LUDE: A Distributed Software Library
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerous software packages are being used and updated regularly on most computer systems. Installing all these software packages is a formidable task because each one has a different procedure for compiling or for placing the files required at run time. The LUDE (Logithèque Universitaire Distribuée et Extensible) software library is an organization for installing software packages, a set of tools to install and uninstall software packages and browse their documentation, and a number of FTP servers offering over 100 pre-installed freely redistributable software packages. It offers functionality and flexibility not available in existing systems.

A Hierarchical Super Peer Network for Distributed Artifacts
The transition from traditional paper libraries to digital libraries enables new strategies for the use and maintenance of artifact collections. Distributed software development can be regarded as a special case of digital library utilization, where developers or groups of developers are working on the same software geographically dispersed in time zones which might differ. We present a hierarc...
متن کاملCase studies on the development of ScaLAPACK and the NAG Numerical PVM Library
In this paper we look at the development of ScaLAPACK, a software library for dense and banded numerical linear algebra, and the NAG Numerical PVM Library, which includes software for dense and sparse linear algebra, quadrature, optimization and random number generation. Both libraries are aimed at distributed memory machines, including networks of workstations. The paper concentrates on the un...
متن کاملPerformance of Automatically Tuned Parallel Gmres(m) Method on Distributed Memory Machines
As for the presently available public parallel libraries are concerned, users have to set parameters, such as a selection of algorithms, an unrolling level, and a method of communication. These parameters depend on not only execution environment or hardware architecture but also a characteristic of the problems. Our primary goal is to solve two opposite requirements of reducing users parameters...
متن کاملManaging multiple collections, multiple languages, and multiple media in a distributed digital library
Managing the organizational and software complexity of a comprehensive digital library presents a significant challenge. Different library collections each have their own distinctive features. Different presentation languages have structural implications such as left-to-right writing order and text-only interfaces for the visually impaired. Different media involve different file formats, and—mo...
متن کاملRobust distributed software transactions for Haskell
This thesis motivates and develops a robust distributed Software Transactional Memory (STM) library for Haskell. Many real-life applications are distributed by nature. They either control geographically wide spread hardware resources or utilize redundant hardware components to minimize system failure. STM is an abstraction for synchronizing shared resources in concurrent applications. It helps ...
