Free fast 1.0 software for linux

Config::Fast is an extremely fast configuration file parser.

SYNOPSIS

# default config format is a space-separated file
company "Supercool, Inc."
support nobody@nowhere.com


# and then in Perl
use Config::Fast;

%cf = fastconfig;

print "Thanks for visiting $cf{company}!n";
print "Please contact $cf{support} for support.n";

This module is designed to provide an extremely lightweight way to parse moderately complex configuration files. As such, it exports a single function - fastconfig() - and does not provide any OO access methods. Still, it is fairly full-featured.

Heres how it works:

%cf = fastconfig($file, $delim);

Basically, the fastconfig() function returns a hash of keys and values based on the directives in your configuration file. By default, directives and values are separated by whitespace in the config file, but this can be easily changed with the delimiter argument (see below).

When the configuration file is read, its modification time is first checked and the results cached. On each call to fastconfig(), if the config file has been changed, then the file is reread. Otherwise, the cached results are returned automatically. This makes this module great for mod_perl modules and scripts, one of the primary reasons I wrote it. Simply include this at the top of your script or inside of your constructor function:

my %cf = fastconfig(/path/to/config/file.conf);

If the file argument is omitted, then fastconfig() looks for a file named $0.conf in the ../etc directory relative to the executable. For example, if you ran:

/usr/local/bin/myapp

Then fastconfig() will automatically look for:

/usr/local/etc/myapp.conf

This is great if youre really lazy and always in a hurry, like I am.

If this doesnt work for you, simply supply a filename manually. Note that filename generation does not work in mod_perl, so youll need to supply a filename manually.

FreeHA is designed to provide a free, portable, and easy to use (compared to alternatives) program to run nodes in a high availability cluster.

FreeHA will let you run a service (program), or group of services, on a computer, but have one or more others running in standby mode. The service can be whatever kind of demon or program you would normally run on a UNIX box.

When and if the service fails on the initial node, one of the standby servers will automatically start the service(s) running on itself. Because of this automatic and normally fast restarting of the service, this sort of configuration is called a "Highly Available" cluster/configuration. "Highly Available", or "High Availability" == H.A.

Aterm is designed to provide pleasing visual effects, while performing such a mundane function as terminal emulation under X.
Main features:
- fast pseudo-transparency, that does not consume any additional resources.
- optional off-focus fading of text - when aterm looses focus its contents is dimmed.
- NeXT-ish scrollbar
- integration with AfterStep window manager, allowing for aterm looks to be determined by AfterStep theme, and allowing aterm do things like semitransparent gradiented background, JPEG, PNG and other images used as background, and more.
Enhancements:
- This release includes fixes for pasting large (16k) amounts into aterm, the borderless option, and several other issues.

LinAl was designed to bring together C++ and FORTRAN. At the same time LinAl is supposed to be easy to use, fast, and reasonably safe.

LinAl library is based on STL techniques and uses the STL containers for the storage of matrix data and STL algorithms where feasible.

Low level, algebraic operators, linear solvers, and eigenvalue solvers are implemented, based on calls to BLAS, LAPACK, and CGSOLX.

At the same time LinAl is supposed to be easy to use, fast and, to a certain extent, type save. While certain compromises were made in the class layout and design, strong emphasis was put on simplicity and speed.

The library is based on STL techniques and uses STL containers for the storage of matrix data furthermore STL algorithms are used where feasible. Low level, algebraic operators as well as linear solvers and eigenvalue solvers are implemented, based on calls to BLAS, LAPACK and CGSOLX and LANCZOS. These packages can be found on netlib.

Interested? Fantastic, download the package, get them compiler hummin and see whats this all about. Problems? Thats what the mailing list is for. So what are you waiting for?

SimBar project is a fast and customizable dockbar for Linux.

SimBar is a fast and customizable dockbar. Allows the user to launch applications showing some eye-candy animation. It is written in c++ and wxWidgets and fits well in Gnome but works on most desktop environments. Does not require Compiz nor 3D acceleration.

myOS project is minimalistic GNU/Linux based system. Beside the main goal - OpenGL capable, Linux based system without X, I was also looking to make system small and fast as possible, with quick kernel boot and system loading time. By making system small really took care of both since it can run entirely from RAM making it very fast and responsive.

It is bare bones Linux system, stripped down of everything, but core necessary files to compile and run OpenGL/C code. It has simplified directory structure and cleaned up internal cross referencing, it starts up with and in total has only a single script. Linux kernel is 2.6.20, compiled with only essential drivers.
