VT6530 Terminal Emulator 0.2
VT6530 is a Java implementation of the proprietary terminal used with Tandem mainframes. more>>
The Tandem VT6530 is a proprietary terminal used with their Non-Stop(TM) series of mainframes. These high-reliability machines are popular in the banking industry. If youve ever used an ATM to get cash, youve probably used a VT6530.
The terminal itself can operate in three different mode: conversation, block, and ANSI (VT100). Conversation mode is a simple scrolling text mode with the addition key buffering and text attributes. In block mode, text is displayed in a formated screen with special edit fields. ANSI mode is only used with OSS, Tandems UNIX wanabe operating layer.
Enhancements:
- Autotools support (./configure, make, make check, and make install).
- New telnet and ANSI terminal implementations.
- Linux, Cygwin, and HP NonStop (tandem OSS) builds are not quite running yet.
Wide Area Link Emulator 0.1
Wide Area Link Emulator enables you to set and test various parameters of a WAN access link more>>
Any ISP has a high bandwidth LAN (of the order of tens of Mbps, e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN access link with relatively low speeds (of the order of a few Kbps to a few Mbps). To be able to evaluate the ISPs performance, actual tests will have to be conducted on a live, fully functional network. This would imply enabling certain features in communication equipment which could be detrimental to the proper functioning of a commissioned network. To address such a problem of being able to characterize/quantify the network operation in terms of its performance with respect to various parameters, a test-bed emulating the ISPs connectivity to the Internet would be an ideal solution.
An important factor in setting up such a test-bed, is emulating the WAN Access Link. Using complex hardware is costly. Such a link can however be easily implemented by emulating the scenario on popular physical technology such as Ethernet. By changing the TCP/IP stack on a Personal Computer, the rate at which packets are injected into the network can be controlled and other necessary features can easily be added.
WALE was implemented in 2 phases and the first version can emulated bandwidths up to 8Mbps and uses FIFO queues with drop-tail.
WALE v2 can emulate bandwidths of up to 80Mbps(a 10-fold improvement over version 1) due to the stripped down version of Micro-second resolution timer being used in the Linux kernel. WALE also implements differentiated services are recommended by IETF. A hash-based packet classifier is used to classify packets into one of 3 queues (Expedited Forwarding, Assured Forwarding and Best Effort). A simple priority scheduling has been implemented between the queues.
Version 2 has been implemented in the Generic Device Layer of the Linux Kernel. The kernel version is 2.2.19. WALE2 kernel patch can be downloaded here. An ncurses based front end has been implemented for setting and viewing various parameters of the bottleneck link.
SIMD Cross-platform headers 2004.10.26
SIMD Cross-platform headers is a cross- platform, cross-compiler, cross CPU C/C++ header collection. more>>
SIMD Cross-platform headerst supports (or partially supports) x86 (MMX/SSE/SSE2) GCC and MSVC, PPC Altivec GCC and CodeWarrior, ARM GCC, and software-emulated SIMD.
NOTE: Code must be 16-byte aligned. Align to 16 when allocating memory.
X86/XSCALE (Intel) vs. PowerPC/MIPS
While the PowerPC and MIPS SIMD instructions take 2 source vectors and a destination vector, the Intel platforms only take a source and destination. Example:
PPC/MIPS can do:
C = A + B
X86 can only do:
A = A + B (or A+=B)
Code written either way will work on the X86, and still be faster than 387 math, but preserving the registers takes significant overhead (Disassemble the test program for an example. The prints preserve, the disassembly test does not.) For the fastest code between systems, write your SIMD math as the X86 expects, manually preserving SIMD variables.
At least GCC for PPC doesnt seem to have any issues figuring out how to deal with a source and destination memory address being the same.
Enhancements:
- Created file with some i386, GCC dialect

Java Platform Invoke API Demo (Linux) - Java Platform Invoke API (Demo version) for Linux/Unix, i386.
Enables Java code to call native functions implemented in shared link libraries like in Microsoft .NET Framework. Written for JSE 1.5.x and later.
Java platform invoke an API that enables Java code to call native functions implemented in shared libraries, such as those in the Linux API. It locates and invokes an exported function and marshals its arguments (integers, strings, arrays, structures, and so on) across the interoperation boundary as needed. This API supports implicit marshaling that makes Java coding with native functions very simple.
