This diploma thesis contains detailed design of high-performance cluster, primarely focused for parallel computing in Octave application. Each of component of this cluster is described along with instructions for installation and configuration. Cluster is based on GNU/Linux operating system and Message Parsing Interface. Design alllows implementation of this cluster in computers of schoolroom with active lessons.

Fault tolerance is essential in a production-grade service delivery network. One of the solution is build a clustered environment to keep system failure to a minimum. This thesis examines the use of high availability and load balancing services using open source tools in GNU/Linux. The thesis discusses some general technologies of high availability computing as virtualization, synchronization and mirroring. To build relatively cheap high availability clusters is suitable DRDB tool. DRDB is tool for build synchronized Linux block devices. This paper also examines Linux-HA project, Redhat Cluster Suite, LVS, etc. Content Delivery Networks (CDN) replicate content over several mirrored web servers strategically placed at various locations in order to deal with the flash crowds. A CDN has some combination a request-routing and replication mechanism. Thus CDNs offer fast and reliable applications and services by distributing content to cache servers located close to end-users. This work examines open-source CDNs Globule and CoralCDN and test performance of this CDNs in global deployment.

This work is engaged in access control mechanism in GNU/Linux operating systems. At first discretionary and mandatory access control are compared and examine basic technologies based on mandatory access control. More closely is focused on project SELinux, whose generation of new rules is explained. Within the thesis is made application for logging evaluation and for writing new Type Enforcement rules.

The work is given an analysis of Open Source Software (further referred as OSS), which allows use and create computer clusters. It explored the issue of clustering and construction of clusters. All installations, configuration and cluster management have been done on the operating system GNU / Linux. Presented OSS makes possible to compile a storage cluster, cluster with load distribution, cluster with high availability and computing cluster. Different types of benchmarks was theoretically analyzed, and practically used for measuring cluster’s performance. Results were compared with others, eg. the TOP500 list of the best clusters available online. Practical part of the work deals with comparing performance computing clusters. With several tens of computational nodes has been established cluster, where was installed package OpenMPI, which allows parallelization of calculations. Subsequently, tests were performed with the High Performance Linpack, which by calculation of linear equations provides total performance. Influence of the parallelization to algorithm PEA was also tested. To present practical usability, cluster has been tested by program John the Ripper, which serves to cracking users passwords. The work shall include the quantity of graphs clarifying the function and mainly showing the achieved results.

Tato práce se v první části zabývá představením technologií a nástrojů pro centrální správu a přihlašování uživatelů v GNU/Linux. Ukazuje využití adresářových služeb v síťové infrastruktuře, konkrétně služby NIS a její porovnání s dnes pravděpodobně nejrozšířenější adresářovou službou LDAP. Dále práce popisuje proces autentizace na klientských stanicích, konkrétně použití PAM a NSS a možné rozšíření celého systému zavedením cache díky démonu SSSD. Druhá část popisuje návrh a implementaci NIS provideru pro SSSD.

This master thesis discourses upon problems with automatic building and testing of network security solution AVG for Linux/FreeBSD on platforms GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. This work introduces AVG for Linux/FreeBSD and its usage.  Compilation and link are discussed from the source code to the distribution packages, which users can install on your computer. Also, the repository term was introduced, containing the information about their creation and usage. The part about AVG for Linux/FreeBSD testing discusses suitable  automatic testing proposals for this product and implementation of the best solutions. In the practical part, the testing tool was developed. AVG for Linux/FreeBSD was tested using the test tool and implemented test set.

The object of this mater’s thesis is to analyze current situation of information system at municipal office of Blansko and to review it. Subsequently to suggest other possible solutions and improvements. Formulation of economic and other advantages and possible disadvantages and problems that can occur in case of implementation of other OpenSource components.

Während sich der Chemnitzer Linux-Tag über die vergangenen fünf Jahre mit jedem Mal in der Zahl der Aussteller, Helfer und Gäste steigerte, wuchs auch in jedem Jahr das Tagungsnetzwerk. Den Informatikern wird häufig nachgesagt, daß sie wenig dokumentieren würden. Dieses Vorurteil traf auch für das Netzwerk der vergangenen Chemnitzer Linux-Tage zu. Unter anderem, um diesem Mißstand abzuhelfen, haben wir uns bemüht, möglichst detailliert Informationen über Konzept, eingesetzte Technologieen und konkrete Konfiguration des Tagungsnetzwerks des Chemnitzer Linux-Tags 2004 zusammenzutragen.
