Net (aka ON) – Solaris/OpenSolaris kernel and foundation – 100% ABI compatible with Solaris ON – Now a real fork of ON, but will merge when code available from Oracle ● No closed code – Open source libc, kernel, and drivers! ● Repository for other “experimental” innovations – Can accept changes from contributors that might not be acceptable to upstream illumos – the Ecosystem ● illumos-gate is just ON – Focused on “Core Foundation Blocks” – Flagship project ● Expanding to host other affiliated projects – Umbrella organization – X11 components? – Desktop components? – C++ Runtime? – Distributions? illumos – the Community ● Stands independently
