MATE Release 6.0 System Requirements System Requirements MATE Release 6.0 System Requirements MATE Collector server requirements vary, depending on whether it is being used to collect data for MATE Design or MATE Live. Note that all servers used in the collection process must have their times synchronized in order to produce accurate traffic tables and collection log timestamps. This time should be no more than 60 seconds different from the time on any given router in the network. We strongly recommend that NTP (Network Time Protocol) be used for synchronizing times on all servers used in the collection process. Please contact your Cisco representative if you have questions.

  • Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 the X.Orgfoundation the Xfree86 Project, Inc
    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.

  • Optimization of Fontconfig Library Optimization of Fontconfig Library
    Michal Srb OPTIMIZATION OF FONTCONFIG LIBRARY OPTIMIZATION OF FONTCONFIG LIBRARY Michal Srb Bachelor's Thesis Spring 2017 Information Technology Oulu University of Applied Sciences ABSTRACT Oulu University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Information Technology, Internet Services Author: Michal Srb Title of the bachelor’s thesis: Optimization of Fontconfig Library Supervisor: Teemu Korpela Term and year of completion: Spring 2017 Number of pages: 39 + 1 appendix Fontconfig is a library that manages a database of fonts on Linux systems. The aim of this Bachelor's thesis was to explore options for making it respond faster to application's queries. The library was identified as a bottleneck during the startup of graphical applications. The typical usage of the library by applications was analyzed and a set of standalone benchmarks were created. The library was profiled to identify hot spots and multiple optimizations were applied to it. It was determined that to achieve an optimal performance, a complete rewrite would be necessary. However, that could not be done while staying backward compatible. Nevertheless, the optimizations applied to the existing fontconfig yielded significant performance improvements, up to 98% speedups in benchmarks based on the real-world usage. Keywords: fontconfig, optimization, benchmarking, profiling 3 CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 6 2 BACKGROUND 7 1.1 Motivation 7 1.2 Fontconfig 8 1.2.1 Function 9 1.2.2 Configuration 11 2 ANALYSIS 12 2.1 Main entry functions 12 2.1.1 FcFontMatch 12 2.1.2 FcFontSort 14 2.1.3

  • Gstreamer SDK
    GStreamer SDK Andoni Morales Alastruey (ylatuya) GStreamer Conference, 27th of August 2012 - San Diego The GStreamer SDK is a joint initiative from Fluendo and Collabora to provide a stable and tested distribution of GStreamer for the most common platforms (Linux, Windows and OS X). ˆ The first release of the SDK, Amazon 2012.5, was done the end of May. ˆ A new bugfix release for Amazon is scheduled within the next weeks. ˆ The next release will be named Brahmputra, with support for Android. Topics: ˆ Goals of the SDK ˆ SDK's components ˆ Developments done for the SDK ˆ Building the SDK ˆ Packaging the SDK ˆ Integration with the native OS development tools (VS, XCode) ˆ cerbero: the build system used to build and package the SDK 1. Goals of the SDK Lower the barrier to entry for new GStreamer adopters - GStreamer is a huge project and it's sometimes hard to get started with - The current documentation is very good, but it can be overwhelming for developers starting with GStreamer. - It's hard to evaluate GStreamer as a solution for a project in a quick way. ✔ A new documentation site where GStreamer is described in a more generic way for newcomers. ✔ Create a new set of tutorials to introduce progressively new developers in the GStreamer concepts. Promote GStreamer as a multi-platform multimedia framework - GStreamer is the best multimedia framework on Linux (isn't it?), but still not very popular in other platforms. - It's a cross-platform framework, but we don't provide installers/packages for Windows and OS X - Developing and distributing GStreamer apps is rather tricky on Windows and OS X (no package managers like yum or apt-get to resolve deps ☹ ) ✔ Provide installers with pre-compiled binaries.
