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 This paper describes an algorithm that allows Linux to per-form multilevel load balancing in NUMA computers. The Linux scheduler implements a load balancing algorithm that uses structures called sched domains to build a hierarchy that represents... [10 Jul 2008]
Virtual Private Networks: An Overview With Performance Evaluation
White Paper This paper studies some of the most popular Open-Source Linux-Based VPN solutions (OSLVs) and compares them with respect to network performance (measured in terms of overhead, bandwidth utilization, and latency/jitter), features and... [10 Jul 2008]
Virtual Private Networks Coping With Complexity
White Paper This paper is going to present some approaches for IP address, user, and access control management that have already been realized for the Linux FreeS/WAN IPsec stack or that are considered for implementation by the ZHW Security Group. [10 Jul 2008]
Optimizing 10-Gigabit Ethernet for Networks of Workstations, Clusters, and Grids: A Case Study
White Paper For local-area, storage-area, and system-area networks in support of networks of workstations, network-attached storage, and clusters, respectively, one can achieve over 7-Gb/s end-to-end throughput and 12- s end-to-end latency between... [10 Jul 2008]
Cluster Load Balancing for Fine-Grain Network Services
White Paper Another contribution is the design and implementation of a load balancing system in a Linux cluster that strikes a balance between acquiring enough load information and minimizing system overhead. This paper studies cluster load balancing policies... [10 Jul 2008]
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Application Compatibility

Chicago Mercantile Exchange Uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Double Daily Trades and Halve Hardware Costs
White Paper That is exactly what's happened since the CME initiated its migration from legacy Sun Solaris UNIX systems to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in early 2004. The CME chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux over rival Linux offerings because of Red Hat's proven... [09 Jul 2008]
A Personal Firewall for Linux
White Paper This paper constitutes the investigation and development of a user-friendly tool for firewall-configuration and -management, based on the netfilter/iptables-firewall-code residing in current Linux-kernels. [09 Jul 2008]
QuickHelp 2.0: Help Authoring for Windows, Macintosh & Linux
White Paper QuickHelp 2.0 adds configurable actions, tables, parameters, default options, precompiled indexes and other performance enhancements making it 2 to 3 times faster than previous versions. Configurable actions include running an executable... [09 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]
National IT Center Improves Customer Service With High-Performance Compute Cluster
White Paper HLRS designed its own software that ran only on Linux-based systems, and customers with Windows operating systems had difficulty working with the application and its data. The High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) delivers computer... [09 Jul 2008]
Non-Shared Disk Cluster - A Fault Tolerant, Commodity Approach to Hi-Bandwidth Data Analysis
White Paper The prototype hardware consists of two small clusters of linux nodes (about 10 dual-CPU nodes), a few 100 GB local disk on each node. The STAR experiment, in collaboration with the NERSC Scientific Data Management Group is prototyping / developing... [09 Jul 2008]