To consume a shared library functions you need
1.Identify functions in shared librarys.
Minimally, you must specify the name of the function and name of the the shared library that contains it.
2.Create a class to hold shared library functions.
You can use an existing class, create an individual class for each native function, or create one class that contains a set of related native functions. This class should extend CNativeLibrary. Use the annotation ImportLibrary to bind your class to the native library.
3.Create prototypes in Java code.
Write prototype of a native function as a method with signature that corresponds to the native function using data type map agreement. To identify the native function use the annotation Function. Mark the method with the native modifier.
4.Call a shared library function.
Call the method on your Java class as you would any other Java method. As parameters can be passed structures and implemented in Java callback functions.

Cross Platform Toolkit Library (xtklib) 0.2.0 Alpha
Cross Platform Toolkit Library(xtklib) is a C++ based framework for highly object-oriented cross-platform programming. more>>
In particular, the library provides a full abstraction layer between its API and the main services offered by the underlying operating system(Thread, processes,GUI,Filesystem,etc.) plus a set of generic utilities (Strings,Data structures,etc.).
Unlike other famous libraries, xtklib makes full use of all features of C++ like RTTI, Templates, Exceptions thus obtaining a strongly object-oriented design with a Java-like sensation.
The library is composed by two main modules: "Base" and "Widgets". The target operating systems are Windows and Unix(Linux and BSD in primis) with a plan to move also towards other systems.
Main features:
- Use of modern C++ - use of many powerfull features offered by modern C++ like exceptions,RTTI,templates and namespaces allows faster development,improves code readability,and reduces programming errors.
- Strong Object-Oriented design - designed to meet requirements of modern software industry: modularity, low coupling, high cohesion,information hiding. Design patterns and advanced class hierarchies are extensively used in all the library.
- Ease of use - Clean and intuitive programming interface with a Java-like sensation.
- Complete - Features supported includes:
- Basic services: Thread, Synchronization, Filesystem access, Processes, Networking.
- Advanced services: I/O Streams, Logging.
- Debugging tools: Stack tracing, Memory Leak detection.
- Gui widgets (Work in progress): Windows,Frames,Layout managers,common controls,advanced controls.
- Generic utilities: complete data structures framework, String class with unicode support.
- Full unicode support: native support to unicode, conversion to/from different charsets.
- And many others: the list is too much long to enumerate all minor but extremely usefull features.
- Cross Platform - Supports various systems and compilers.
- XTKlib is known to work under:
- Windows XP (x86)
- Visual C++ versions 7.1, 8.0
- MinGW32
- Linux (x86, x86_64)
- GCC 3.4
- Compatibility with other platforms and compilers are not excluded.(If you can compile/use xtklib with a non listed compiler/platform let us know about that, thanks)
- Fast - Although performance are not the main goal of this library (exceptions and RTTI have a tradeoff in this meaning), code agility and execution speed are often taken in consideration during development, thus leaving a performance advantage compared to interpreted programming languages(eg. Java,C#) or scripting languages(eg. Python,Ruby,Perl).
Enhancements:
- This is the first release with a working "Widgets" module, although it has only basic features.
- This release is provided for testing and development only.
PearPC 0.4
PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems. more>>
This release fixes an ugly partition mapping bug which prevented PearPC to boot OpenDarwin. But the fix might cause regressions: so if your image is no longer booting and you can compile pearpc yourself, please talk to the pearpc-devel mailing list.
Installation:
-Get the Mandrake Installations CDs from a near mirror.
-Read the getting started document first.
-Join the club.
-Make sure you have configured with a big harddisk (3 GiB should do) and a CDROM with the Mandrake 9.1 PPC CD1 inserted. Select a 15 bit video mode. (ppc_start_resolution to 1, 4 or 7)
-Boot and you should get the yaboot menu.
-Press enter and wait.
-At some point, a graphical installer will show up.
-I wont partition your disk for you so you have to do it on your own
create 2 partitions: Apple bootstrap and a Linux onecontinue install.
It will ask you to insert another CD. Click "Change CD" and choose a different .iso or simply insert a different CD. Continue.
-Something bad may happen in the end of the install. Nevermind.
While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).
Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)
Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)
A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).
Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Dont rely on benchmarks made in the client.
PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.
No Altivec support yet but being worked on.
No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.
