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.

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).

The NSCL Data Acquisition system is a general purpose nuclear physics data acquisition system for small to medium scale nuclear physics experiments.
NSCL Data Acquisition System can be combined with NSCL SpecTcl to form a powerful online/offline data handling system. It is in use at several university labs and, of course, the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University.
Whats New in 8.1-pre4 Development Release:
- The way the experimental files work has been reorganized.
- Issues in controplush have been fixed.
- More hardware support has been added (preliminary VM-USB support).
Whats New in 8.0-01 Stable Release:
- Make event files readonly as they get finalized.
- Make ~stagearea/complete write protected except when it has to be.
- Fix up 2.6 build so that lib and include get installed... and can be cleaned.
- Fix a bunch of stuff with the 2.6 build that arises on make dist and building from the tarball. (mostly copying stuff from the 8.1 build files.
- Make sure the right compilers link the readout skels.
- Adjust the framework makefile so that template class implementations will get installed in the include directory to allow them to be used in application software.
- Ensure the SBS driver is identical to the 2.6 version of the drive in the 8.1 branch.

Attendance sheet is a simple script that will help you keep track of registrations for arbitrary sports activities that take place regularly.
The idea came from the problem our small group of amateur volleyball at our University faced. At the beginning the number of players was quite small and since many times we did not know each other well, we often ended up coming in 2 or 3 people.
Attendance-sheet helps to:
- see registered players who is coming and who is not
- make registered players to know each other better (if they are from different faculty or whatever), supported by photo, fullname, icq # and faculty

Pwman3 is a console based password management application. I wrote the original pwman over 4 years ago, just before going to university. Over the 4 years I spent in university, the code fell into disuse, and I pretty much abandoned it due to time constraints*. I had almost forgotten it. Until a few days ago I went searching the web for password management software I liked. I found none so I wrote my own. The exact same reason pwman1 was written.
There was a pwman2 but it was never released. The code never reached a stage that was releasable. I could have called this pwman2, but I already had a pwman2 subversion repository and I didnt want to mess with it, so I just bumped this one up to pwman3.
Pwman3 is written in python. Pwman3 uses sqlite for storage and all data is encrypted when it isnt being viewed on screen. To install pwman3, you need the following packages installed (for Debian, others may vary):
python-pysqlite2
python-crypto
python-celementtree
Source and binary packages can be acquired from the download page. Although I havent found any bugs in Pwman3 yet, I havent used it extensively, so there may be many lurking. You are advised to back up your passwords regularly.
Enhancements:
- A new PostgreSQL driver has been added.
- Support for exporting and importing lists of passwords is now available, so it is now possible to exchange passwords.
- There is also an experimental MySQL driver, though this is not fully supported as MySQL lacks INTERSECT, which is needed by pwman.

Tigerbooks project is a online book exchange.

Tigerbooks is an online book exchange designed for individual universities and colleges.

Students can post books for sale or browse for books to buy. Fulltext and ISBN searches are available.

There are other book exchange systems currently available. However, TigerBooks is an open source solution.

This means that it is freely available to any University or College that wishes to use it for its own students. Furthermore, any University or College can make contributions to the TigerBooks thus distributing its maintenance costs.

Maintenance costs are particularly important in academic realms as students are only at their institutions for the duration of their program. Being an open source solution means the Universities and Colleges do not have to worry about who will be maintaining TigerBooks in the years to come.


TigerBooks is a successful open source project and will see greater success in the future as it is distributed amongst Universities and Colleges. It is successful really for two reasons.

The first being that is meets the needs of students in exchanging their textbooks. The second is that it is open source and consequently is maintained by the open source community.

GNU CLISP is an ANSI Common Lisp implementation with an interpreter, compiler, debugger, object system (CLOS, MOP), sockets, fast bignums, and foreign language interface which runs on most UNIXes and Win32.
Common Lisp is a high-level, all-purpose, object-oriented, dynamic, functional programming language.
CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible, then of Karlsruhe University, and Michael Stoll, then of Munich University, both in Germany. GNU CLISP supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard plus many extensions.
CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS, MOP, a foreign language interface, i18n, regular expressions, a socket interface, and more. An X11 interface is available through CLX, Garnet and CLUE/CLIO. Command line editing is provided by readline. CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common Lisp packages.
CLISP runs on most Unix workstations (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX and others) and on other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only 4 MB of RAM.
CLISP is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL. You may distribute commercial proprietary applications compiled with CLISP, see file COPYRIGHT in the CLISP distribution.
The user interface comes in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian and Danish, and can be changed at run time.
Enhancements:
- The new libsvm module makes Support Vector Machines available in CLISP.
