Free 32bit software for linux

Beast project is a powerful music composition and modular synthesis application.

Beast is a powerful music composition and modular synthesis application released as free software under the GNU GPL and GNU LGPL, that runs under unix. It supports a wide range of standards in the field, such as MIDI, WAV/AIFF/MP3/OggVorbis/etc audio files and LADSPA modules.

It has excellent technical abilities like multitrack editing, unlimited undo/redo support, real-time synthesis support, 32bit audio rendering, full duplex support, multiprocessor support, precise timing down to sample granularity, on demand loading of partial wave files, on the fly decoding and full scriptability in scheme.

The plugins, synthesis core and the user interface are actively being developed and translated into a variety of languages, regularly assimilating user feedback.

IRCD-Hybrid project is a an Internet Relay Chat daemon.
Version restrictions:
- If a module is modified before being unloaded, /MODUNLOAD (and therefore /MODRELOAD) may cause a core.
This problem is caused by the behaviour of the OS, which treats shared libraries differently to executables (modifying the ircd binary whilst it is running would also cause a core, but is denied by the OS).
There is no way to fix this at the application level, and fixing the OS to do the right thing is also difficult.
A workaround to avoid coring is possible however. To install new modules, first remove or rename the old module, then copy/move the new file into place. /MODUNLOAD will then work successfully.
Alternatively, running ./configure with the --disable-shared-modules argument will link all the commands statically, losing the advantages of upgrading at runtime, but reducing the chances of accidentally coring your server.
- Solaris stock 32bit stdio is limited to 256 fds. This breaks when using cryptlinks.
- New bug reported in some 64 bit and powerpc (yellowdog linux) code. This bug is actually in gcc itself, the spec says you dont modify a va_list in libc, but gcc does.
The bug manifests itself as immediately coring when anyone types anything on a channel.
You will find a quick work around in contrib until this bug in gcc is fixed.

WMDIMP is a digital music player applet. In other words, it can play your favourite mp3s in background while youre working or doing something else, being always visible and handy.
Its an applet because its small and simple GUI is just 64 x 64 pixel wide, designed to fit into your WindowMakers dock or AfterSteps wharf, or other window managers equivalent (if they support window swallowing). If being ran as a normal application, it runs as a shaped 64x64 pixel window. At the moment, its tested only under linux/ix86, but it might run on other systems and architectures too (and Id like to know if someone tries).
It has been reported not to compile under freebsd :((, but I dont have any way to try and fix it on systems other than linux; if someone wants to help, send me a mail.
It is derived from another small player, wmmp3, by Patrick Crosby, which I used as a starting point. Anyway, wmdimp has gone far away, and now almost all the main code is written from scratch by me.
Main features:
- Its small, simple, and very handy.
- It doesnt depend on the presence of other external players, this way having more control over the whole playback (it uses the libmad library). On the contrary, if you like it to be just a shell over mpg123 without having to install the libmad library, you can do this too.
- It plays high quality audio (using the internal player), since it gets a 28 bit stream from libmad and, if your card cannot play 32bit streams directly, it scales it to 16 bit with dithering and noise shaping.
- Its very lightweight, it uses low memory and cpu power.
- It has a fairly good buffering system to avoid clicks under heavy load (if you use mpg123 to play your files, this is not always true and depends on mpg123).
- It has many useful features, such as random order play, repeat album or switch to the next, skip unavailable directories, ecc.
- It will play many strange or corrupted files, as long as they contain some valid mp3 data.
- Its skinnable (only compile-time, run-time skin switching is coming).
- It can play ogg vorbis, and in the future, it will play other formats, such as wav or flac, and it may use other sound systems than OSS (alsa, artsd, esd, ...), or maybe anything else (just ask me).
- Last but not least, its free and covered by the GPL!
Enhancements:
- ID3 support with the internal mp3 player.
- Many bugs fixed, now segmentation faults and deadlocks should be very unfrequent (if they actually show up).
- Better buffering ==> lower cpu usage (with the internal mp3 player)
- Little change in push buttons behaviour: action is taken on mouse button release instead of press (except pause/play and toggles).

GridMPI is a new open-source free-software implementation of the standard MPI (Message Passing Interface) library designed for the Grid. GridMPI project enables unmodified applications to run on cluster computers distributed across the Grid environment.
GridMPI team found that it is feasible to connect cluster computers and to run ordinary scientific applications in distance upto 500 miles. Simple experiment has shown that most MPI benchmarks scale fine upto 20 millisecond round-trip latency which corresponds to about 500 miles in distance, when the clusters are connected by fast 1 to 10 Gbps networks. 500 miles covers the major cities between Tokyo--Osaka in Japan.
Thus, applications which are too large to run on a local cluster should run on multiple clusters in the Grid environment with acceptable performance. However, it is only feasible when using an efficient MPI implementation [1]. Existing implementations are not efficient enough mainly because of the two reasons: their focus on security features and TCP performance problems.
GridMPI skips security layers assuming dedicated secure links. The institutes housing large clusters tend to have their own networks to connect to other institutes in most cases. GridMPI so focuses on the performance on TCP. Since existing implementations are in most cases designed for MPP machines and recently clusters with special hardware, their performance on TCP with Ethernet is not optimal.
Also TCP performance itself is not optimal for the work load of the MPI traffic. In addition, support for heterogeneous combinations of computers of the existing MPI implementations is not satisfactory. Thus, GridMPI is designed and implemented from the scratch. GridMPI is carefully coded and tested with heterogeneity in mind.
Main features:
- Full conformance to the standard: GridMPI passes 100% of the functional tests of the large test suites from ANL and Intel (MPI-1.2 level).
- Full heterogeneity support: GridMPI is fully tested with combinations of processors of 32bit/64bit and big/little-endian.
- Primary support of TCP/IP and sockets: GridMPI is written from scratch and it is new and clean. It is efficient with sockets, and thus suitable for the Grid as well as ordinary Ethernet-based clusters.
- Cooperation with Grid job submission: GridMPI can be used with Globus, Unicore, tool from NAREGI project, etc.
- Checkpointing support: GridMPI supports checkpointing on Linux/IA32 platforms to restart long-running applications from failure.
- Vendor MPI support: GridMPI supports IBM-MPI, Fujitsu-Solaris-MPI, Intel-MPI, and any MPICH-based MPI for clusters with special communication hardware.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes were made.

SDL convertion of libbgrab (a framegrabber lib from the same author).

The library uses a separate thread to grab images into a "triple buffer" queue independent of an external "game loop". This uses memory bandwidth but makes it easy to integrate live video into other applications. Images are always grabbed at 32bit RGBx resolutions.

YUV grabbing is currently not implemented. To improve image quality, several deinterlace
algorithms are available.

Installation:

./autogen.sh (optional)
./configure (./configure --help for options)
make
make install
ldconfig
make distclean
