  • PS3YDL Cluster
    Yellow Dog 6.1 PS3 Cluster guide Hello everyone, my name is Samir Gartner and this guide is part of my university graduation project. I decided to share it because of the lack of clear documentation about the process of deploying a PS3/YDL cluster. Consider this almost a “PS3 Cluster Deployment for Dummies” guide since I putted some very clear and for some people unnecessary and obvious instructions. I apologize in advance for my grammar but English is not my main language. If you find any technical errors please let me know. The instructions to install GNU/Linux or other opensource OS in the PS3 are widely available (you can use the first part of the PS3/FEDORA instructions) so refer to those instructions for installing Yellow Dog Linux first. I recommend installing all the development tools as well as KDE and Enlightenment GUI even if you don’t like it. In my case I didn’t installed enlightenment and experienced some weird behaviors that lead me to a reinstall. Despite yellow dog has its own boot loader it is very raw and not pretty so I recommend to use OpenSUSE boot loader because it has a beautiful GUI with functional mouse and it allows you to boot into game mode very easily. I also recommend to use identical users and passwords across every node in the cluster and if you pretend to use different operating systems I also recommend to assign identical permissions users and group IDs in every machine, this will facilitate some processes and services like NFS and file sharing, Shell environment variables You must add some paths to the shell environment variables to simplify some commands and access.

  • Amiga NG Nr 0
    Amiga.org.pl komputer Amiga współcześnie Spis treści AMIGA legenda informatyki 2 Retro 4 Emulacja 6 Współczesna Amiga nowej generacji 11 MorphOS 17 AROS 24 Amiga dzisiaj Zainteresowanie komputerem Amiga jest nieprzemijające. Niezależnie od tych, którzy mają Amigę “od zawsze”, biegnie współcześnie jej nieprzerwany rozwój, i to wielotorowo. Oprócz tego możemy cieszyć się różnymi hobbystycznymi rozwinięciami, pozwalającymi w sposób bardziej wygodny korzystać z rozrywki w formie retro. Amiga dzisiaj to “amigowanie”, wielka różnorodność i wiele smaków 1 Amiga retro AMIGA legenda informatyki AMIGA - pierwszy na świecie komputer multimedialny. Premiera w 1985 r. Wcześniej były inne innowacyjne konstrukcje (np. firmy Xerox czy Lisa firmy Apple) ale to Amiga wnosiła fenomenalną na ówczesne czasy grafikę, animację i dźwięk. Architektura komputera to specjalizowane układy odciążające procesor. artyści Andy Warhole i Debby Harry przy pierwszej Amidze Rewelacją był też wielozadaniowy system operacyjny. Prasa branżowa potraktowała wtedy Amigę jako zabawkę, nie wiadomo było co z tym robić. Ten pierwszy model nazywał się po prostu Amiga, potem nazywano go Amiga 1000. Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie. Kolejne modele pojawiły się 2 lata później – dopiero one odniosły sukces. Amiga 2000 i Amiga 500, oparte na podobnych podzespołach, okienkowy graficzny interfejs – Workbench jednocześnie rozdzieliły pierwotną koncepcję na dwie linie komputerów – “duże” i “małe” Amigi. 2 Amiga retro “Duże” Amigi przypominały PC, były to desktopy, umożliwiające rozbudowę za pomocą kart rozszerzeń. Za sprawą rozszerzenia Video Toaster stały się na jakiś czas standardem w edycji wideo.

  • Dwarf – Okruženje Za Autorizovano Upravljanje Yum/Apt Repozitorijumima Dwarf – the Framework for Authorized Yum/Apt Repositories Management
    INFOTEH-JAHORINA Vol. 8, Ref. E-V-8, p. 721-725, March 2009. DWARF – OKRUŽENJE ZA AUTORIZOVANO UPRAVLJANJE YUM/APT REPOZITORIJUMIMA DWARF – THE FRAMEWORK FOR AUTHORIZED YUM/APT REPOSITORIES MANAGEMENT Dušan Vudragović, Antun Balaž, Vladimir Slavnić, Aleksandar Belić, Laboratorija za primenu računara u nauci, Institut za fiziku, Pregrevica 118, 11080 Beograd, Srbija Dusan Vudragovic, Antun Balaz, Vladimir Slavnic, Aleksandar Belic, Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics Belgrade, Pregrevica 118, 11080 Belgrade, Serbia Sadržaj – Većina savremenih RPM kompatibilnih Linuks sistema koristi YUM ili APT alate za automatsko preuzimanje, konfiguraciju i instalaciju softverskih paketa. Upravljanje paketima se zasniva na konceptu softverskog repozitorijuma - lokacije sa koje se paketi preuzimaju i instaliraju na racunar, uz automatsko razresavanje medjuzavisnosti paketa. Kada softverski repozitorijum koristi i organizuje veliki broj saradnika iz različitih institucija, pristup repozitorijumu treba omogućiti svakom od njih. U ovom radu je opisano DWARF okruženje koje omogućava autentifikovani i autorizovani prenos RPM paketa i kreiranje APT/YUM repozitorijuma korišćenjem digitalnih sertifikata. DWARF je realizovan kao veb aplikacija koja pruža autorizovano organizovanje strukture repozitorijuma, prenos RPM paketa i nezavisnu izgradnju različitih delova repozitorijuma, odnosno repozitorijuma kao celine. DWARF se trenutno koristi u SEE-GRID-SCI Grid e-Infrastrukturi. Abstract – The most of modern RPM-compatible Linux systems use YUM or APT tools for automating retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages. These package management utilities rely on the concept of software repository - storage location from which software packages may be retrieved and installed on a computer, with automatic resolution of package dependencies. When a software repository is managed and organized by many contributors from different institutions, access to the repository has to be provided to each of them.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

  • How to Turn Ordinary Linux to a Game Station / Best Games to Install and Play on Debian Linux
    Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog How to turn ordinary Linux to a game station / Best Games to install and play on Debian Linux Author : admin Hereby in this article I'll in short give you a quick way to install a number of my favourite linux games. In my view the games I'm going to suggest for installation are actually among the best existent games you could install and play on a Linux Desktop today. Many people say/believe Linux does not have games, or the games for Linux/BSD are not fully featured and are not comparable to the ones for Windows, most of this sayings and beliefs are actually a fairy tales. I should admit of course that Linux is still lacking behind in its gaming capabilities, even quite behind any Windows platform (Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to be as much realistic as possible here in my estimation). However little by little year by year as time passes by with time the situation for the coming generation of Linux Gamers is gettings better and better!. The amount of free and non-free games is rising day by day, wheter many of the large game producing companies like Blizzard, ID Software etc. are producing ports of their proprietary games for Linux. Along with that the amount of Linux Enthusiast gamers and hobbyist is constantly increasing. At the present moment probably there are more than 5000 games for Linux! Many of that games count still requires heavy testing or are not yet production ready and therefore they don't make it as a packages in the general Linux distributions repositories.
