White Paper These indicate the impact of a number of factors such as processor speeds, network adaptors, versions of the Linux Kernel and device drivers, and TCP/IP tuning on the performance of Gigabit Ethernet between two Pentium II/350 PCs. [18 Jul 2008]
Quality of Service on Linux for the Atlas TDAQ Event Building Network
White Paper Recent Linux releases provide QoS in the kernel to manage network traffic. The paper used PC/Linux with Gigabit Ethernet network as the testbed. Congestion control for packets sent on a network is important for DAQ systems that contain an event... [17 Jul 2008]
Load-Balancing for a Real-Time System Based on Asymmetric Multi-Processing
White Paper ARTiS is a project that aims at enhancing the Linux kernel with better real-time properties. Unfortunately, the original load-balancing mechanism of Linux is not aware of this enhanced design. It allows retaining the flexibility and ease of... [10 Jul 2008]
Operating System Multilevel Load Balancing
White Paper Although sched domains implementation allows Linux to build a multilevel hierarchy to represent multilevel machines, the generic code of the current kernel version builds no more than two levels in the sched domains hierarchy. [10 Jul 2008]
Optimal Communication Performance on Fast Ethernet With GAMMA
White Paper The current prototype of the Genoa Active Message MA- chine (GAMMA) is a low-overhead, Active Messages-based inter-process communication layer implemented mainly at kernel level in the Linux Operating System. [09 Jul 2008]
Using LIDS With Your Mandrake Linux Kernel
White Paper This paper gives an overview of how to use the LIDS kernel patch with the 2.4.16 kernels for i586 and PPC that were recently in cooker. It describes how to patch kernel, build a new one, and configure LIDS to work on server. [03 Jul 2008]
Porting of Wipro's Embedded TCP/IP Stack to Linux
White Paper It was successfully ported onto Linux Kernel. This case study briefly explains the Linux kernel services used newly added Linux kernel services and modified Linux kernel services as part of the porting. [03 Jul 2008]
Preemptible Linux: A Reality Check
White Paper The lack of kernel preemption in Linux means that long system calls can delay high priority user process execution for relatively long periods, running into the tens of milliseconds in a 2.4 kernel. There is now a kernel preemption patch that today... [03 Jul 2008]
The Black Magic of Updating
White Paper It also gives detailed information on kernel updating. The paper describes that in regards to the kernel, there is a little more work to the update. This is so that people do not unknowingly destroy their systems (or create a lot of extra work for... [03 Jul 2008]
MontaVista Software Teams with IBM to Enable Zultys Enterprise Communication System
White Paper Zultys turned to MontaVista Software as MontaVista has an excellent reputation in the Linux community and it authored the preemptible kernel patch and real-time scheduler - two Linux extensions that are very important to them. [03 Jul 2008]
Linux File Systems
White Paper In order to maintain the operating system modular, and to provide applications with a uniform programming interface (API), a higher layer that implements the common functionality of those underlying file systems is implemented in the kernel: the... [03 Jul 2008]
Internals of the RT Patch
White Paper Over the past few years, Ingo Molnar and others have worked diligently to turn the Linux kernel into a viable Real-Time platform. As the RT patch is reaching maturity, and slowly slipping into the upstream kernel, this paper takes the user into the... [02 Jul 2008]
Extreme High Performance Computing or Why Microkernels Suck
White Paper The suggestions frequently received say that Linux cannot scale because it is a monolithic operating system kernel. One often wonders how well Linux scales. However, microkernels have never scaled well and Linux has been scaled up to support... [02 Jul 2008]
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Using Oracle Real Application Clusters on IBM BladeCenter Running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and IBM System Storage DS3400
White Paper The operating system environment described is the 2.6 kernel-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5). This paper discusses the necessary steps to prepare for and successfully install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 32-bit and Oracle Database 11g... [02 Jul 2008]
Breaking the Chains - Using LinuxBIOS to Liberate Embedded x86 Processors
White Paper LinuxBIOS frees the developer from complex CPU and chipset initialization and allows a variety of payloads to be loaded, including the Linux kernel itself. While x86 processors are an attractive option for embedded designs, many embedded developers... [02 Jul 2008]
