Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting, shell programming, 2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, and embedded scripting. C/Ch/C++ allow users to use one language, anywhere and everywhere, for any programming tasks. Ch is the solution for:
- Embedded Scripting
- Enterprise
- Academic
- Plotting and Numerical Computing
C++ is C plus plus minus. Ch is C plus (Ch = C+). Ch is a C interpreter. Ch is C with classes and high-level extensions. Ch is a superset of C. Note that C++ is no longer a superset of C. For example, VLA and IEEE floating-point arithmetic in C are not supported in C++.
C is for low-level system programming and embedded systems; C++ for large-scale projects. Ch is optimal for platform-independent scripting in numerical computing and visualization, rapid application development, Web programming and plotting, embedded scripting, shell programming and integration with legacy systems.
Like C++, Ch is designed to be a superset of C, which means a C program can run in Ch without modification. Unlike C++ which is designed for serious professional programmers (elite), Ch is designed for both novice beginners with no computer experience (average Joe and John) as well as experienced programmers.

Standard Portable Library is a pointer friendly C/C++ STL substitute. The API is similar to Java or .NET and includes common data structures, networking, and database support.

xmmstcl lets you control XMMS playback, skip, pause, change the playlist, change skins, and do everything else provided by the xmms_remote_* methods, which is almost everything from the standard user interface.

xmmstcl plugin also has some things not available there, such as "XMMS onchange" which lets your Tcl/Tk application know when something happens in the player. The companion "TkPlayer" has samples for the most important functions and will keep XMMS busy by generating random playlists with songs that you havent heard in a while.

GridMPI is a new open-source free-software implementation of the standard MPI (Message Passing Interface) library designed for the Grid. GridMPI project enables unmodified applications to run on cluster computers distributed across the Grid environment.
GridMPI team found that it is feasible to connect cluster computers and to run ordinary scientific applications in distance upto 500 miles. Simple experiment has shown that most MPI benchmarks scale fine upto 20 millisecond round-trip latency which corresponds to about 500 miles in distance, when the clusters are connected by fast 1 to 10 Gbps networks. 500 miles covers the major cities between Tokyo--Osaka in Japan.
Thus, applications which are too large to run on a local cluster should run on multiple clusters in the Grid environment with acceptable performance. However, it is only feasible when using an efficient MPI implementation [1]. Existing implementations are not efficient enough mainly because of the two reasons: their focus on security features and TCP performance problems.
GridMPI skips security layers assuming dedicated secure links. The institutes housing large clusters tend to have their own networks to connect to other institutes in most cases. GridMPI so focuses on the performance on TCP. Since existing implementations are in most cases designed for MPP machines and recently clusters with special hardware, their performance on TCP with Ethernet is not optimal.
Also TCP performance itself is not optimal for the work load of the MPI traffic. In addition, support for heterogeneous combinations of computers of the existing MPI implementations is not satisfactory. Thus, GridMPI is designed and implemented from the scratch. GridMPI is carefully coded and tested with heterogeneity in mind.
Main features:
- Full conformance to the standard: GridMPI passes 100% of the functional tests of the large test suites from ANL and Intel (MPI-1.2 level).
- Full heterogeneity support: GridMPI is fully tested with combinations of processors of 32bit/64bit and big/little-endian.
- Primary support of TCP/IP and sockets: GridMPI is written from scratch and it is new and clean. It is efficient with sockets, and thus suitable for the Grid as well as ordinary Ethernet-based clusters.
- Cooperation with Grid job submission: GridMPI can be used with Globus, Unicore, tool from NAREGI project, etc.
- Checkpointing support: GridMPI supports checkpointing on Linux/IA32 platforms to restart long-running applications from failure.
- Vendor MPI support: GridMPI supports IBM-MPI, Fujitsu-Solaris-MPI, Intel-MPI, and any MPICH-based MPI for clusters with special communication hardware.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes were made.

nsmcrypt is an AOLserver module and standard Tcl library that implements an interface to the mcrypt library (libmcrypt).
It supports cipher algorithms (such as blowfish, des, or rijndael-256), cipher modes (such as cbc, cfb, ncfb, or stream), and also supports sharing with nsv_* commands. This project was tested with AOLserver 3.4.x and 4.0.x and Tcl 8.4.
Enhancements:
- An interface to the standard Tcl language was added as the nsmcrypt package.

TCB::Library provides a database-backed book library package for DBIx::Frame.

TCB::Library is a DBIx::Frame object written to keep track of library books at the TCB Group at UIUC.

It provides a Web interface for adding books to the library, for users to check out and return them, and for reminder messages to be sent out periodically to list what books are checked out.

This is actually a fairly basic function of research groups, but doesnt have a standard software package.

GOto is a LDAP-based diskless client software.
GOto provides a set of scripts to create a Debian-based boot image for diskless operating clients.
The clients are fully configurable through LDAP and boot using PXE or BOOTP. Theres support for audio, removable media, and USB devices.
Clients can act as a print/scanserver.
Enhancements:
- Added english version of the documentation (scheiter@gonicus.de)
- English boot messages added
- Fixed german kernel messages to contain only german strings
- English kernel messages added
- Added support for automatically choosing the xserver with lowest
- load (AUTO parameter)
- Added xdmping package from xdmchooser
- (http://frmb.home.cern.ch/frmb/xdmchoose.html)
- Updated LDAP schema to keep new terminal server class
- Removed nvi start script from standard bootup
- Added fixed XFree86 binary to avoid closing sessions all 49 days
