Subject: DWCS - A New Real-Time Linux Scheduler
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 08:53:01 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is to announce a new kernel-loadable module that replaces the
default Linux scheduler with a real-time scheduler known as Dynamic
Window-Constrained Scheduling (DWCS, for short).
A patch file is provided for Linux 2.2.7 (different versions of Linux
will be supported in the future).
You can checkout the software at
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~west/dwcs.html
Officially, this software is the intellectual property of the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Right now, I have no problems with anyone
playing with it and I really encourage you to use it, but please don't
use it for commercial gain.
- - Rich West.
Some background:
DWCS stands for Dynamic Window-Constrained Scheduling. Originally,
DWCS was designed to be a network packet scheduler, that limited the
number of late or lost packets over finite numbers of consecutive
packets in loss-tolerant and/or delay-constrained , heterogeneous
traffic streams. For example, virtual environments, tele-medicine, and
real-time multimedia applications (including video-on-demand and
streamed audio) can tolerate a certain fraction of late or lost
information, without any noticeable degradation in the quality of
playback at the receiver. However, it is important that such
applications do not suffer losses at certain points in time, even
though they can tolerate a certain fraction of information being
lost. For most loss-tolerant applications, there is usually a
restriction on the number of consecutive packet losses that are
acceptable. For example, losing a series of consecutive packets from
an audio stream might result in the loss of a complete section of
audio, rather than merely a reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio. A
suitable performance measure in this case is a windowed loss-rate,
i.e. loss-rate constrained over a finite range, or window, of
consecutive packets. More precisely, an application might tolerate x
packet losses for every y arrivals at the various service points
across a network. Any service discipline attempting to meet these
requirements must ensure that the number of violations to the
loss-tolerance specification is minimized (if not zero) across the
whole stream. As a packet scheduler, DWCS attempts to meet windowed
loss-rates for multiple packet streams, each with their own
performance objectives.
More recently, we have applied DWCS to scheduling processes (and threads)
for execution on available CPUs of a host machine. In its current
incarnation as a CPU scheduler, DWCS guarantees that no more than x
deadlines are missed every y deadlines, for a given process (or thread).

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
SPY is a LAN Protocol Analyzer running on UNIX platforms. It has a
built-in interface to capture LAN traffic via a network interface.
This capture facility supports Ethernet, FDDI, SLIP/CSLIP, PPP and
PLIP. SPY also provides a so called User Capture Interface (UCI),
where own programs can feed SPY with their packets.
Of course, captured data can be stored to files in binary format for
later analysis. The capture facility provides prefilters on the MAC
and IP layer (this does not mean, that SPY only supports IP networks).
The current release V3.1.21 supports Linux on Intel and Sparc platforms.
More will follow.

Subject: pnf-0.41 - Personal News Fetcher
Date: Sat, 14 Aug 1999 09:21:07 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
PNF is a suck-like tool, written in perl, to get news articles
for a small news spool. Version 0.3 came out late summer of 1997.
Since then a number of new features have been added and general
improvements made.
- From the WHATSNEW file:
What's new in version 0.41.
Code and documentation for a relatively easy scheme to permit posting
on your local INN server while offline, then unattended reposting of the
articles on your remote server. This is the main reason for 0.41. Some
other documentational improvements.
What's new in version 0.4.
Documentation! Actual .pods for pnf and some support utilities.
Persistent 'seen' hash. PNF can now remember articles it has seen in
different runs, giving a 'history' effect. Handy for re-runs and runs
to different news servers.
Better eval of killfiles (and filters). Syntax restrictions disappear
thereby.
The feature to end all features, filtering. You can write arbitrary
perl code that sees the whole article to make filtering decisions.
A mondo spam filter based on Jeremy Nixon's CleanFeed is included.
Replacement of non-(son of)rfc1036 or iso8859 characters in articles.
Your text based newsreader is finally safe from getting clobbered by
losing news software.
User specifiable timeout value.
Bug fixes.
PNF version 0.41 and further documentation on its features is available
at
http://home1.gte.net/jrs/pnf/
Questions and comments about PNF should be directed to:
jrsproj@newsguy.com
- From the README:
[...]
PNF was a semi-regularly tended collection of features for its
environment: Linux, INN controlling a small spool for one user and a
dial-up 28800 connection. Late in the fall of 1996, PNF began to look
like a way to repay in kind our software community with a contribution
of my own, and dare I say it, gain fame and glory, or perhaps notoriety
and opprobrium, if only its existence could be justified. Therefore, of
course, more features were added.
PNF now does more or less what suck does, plus some other things that
may
give it reason to exist beyond its current home. It can send articles
directly to an NNTP server through IHAVE, avoiding intermediate storing
and batching. It can pipe an rnews batch to a program, say,
pnews_expand
from Jim Buchanan's pnews package, again avoiding storing. [...]
Finally, and most telling I think, it's written in Perl! :-)

