Paderborn University BSP Library is a C-Library to support development of parallel algorithm based on the "Bulk-Synchronous-Parallel-Model".
The Library offers buffered asynchronous message-passing between the nodes, organized in supersteps. At the begin of a superstep the nodes receive all messages which has been sent in the previous superstep.
The PUB-Library supports in addition to send node-to-node messages other functions like broadcasts and parallel prefix operations with a set of nodes.
PUB offers functions for both message passing and remote memory access. Furthermore, some collective communication operations like broadcast and parallel prefix are also provided.
To become more flexible, PUB allows creating independent BSP objects each representing a virtual BSP computer. Goudreau et al.[GHL$^+$96] defined an interface for BSP libraries call ``BSP Worldwide Standard which is implemented in the Oxford BSP toolset[HDM97]. You can also use the BSP Worldwide Standard for programming with PUB (refer to Section 1.6).
A performance comparison with other communication libraries and some implementation details can be found in [BJOR99].
The PUB-Library is available for several parallel platforms. The generated library is specified by four configuration variables PUB_MACHINE (machine type), PUB_SYSTEM (operating system), PUB_COMMUNICATION (communication library) and PUB_MODE (e.g. debug).
Enhancements:
- This release adds numerous minor bugfixes.

Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment.

Weve added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have.

The server edition of BU Linux provides a modern, stable, and robust server platform suitable for long-term deployment in many roles throughout the university.

Supported Hardware

Currently, only i686-class machines are supported. This includes almost everything from Intels Pentium Pro on. AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems will work fine using their 32-bit mode. Watch for a 64-bit version later this summer.

Specific Notes on Server Applications

Mail Server:

BU Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac) includes three different choices of Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for your mail server. Each of these open source servers has its unique strengths, and you can install one or more and use the utility system-switch-mail to choose which is active.

The default is IBMs Postfix, which is designed from scratch to be secure and easily configurable. On a newly-installed BU Linux machine, Postfix is configured to exchange mail on the local machine and to send mail out to other systems, but not receive mail from the network. For this reason, outgoing mail from global BU accounts (those matching valid BU login names and with the proper UID) will appear to come from @bu.edu rather than @hostname.bu.edu. Local users (including system accounts) will retain the hostname, but without reconfiguration, any replies will bounce. Changing the system to accept mail is easy; see the BU Linux web site for details.

For the maximum flexibility and for compatibility with existing configurations (and with existing expertise), we also include the traditional standard Sendmail. And, if you have particular special needs, you may find that the new Exim MTA fits your situation best.

No matter which MTA you choose, please contact us if you need any assistance. With so many options available, the situation can be confusing, and its unfortunately easy for an accidentally misconfigured system to become a target for spam relayers. We have significant expertise at configuring both Postfix and Sendmail in a variety of situations, and will be glad to help.

FTP Server:

This release of BU Linux provides two options for FTP. The first is vsftpd, which is designed to be simple and secure. This is the most appropriate for almost all situations, but if you require more power and flexibility, we also include ProFTPd, which has many more options and a configuration syntax similar to that of the Apache web server.

Please also remember that FTP is an insecure protocol and that any passwords used travel over the network in plain text. For this reason, its best to avoid anything but anonymous FTP. For user-authenticated file transfer, use SSH and SFTP. (SFTP is provided by the OpenSSH server and enabled by default.)

Web Server:

The web server software included in BU Linux is the industry-standard Apache httpd. We also include PHP 4.3 and many other useful tools for building a web server.
If you need to provide authenticated access to web services to BU users, please contact us and we will provide you with our University-standard Weblogin module. This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.

Database Server:

BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.

Jabber is an instant messagings system (and a few other things but Ill forget about these for the moment), but it uses XML so its easy to create clients for it, and to link it in with other systems.

As well as that anyone can run a Jabber server, so youre school, university or office could have their own messaging system.

owl is a program to display electronic dictionaries. It uses the extensive markup language dicML.
Two dictionaries are currently available with this program: a huge English/German dictionary originally published by Technical University of Chemnitz, and a French/German dictionary written from scratch for dicML and therefore not as big as the first one.
Main features:
- support of the whole dicML standard
- available for all important operating systems
- user interface in English, German and French
- possibility to print
- for free and open source

ILIAS project is a platform for Web-based training.

It is being developed at the University of Cologne, in Germany, using PHP and MySQL.

It has been available since September 2000 as open software software under the GPL.

The systems core is an authoring tool for creating courses.

Other main components include personal desktops, a mail system, newsgroups, a group system, and system administration.

libgist provides a generalized search tree C++ library.
This directory contains the 2.0 release of the GiST C++ library. Please refer
to our WWW home page located at for updates on documentation and new releases.
libGiST is not public domain software. It is copyrighted by the University of California but may be used according to the licensing terms of the the copyright below.
Enhancements:
- Updates to a semi-fork of libgist 2.0.1tmp
- Now compiles OK with gcc 4+.

Campus Chat Server project is a chat server intended for use in the Cadiz University campus network.
Enhancements:
- hash_maps are now used instead of maps, so the cost of lookup or insertion is O(1) in the average case, instead of O(logn).
