Open Source Linux System Software

The toolkit glpk supports methods for mixed integer linear programming (MILP). These methods solve Capital Budgeting Problems (CBP). Unfortunately, glpk does not support any multithreading and there is no feature to distribute problems via network connections. Today, this is a pitiable sight, because modern computer systems are coupled by networks and support multi threading. We create a distributed system with Apache thrift and the C-API of glpk. Now, it is possible to use as many cores in a network as you want. With a focus on the MILP methods we implement a load balancing and speed up the solving process in a multiplicative way. Sometimes we have super-linear speedup with a small set of hardware. With a splitting of problems, parallel computing and distributing the actual best solution to all running processes we solve CBP much faster than a sequential processing can do.

JMS/Joram implementation of the Bully election algorithm. It is a library to be used by a process' implementation to make it transparently manage coordinator's elections, while it carries out business logic. A sample application is included.

Computer Breaker is a network testing tool that allows networking administrators to test if a computer is vulnerable to malicious attacks. Using the Nessus scanner, computer-breaker scans the remote host and automaticaly exploits its vulnerabilities.

This project aims to implement an LC2/LC3 assembler and simulator for the Linux and Windows platforms.

This project is now dead. It has been replaced by a Wiki located here: http://www.linspireguide.com. If you're interested in getting involved please stop by and sign up.

This project is intended to be an educational tool for two general topics: RAM Disks (ramdisk) and Block Devices on the Linux platform. This project is currently inactive. You can instead download the latest RapidDisk kernel module: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rxdsk/

Multicast GNU/Linux Installation using udpcast for transfer and a custom script for installation and configuration. Supports installation of previously captured systems. Our new development site: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/muglin/

Here you can find both an Oberon V4 system for Linux (x86) and a collection of Oberon V4 sources for various other platforms. Oberon V4 was implemented at ETH Zurich for several platforms. Binaries can be found on their server[1] and on the one of the University of Linz[2] where Mössenböck's group did further development after he left ETH and the Group at ETH concentrated on System 3. More Information can be found in the wiki https://sourceforge.net/p/oberon/wiki/Home/ of this Project and on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system). In 2013 they were moved here for easy access and, in case of interest, collaboration on further development. The Oberon mailing list[3] is an established channel for its discussion and followed also by the administrators of this SF project.

Have you ever wondered what hardware works with what. This project aims to create a database (online/offline) that people can search to find compatibile hardware which actually works with their computers.

The Working Centre Linux Project is a Debian distribution designed for low-powered computers (25mhz 486s w/16MB ram/400MB disk). The project exists to recycle donated computers for people who may have never used computers, or may have Windows experience.
