Evaluation of a Pentium PC for use as an Ethernet Bridge
نویسنده
چکیده
This technical report describes the construction of an inexpensive Ethernet Bridge built from an obsolete Pentium PC (IBM PC 300GL Pentium 166MMX ) and Ethernet cards. The report outlines a simple procedure for estimating the latency of the bridge. Results are presented for the timestamping accuracy of the bridge, the average latency and FreeBSD ping characteristics. The bridge can be used as a traffic shaper by installing FreeBSD's dummynet module. KeywordsEthernet Bridge, Dummynet, Ping, Latency, CAIA

Development and Practical Application of a Lifetime Management System for Prestressed Concrete Bridges
A practical Bridge Management System has been developed by the author, which is referred to as the Japanese Bridge Management System (J-BMS) for existing concrete bridges. This paper introduces a newly developed bridge management system for the prestressed concrete (PC) bridges (J-BMS PC version) which is integrated with the PC bridge rating expert system (PC-BREX). The proposed system is able ...
متن کاملScalability of a tera-scale linux-based clusters for parallel ab initio molecular dynamics applications
KISTI supercomputing center has initiated a TeraCluster project to build a linux-based cluster with tera-flops performance. The main goal of the project is to provide a resources composed of PC clusters that meet the level of computing power required by the grand challenge applications in Korea. In the beginning of 2002, we have built a prototype of TeraCluster with 128 computing nodes, Phase-I...
متن کاملApplication of J-BMS to Performance Evaluation and Remaining Life Prediction of an Existing RC Bridge
This paper describes a method of performance evaluation and remaining life prediction for an aged reinforced concrete (RC) T-girder bridge by J-BMS RC version via close visual inspection data, and also verifies the assessment results obtained as outputs from the Bridge Rating Expert System (RC-BREX) which is a subsystem of the J-BMS, to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The Bridge Manag...
متن کاملA PCI-SCI Bridge for Building a PC Cluster with Distributed Shared Memory
In 1995, the SMiLE (Shared Memory in a LAN-like Environment) project at LRR-TUM started to set up a SCIbased PC cluster with distributed shared memory (DSM). This system will serve as a platform for experimental research and investigations into the efficient use of a DSM parallel machine. For this reason, we decided to develop and implement our own PCI-SCI bridge, which is targeted to plug into...

Background Understanding and addressing the needs of frail patients has been identified as an important strategy by the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA). Primary care (PC) providers are in a key position to aid in the identification of, and response to frailty as part of routine care. Unlike singular chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension which garner a disease-based appr...
