X Hardware Monitor is a hardware monitor that shows indicators for temperature, voltage, fan speed etc, of a running system with a graphical panel.

The default configuration allows to monitor up to 3 temperatures, 3 fan speeds and 6 voltages. This tool is more particularly adequate for bi-processor systems.

Hardware Monitor is a multi-purpose, beautiful system-monitoring applet.
The Hardware Monitor applet is an applet for the GNOME panel which tries to be a beautiful all-around solution to system monitoring. It also strives to be user-friendly and generally nice and sensible, integrating pleasantly with the rest of your GNOME desktop.
Includes different viewers, including a flame effect, allows multiple devices to be monitored in the samme applet, uses smooth updating, polished graphs, clean HIG-compliant interface.
Main features:
- A graphical view where each monitor is represented by a (time, measurement) colored curve
- A bar-plot view with a horizontal bar per monitor
- A column view with a column (time, measurement) diagram for each monitor
- A textual view which simply lists the monitors and the currently measured values
- A flame view which produces spiffy flames, the sizes of which are determined by the values of the monitored device
And the applet supports monitoring the following hardware characteristics:
- CPU usage (all CPUs, or one at the time) - niced background processes such as SETI@home are automatically ignored
- Memory usage - cache and buffers are automatically ignored
- Swap usage
- Load average
- Disk usage (or disk space free)
- Network throughput (Ethernet, wireless, modem, serial link), either incoming or outgoing or both
- Temperatures from internal sensors (e.g. system board and CPU temperatures)
- Fan speeds from internal sensors

