  • Montavista Linux Carrier Grade Edition
    MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition WHITE PAPER ABSTRACT: Communications networks are very different from other kinds of computing applications. Networks require both very high reliability and very high performance. Not only must they process large volumes of data at high speed, but they must do so while limiting their downtime to minutes per year. Network failures can have huge economic consequences and can even result in the loss of life. Additionally, in this post-9/11 world, failure also has a national security dimension. This technical whitepaper introduces MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition— what it is, how it evolved, and how it provides a foundation for developing and deploying carrier-grade applications like those described above.

  • Linux Foundation to Host Meego Workgroup
    Linux Foundation To Host MeeGo Workgroup New Open Source Software Platform Backed by Intel and Nokia will Power the Next Generation of Computing Devices SAN FRANCISCO, February 15, 2010 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it will host the MeeGo project, the open source software platform for the next generation of computing devices. MeeGo combines Intel’s Moblin™ and Nokia’s Maemo projects into one Linux-based platform. MeeGo, announced today in a joint release by Intel and Nokia, will be deployed across many computing device types - including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems, and brings together the leaders in computing and mobile communications as the project’s backers. MeeGo is designed for cross-device, cross-architecture computing and is built from the ground up for a new class of powerful computing devices. The workgroup will be hosted by the Linux Foundation as a fully open source project, encouraging community contributions in line with the best practices of the open source development model. The Linux Foundation expects MeeGo to be adopted widely by device manufacturers, network operators, software vendors and developers across multiple device types and for many organizations and developers to participate in the workgroup. “With MeeGo, you have the world’s leader in computing – Intel – uniting with the world’s leader in communications – Nokia – in a true open source project hosted at the Linux Foundation,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation. “MeeGo has been built from the ground up for rich, mobile devices and will deliver choice to consumers without lock-in.

  • Atomicity and Visibility in Tiny Embedded Systems
    Atomicity and Visibility in Tiny Embedded Systems John Regehr Nathan Cooprider David Gay University of Utah, School of Computing Intel Research Berkeley {regehr, coop}@cs.utah.edu [email protected] Abstract bool flag = false; // interrupt handler Visibility is a property of a programming language’s void __vector_5 (void) memory model that determines when values stored by { one concurrent computation become visible to other atomic flag = true; computations. Our work exploits the insight that in } nesC, a C-like language with explicit atomicity, the traditional way of ensuring timely visibility—volatile void wait_for_interrupt(void) variables—can be entirely avoided. This is advan- { tageous because the volatile qualifier is a notorious bool done = false; do { source of programming errors and misunderstandings. atomic if (!flag) done = true; Furthermore, the volatile qualifier hurts performance } while (!done); by inhibiting many more optimizations than are neces- } sary to ensure visibility. In this paper we extend the semantics of nesC’s atomic statements to include a visi- bility guarantee, we show two ways that these semantics Figure 1. nesC code containing a visibility er- can be implemented, and we also show that our better ror implementation has no drawbacks in terms of resource usage.
