Parralel Computing Turorial

              This presentation covers the basics of parallel computing. Beginning with a brief overview and some concepts and terminology associated with parallel computing, the topics of parallel memory architectures and programming models are then explored. These topics are followed by a discussion on a number of issues related to designing parallel programs. The last portion of the presentation is spent examining how to parallelize several different types of serial programs.
 

GNU/Linux Command-Line Tools Summary

                This document is an attempt to summarise the many command-line based tools available to a GNU/Linux based operating system. This guide is not a complete listing (I doubt it's possible to document all available programs), this document lists many tools which are available to GNU/Linux systems and which are, or can be useful to the majority of users.

IPC:Shared Memory

        Shared Memory is an efficeint means of passing data between programs. One program will create a memory portion which other processes (if permitted) can access.

        In the Solaris 2.x operating system, the most efficient way to implement shared memory applications is to rely on the mmap() function and on the system's native virtual memory facility. Solaris 2.x also supports System V shared memory, which is another way to let multiple processes attach a segment of physical memory to their virtual address spaces. When write access is allowed for more than one process, an outside protocol or mechanism such as a semaphore can be used to prevent inconsistencies and collisions.

Using XML in MySQL 5.1 and 6.0

                In this article, we discuss the XML functionality available in MySQL, with an emphasis on new features coming online in MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 6.0. We assume that you already have a working knowledge of XML, and that you know what the terms “valid” and “well-formed” mean. We also assume that you have some knowledge of XPath.

The Pocket Linux Guide

                The Pocket Linux Guide demonstrates how to build a small console−based GNU/Linux system using only source code and a couple of diskettes. It is intended for Linux users who would like to gain a deeper understanding about how their system works beneath the shroud of distribution specific features and tools.

The Linux Print2Win mini−HOWTO

              As we want the print service running, we'll set up all the environment step by step, to avoid mistakes or bad
configurations. First, set up the server; when you have the server running, configure the clients.