I'm happy to announce
Dancing X - a rendered animated linux logo (dancing linux series)
The rendered scene shows a nice linux logo in metal theme
with the X turning in the background.
The animation is fluent and has a black background.
I think, itīs an excellent eyecatcher on any box. :)
=============================================================
Format: *.fli movie
Resolution: 320*200, 8bit color
120 frames (20 fps)
Rendertime: 7 hours hours on a P133 (well, no glass this time :)

Subject: COMMERCIAL: LinkScan 5.5 has new easy installation process

Reply-To: ken@elsop.com
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
San Jose, CA, August 10, 1999. Electronic Software Publishing
Corporation (Elsop) introduces LinkScan version 5.5.
LinkScan is the industrial strength link checking and website
management tool for Unix, Linux, Windows 98 and Windows NT operating
systems. It is the most accurate, fastest and most scalable product
available and it is highly customizable. It also does HTML validation.
LinkScan creates two types of publication quality SiteMaps and it is
professionally supported.
LinkScan for Window's Graphical User Interface has been
greatly enhanced to simplify installation and configuration.
The user may also check websites on remote servers from their
own PC which eliminates the need for telnet or shell access.
Users without direct login access to their production server
can analyze their website remotely from the comfort of their
own workstation.
Elsop provides a basic HTTP server, LinkScan Server, which is
automatically installed and configured on the user's PC. Users
may also elect to integrate LinkScan with an existing server.
Users may now check their CGI's, SSI's and dynamic pages on their
own PC with the LinkScan Server. LinkScan Server may also be used
to support the development of dynamic pages (e.g. CGI scripts) on
the local workstation.
The Progress Window provides enhanced visual feedback about
the scan as it proceeds. It now displays the starting parameters,
internal and external links found, internal and external links
checked, orphan files found and elapsed time. The Progress Window
also displays the status of every link checked.
More about the LinkScan Server
The LinkScan Server is a small, easy-to-configure, HTTP compliant
webserver. It enables interactive query and reporting
capabilities from the LinkScan database via a standard web browser
interface. However, it avoids the complexity of installing and
configuring a full featured webserver on a desktop computer.
LinkScan Server supports a surprisingly large number of features
found in more complex products, but with the emphasis on simplicity.
LinkScan does more than other Window's based checkers
LinkScan checks websites through either the file system or the
web server. Both processes are necessary. The file system process
is ten times faster than the server process and it enables LinkScan
to identify orphan files. Checking links through the web server
enables LinkScan to check active elements such as CGI's, image maps,
external links and Server Side Includes. Having both capabilities also
enables the user to mirror their production server on either their
workstation and/or a development server.
Some of LinkScan performance features include:
Benchmarked at over 40,000 links checked per hour
Can easily check websites with 50,000 or more external links
Quickly tests sites with over 250,000 pages
Multi-threaded processing can check over 60 links concurrently
Unique blend of File System & HTTP navigation for link testing
Scalable to any size web site and multiple sites of any size
Support of server aliases and server redirections
Facility for web access via a Proxy Server
Analyze dynamic pages created by CGIs, ASPs, and RDBMSs
Smart Probing of remote links for ultra-high accuracy
History of problem links helps avoid over testing external links
Control features for reduced processing of duplicate links
Efficient interactive processing produces reports rapidly
LinkScan is being used by such large and diverse organizations as Sun
Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, the United States Department of Defense,
the Ford Motor Company, NASA, Ericsson, KPMG and the White House.
LinkScan operates on all Unix Servers (including AIX, BSDI, FreeBSD,
Digital Unix, HP/UX, IRIX, Linux, and SunOS/Solaris flavors),
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 with Perl 5. Free fully functional
evaluation copies of LinkScan 5.5 may be downloaded from the
company's website at: http://www.elsop.com/
LinkScan Server Version 5.5 is a free upgrade to owners of
any version from 4.0 to 5.4.

to keep the community thriving. I need lots of help from the community
if this is to be a reality. Please view the homepage
(http://students.vassar.edu/~jajohnst/) for more information about how
we can help each other.

A mailing list is now available for PPDD.
ppdd@linux01.gwdg.de
All interested parties are invited to join.
Just send a message with the single word "subscribe"
(without the quotation marks) in the body of the message.
If you feel you don't want to announce to the World that you are
a ppdd user then please mail me directly.
PPDD is an encrypted device driver for Linux. It creates a device
which looks like a disc partition on which you can then create an ext2
filesystem.
The underlying data storage can be a file on a normal filesystem or a
complete disc partition. All data written to this file or partition is
encrypted using the blowfish algorithm.
The driver concept also allows the root filesystem and the swap device
to be encrypted. In effect this means that with the exception of a
kernel and a small initial read-only ram-disc image, everything on disc
is encrypted.
The latest revision is 0.9 and supports the late 2.0 series and the
early 2.2 series of Linux kernels up to 2.2.9. More recent kernels
in the 2.2 series should be OK but I have not verified that.
It has been designed so that anyone with reasonable Linux competence
can install and use it.
So far only the Intel-86 architecture is supported.
