Logical Volume Management, auf kommerziellen UNIX-System (z.B. AIX, HP-UX) schon seit Jahren im Einsatz, ist mittlerweile auch fuer Linux verfuegbar. Der Vortrag bietet eine Einfuehrung in LVM unter Linux, einen Ueberblick ueber die aktuelle LVM-Technologie auf Linux sowie deren Einsatz.

Unterlagen zu einem Vortrag im Rahmen des 4. Chemnitzer Linux-Tages. Neben einem Überblick über Struktur und Eigenschaften wird vor allem auf die Konzepte eingegangen. Den Abschluß bildet die Darstellung von Eigenschaften und Prinzipien grafischer Oberflächen. Zielgruppe dieses Vortrags sind Neueinsteiger und Umsteiger.

er Erfolg eines Betriebssystems hängt auch davon ab, wie gut Personen, die der englischen Sprache nicht mächtig sind, mit ihm umgehen können. Ich möchte darüber informieren, wie gut verschiedene Sprachen und Schriften unterstüzt werden. Darüber hinaus möchte ich aufzeigen, wo Probleme auftreten können und wie man sich helfen kann. Auch wenn man vielleicht selbst mit einem englischen Linux zufrieden ist, sollte man wissen, wie man z.B. auch dem einen oder anderen Austauschstudenten das Arbeiten mit Linux erleichtern kann.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, California / The difficulty of incorporating custom real-time processing into a conventional telemetry system frustrates many design engineers. Custom algorithms such as data compression/conversion, software decommutation, signal processing or sensitive defense related algorithms, are often executed on expensive and time-consuming mainframe computers during post-processing. The cost to implement such algorithms on real-time hardware is greater, because programming for such hardware is usually done in assembly language or microcode, resulting in: * The need for specially trained software specialists * Long and often unpredictable development time * Poor maintainability * Non-portability to new applications or hardware. This paper presents an alternative to host-based, post-processing telemetry systems. The Loral System 500 offers an easy to use, high-level language programming environment that couples real-time performance with fast development time, portability and easy maintenance. Targeted to Weltek's XL-Serles 32 and 64 bit floating point processors, delivering 20 MFLOPS peak performance, the environment transparently integrates the C programming environment with a parallel date-flow telemetry processing architecture. Supporting automatic human interface generation, symbolic high-level debugging and a complete floating point math library the System 500 programming environment extends to parallel execution transparently. It handles process scheduling, memory management and data conversion automatically. Configured to run under UNIX, the system's development environment is powerful and portable. The platform can be migrated to PC's and other hosts, facilitating eventual integration with an array of standard off-the-shelf tools.

Ce travail présente un modèle de noyau de communication pour les systèmes répartis. Son architecture, basée sur le modèle de CSP proposé par HOARE, a été définie pour un type particulier de système, les systèmes «temps réel» répartis sur un réseau local. Il s'agit donc d'un modèle adapté à une classe précise d'application, à l'opposé de la plupart des études qui traitent des noyaux de systèmes répartis généraux. Ce noyau est basé sur deux classes d'objets: les processus «normaux» pour exprimer les traitements séquentiels et de processus appelés canaux pour implémenter à la fois la communication et la synchronisation. Une implémentation de ce noyau a été réalisée sur UNIX

Modelling is an important technique in the comprehension and management of complex systems. Queueing network models capture most relevant information from computer system and network behaviour. The construction and resolution of these models is constrained by many factors. Approximations contain detail lost for exact solution and/or provide results at lower cost than simulation. Information at the resource and interactive command level is gathered with monitors under ULTRIX'. Validation studies indicate central processor service times are highly variable on the system. More pessimistic predictions assuming this variability are in part verified by observation. The utility of the Generalised Exponential (GE) as a distribution parameterised by mean and variance is explored. Small networks of GE service centres can be solved exactly using methods proposed for Generalised Stochastic Petri Nets. For two centre. systems of GE type a new technique simplifying the balance equations is developed. A very efficient "building bglloocbka"l. is presented for exactly solving two centre systems with service or transfer blocking, Bernoulli feedback and load dependent rate, multiple GE servers. In the tandem finite buffer algorithm the building block illustrates problems encountered modelling high variability in blocking networks. A parametric validation study is made of approximations for single class closed networks of First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) centres with general service times. The multiserver extension using the building block is validated. Finally the Maximum Entropy approximation is extended to FCFS centres with multiple chains and implemented with computationally efficient convolution.