Storage Resource Broker is client-server middleware that provides a uniform interface for connecting to heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessing replicated data sets.
SRB, in conjunction with the Metadata Catalog (MCAT), provides a way to access data sets and resources based on their attributes and/or logical names rather than their names or physical locations.
Starting with SRB 2.1.1 we now have an install script, install.pl, that can do a complete Postgres, MCAT and SRB installation. See README.MCAT.INSTALL. With SRB 3.0.0, this script can run on Solaris too, as well as the original Linux and Mac OS X.
The SEA authentication system is no longer recommended; for the secure authentication use either the ENCRYPT1 form of MDAS_AUTH authentication, or GSI. It should be noted that if the SEA authentication scheme is to be used and if the SEA library (libsea.a) does not already exist on your build platform, the SEA software that can be downloaded at the
URL must be built first.
1) Build configuration.
This version uses the configure script to configure the build. Most of the configurable parameters for building the SRB server and client can be configured using the "./configure" script. Run "./configure --help" for more information.
All configurable parameters for building the SRB server and the client library, including those set by the configure script, are defined in the mk/mk.config.in file. (The configure script automatically generates a third file, mk/mk.config, using mk/mk.config.in as a
template.)
Those parameters that cannot be modified via the configure script (because flags for those parameters have not yet been implemented) are set by directly editing the mk/mk.config.in file prior to running "./configure". Comments in the mk/mk.config.in file make it clear whether or not a particular parameter can be set through the configure
script, and if so, how to do so.
NOTE: The configure script does a number of self tests before the configuration is carried out. One of the test it does is the compiler test which it assumes "gcc" as the default compiler. If "gcc" is not installed or if the test of "gcc" failed (which happened on an AIX platform), the configure script should be re-run with the env variable CC set to cc or other compilers. This will override the default in the compiler test.
If the configure script still failed, do the following:
a) cd SRB2_0_0rel
b) ./config.rescue
c) edit the mk/mk.config file
2) Configure examples
a) Non-MCAT-enabled server and client, type in
configure
This will configure the mk.config file to build a non-MCAT enabled
server and client with the default settings.
b) Non-MCAT-enabled server and client with java enabled, type in
configure --enable-javagui=yes --enable-jdkhome=/usr/local/apps/jdk1.4.1
where /usr/local/apps/jdk1.4.1 is the directory where the JAVA JDK 1.4.1
is installed.
c) MCAT-enabled server with Oracle 8.1.5 MCAT, type in
configure --enable-oramcat --enable-oraver=815
--enable-orahome=/usr/local/apps/oracle/product/8.1.7
where /usr/local/apps/oracle/product/8.1.7 is the Oracle home
directory.
2) Parameters in the mk/mk.config file
The SRB architecture supports multiple SRB servers running on various hosts. Each SRB server may be built with different options, as set by the configure script and/or defined in the mk/mk.config.in file. For example, the SRB server on host A may include the driver for accessing HPSS and the SRB server on host B may include the driver for accessing the Lobj stored in DB2, etc.
The parameters are self-explanatory through the comments given in this file. Some of the more important parameters are discussed below:
installDir - The absolute path of the SRB install directory.
PORTNAME - The OS platform of this SRB port. Currently, the SRB software runs on 8 platforms. i.e., valid PORTNAMEs are :
PORTNAME_solaris, PORTNAME_sunos, PORTNAME_linux, PORTNAME_osx,
PORTNAME_aix, PORTNAME_alpha, PORTNAME_c90 and PORTNAME_sgi.
SRB_LARGEFILE64 - defines whether the 64 bit file size is supported by the underlining driver of this SRB server. Current, 64 bit file size is supported by the ORTNAME_solaris, PORTNAME_aix, PORTNAME_linux and PORTNAME_c90 platforms.
ORAMCAT - defines that this SRB server being built is MDAS enabled and the MCAT is stored in Oracle DBMS. Normally, only one SRB server is MDAS enabled.
DB2MCAT - defines that this SRB server being built is MDAS enabled and the MCAT is stored in Oracle DBMS. Normally, only one SRB server is MDAS enabled.
NOTE : Both ORAMCAT and DB2MCAT cannot be defined at the same time.
ADDR_64BIT - defines whether to compile for 64 bits address. This option has only been tested for the the Solaris and Linux platforms.
PARA_OPR - defines whether this SRB server support parallel operation API.
MDAS_AUTH - defines whether the plain text and encrypted password MDAS authorization scheme will be supported. If used, the user/passwd pair registered with the MDAS catalog will be used to authenticate a user. Comment it out if the SRB server does not support MDAS authorization.
NOTE : A server can be built to support either MDAS_AUTH (plain or encrypted (ENCRYPT1)) or GSI_AUTH, or both.
SEA_AUTH - defines whether SEA authorization scheme will be supported. The software can be configured to support both SEA_AUTH and MDAS_AUTH. (SEA is no longer recommended.)
LIB_SEA - Is needed only if SEA_AUTH is defined. LIB_SEA specifies where the SEA client library is located.
GSI_AUTH - defines whether the GSI authentication scheme is supported. This is set when --enable-gsi-auth is included on the configure line.
NOTE : A server can be built to support either MDAS_AUTH or GSI_AUTH,
or both.
LIB_GSI_AUTH - Set by configure when --enable-gsi-auth is included (i.e. GSI_AUTH is defined). LIB_GSI_AUTH specifies where the GSI client libraries are located. The optional configure --enable-globus-location=path can also be used specify the parent
location of the GSI libaries, and will cause LIB_GSI_AUTH to be adjusted.
JAVA_GUI and javaDir - JAVA_GUI defines whether the srbBrowser should be built. javaDir specifies the directory where the JDK software is installed. (e.g. /usr/local/apps/Java). See README.srbBrowser for more details.
3) "cd" to the main SRB directory and type in "gmake clean" and then "gmake" to make the SRB software. The Makefile contains various options to make and clean all or a subset of the build.
- gmake --- build all.
- gmake clean --- clean all.
- gmake srb --- build only the SRB server and client.
- gmake clean_srb --- clean only the SRB server and client.
- gmake util --- build only the utilities (S commands). See README.utilities for more details.
- gmake clean_util --- clean only the utilities.
- gmake browser - build only the java srbBrowser GUI. See README.srbBrowser for more details.
- gmake clean_browser - clean only the java srbBrowser.
4) (Optional) Type in "gmake install" to install the software in the $(installDir) directory. This procedure installs the following modules in the $(installDir) directory:
bin/runsrb - The script that starts the SRB
bin/srbMaster2_0_0 - The frontend server.
bin/srbServer - The backend server (forked by the srbMaster1_0 for each client connection).
bin/libSrbClient.a - The client library.
data/hostAuthConfig - The optional (needed only if HOST_BASED_AUTH in the mk.config file is set) host based authorization configuration file.
data/mcatHost - This file identifies the host on which the MCAT enabled SRB server is running.
data/hostConfig - This is the optional SRB host configuration file. It is only needed when when you want to add aliases to your local hostName.
data/hpssCosConfig - This is the optional HPSS Class of Services configuration file. It is only needed if HPSS in the mk.config file is set.
data/hpssNodceAuth - The file contains authentication info for non-dce HPSS. It is only needed if the HPSS and NO_DCE flags in the mk.config file are set.
data/MdasConfig - The MDAS configuration file.
data/metadata.fkrel - This file defines the foreign key relationship between the MDAS catalog tables and is used internally by the SRB for query generation. This file should not be changed between releases.
data/LobjConfig - The database configuration file for the DB Large Object driver. Basically, it contains the userID and password for accessing each database server.
Enhancements:
- Three vulnerabilities that allow SRB users to read/write non-Vault files that are readable/writable by the the srbadmin user were fixed.
- A bug that causes the GridFTP driver to use the wrong credential to connect to GridFtp server was fixed.
- A file descriptor lock bug was fixed.
- Uploading files larger than 2 gigabytes into GridFtp resources now works.
- Timeout bugs that could arise when sending large numbers of files were fixed.
- A core dump problem for HPSS type resources involving parallel I/O on Linux servers was fixed.
- A new option -o was added to show collection ownership in SgetColl.

Hardware 4 Linux project contains a set of tools to report Linux-compatible hardware to hardware4linux.info.
Enhancements:
- This release anonymizes dmidecode output, collects OS version files instead of calling osinfo, collects audio codec files, adds a README, and collects PCI modules.

Hardware::Simulator is a Perl extension for Perl Hardware Descriptor Language.

