[Thin-oscar-user] backbone of a large-file streaming system

[Nick I <clu...@gm...>]

Hi,
I help maintain a Web site at
www.clusterbuilder.org<http://www.clusterbuilder.org/>.
You might have seen before that I have a section called Ask the Cluster
Expert, where I am building a knowledgebase of cluster and grid information=
.
When someone asks a question I am researching the answer to build this
knowledgebase out. I received the following question:

*"I am looking for a variety of solutions to be a backbone of a large-file
streaming system providing thousands of concurrent download streams.
Preferably commodity hardware and Linux, though I'm open to commercial
solutions."*

I am wondering if anyone here has suggestions of what applications will wor=
k
best for this type of setup. You can respond to the question at
www.clusterbuilder.org/FAQ
<http://www.clusterbuilder.org/FAQ>or respond in email.

Thanks,
Nick

[Thin-oscar-user] Ask the Cluster Expert

[Nick I <clu...@gm...>]

Hi,

Thanks to the response from many in the community I have added sections
about diskless clusters and information on 32-bit and 64-bit processors at
the site I help run,
www.ClusterBuilder.org.<http://www.clusterbuilder.org/>I also added a
section called Ask the Cluster Expert (
http://www.clusterbuilder.org/pages/ask-the-expert.php) for people to submi=
t
questions they have about cluster and grid computing. I post the questions
at an FAQ page (http://www.clusterbuilder.org/FAQ<http://www.clusterbuilder=
.org/pages/ask-the-expert/faq.php>)
and then research the answer as well as allow those knowledgeable in the
community to submit a response to the question. I want to build a valuable
knowledgebase of high performance computing information.

I need you to share your knowledge by adding to the question responses and
also submitting questions/answers to common problems you've experienced in
the past and are experiencing now.

A sample question can be about diskless clusters.

Thanks,

Nick

[Thin-oscar-user] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.