SYNOPSIS

use Hardware::Simulator;

# NewSignal( perl_variable [, initial_value]);
# create a signal called $in_clk, give it an initial value of 1
NewSignal(my $in_clk,1);

# Repeater ( time_units , code_ref)
# every time_units, call the code reference, starting at the current time
Repeater ( 5, sub{if ( $in_clk==0) { $in_clk=1;} else { $in_clk=0;}});

# Responder ( [signal_name ... signal_name], code_ref );
# respond to any changes to signals by calling code reference.
# any time out_clk changes, print value of clock and simulation time.
Responder ( $out_clk, sub
{
my $time = SimTime();
print "out_clk = $out_clk. time=$timen";
});

# start processing of events and event scheduling.
EventLoop();

Hardware::Simulator ==> a Perl Hardware Descriptor Language

Hardware::Simulator is a lightweight version of VHDL or Verilog HDL. All of these languages were developed as means to describe hardware.

Hardware::Simulator was created as a means to quickly prototype a basic hardware design and simulate it. VHDL and Verilog are both restrictive in their own ways. Hardware::Simulator was created to quickly put something together as a "proof of concept", to show that a design concept would work or not. and then the design could be translated to VHDL or Verilog.

The problem that started all of this was designing a fifo for a video scaling asic. The chip used a buffer to store incoming video data. The asic read the buffer to generate the outgoing video image. We estimated how large we thought the buffer needed to be, but we wanted to confirm that our numbers were right by running simulations.

The problem was we needed to run hundreds of different simulations, given the permutations of input image formats, output image formats, and input/output clock frequencies. We also had text files containing valid formats and frequencies. A text file as input called for perl to manipulate, split, format, and extract the data properly.

This data then had to be translated onto the a HDL simulation. The problem was that there was no easy way to write a perl script that would simulate hardware, so the only solution was to have perl drive a Verilog simulator and pass all these parameters via command line parameters. so then verilog files had to be created, and the simulator had to be driven, and the end result was a lot of work to simulate a simple fifo.

Time contraints did not allow me to develop a HDL package for perl to solve the original problem, but I took it on in my spare time. and eventually Hardware::Simulator was born.

Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer is a Perl module that can split VHDL code into lexical tokens.

SYNOPSIS

use Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer;

# Open the file to get the VHDL code from
my $fh;
open $fh, new({ linesource => $fh });

# Dump all the tokens
my ($token, $type);
while( (($token, $type) = $lexer->get_next_token) && defined $token) {
print "# type = $type token=$tokenn";
}

Hardware::Vhdl::Lexer splits VHDL code into lexical tokens. To use it, you need to first create a lexer object, passing in something which will supply chunks of VHDL code to the lexer. Repeated calls to the get_next_token method of the lexer will then return VHDL tokens (in scalar context) or a token type code and the token (in list context). get_next_token returns undef when there are no more tokens to be read.

NB: in this documentation I refer to "lines" of VHDL code and "line" sources etc., but in fact the chunks of code dont have to be broken up at line-ends - they can be broken anywhere that isnt in the middle of a token. New-line characters just happen to be a simple and safe way to split up a file. You dont even have to split up the VHDL at all, you can pass in the whole thing as the first and only "line".

Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) is a portable and free desktop operating system aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1, while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.

Goals

The goals of the AROS project is it to create an OS which:

1. Is as compatible as possible with AmigaOS 3.1.
2. Can be ported to different kinds of hardware architectures and processors, such as x86, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc, HPPA and other.
3. Should be binary compatible on Amiga and source compatible on any other hardware.
4. Can run as a standalone version which boots directly from hard disk and as an emulation which opens a window on an existing OS to develop software and run Amiga and native applications at the same time.
5. Improves upon the functionality of AmigaOS.

To reach this goal, we use a number of techniques. First of all, we make heavy use of the Internet. You can participate in our project even if you can write only one single OS function. The most current version of the source is accessible 24 hours per day and patches can be merged into it at any time. A small database with open tasks makes sure work is not duplicated.

History

Some time back in the year 1993, the situation for the Amiga looked somewhat worse than usual and some Amiga fans got together and discussed what should be done to increase the acceptance of our beloved machine. Immediately the main reason for the missing success of the Amiga became clear: it was propagation, or rather the lack thereof. The Amiga should get a more widespread basis to make it more attractive for everyone to use and to develop for. So plans were made to reach this goal. One of the plans was to fix the bugs of the AmigaOS, another was to make it an modern operating system. The AOS project was born.

But exactly what was a bug? And how should the bugs be fixed? What are the features a so-called modern OS must have? And how should they be implemented into the AmigaOS?

Two years later, people were still arguing about this and not even one line of code had been written (or at least no one had ever seen that code). Discussions were still of the pattern where someone stated that "we must have ..." and someone answered "read the old mails" or "this is impossible to do, because ..." which was shortly followed by "youre wrong because ..." and so on.

In the winter of 1995, Aaron Digulla got fed up with this situation and posted an RFC (request for comments) to the AOS mailing list in which I asked what the minimal common ground might be. Several options were given and the conclusion was that almost everyone would like to see an open OS which is compatible to AmigaOS 3.1 (kickstart 40.68) on which further discussions could be based upon to see what is possible and what is not.

So the work began and AROS was born.
