FUEL Database on MontaVista Linux
Whether building a mobile handset, a car navigation system, a package tracking device, or a home entertainment console, developers need capable software systems, including an operating system, development tools, and supporting libraries, to gain maximum benefit from their hardware platform and to meet aggressive time-to-market goals.
Breaking New Ground: The Evolution of Linux Clustering
With a platform comprising a complete Linux distribution, enhanced for clustering, and tailored for HPC, Penguin Computing¿s Scyld Software provides the building blocks for organizations from enterprises to workgroups to deploy, manage, and maintain Linux clusters, regardless of their size.
Data Monitoring with NightStar LX
Unlike ordinary debuggers, NightStar LX doesn¿t leave you stranded in the dark. It¿s more than just a debugger, it¿s a whole suite of integrated diagnostic tools designed for time-critical Linux applications to reduce test time, increase productivity and lower costs. You can debug, monitor, analyze and tune with minimal intrusion, so you see real execution behavior. And that¿s positively illuminating.

Data Management for Real-Time Distributed Systems
This paper provides an overview of the network-centric computing model, data distribution services, and distributed data management. It then describes how the SkyBoard integration and synchronization service, coupled with an implementation of the OMG¿s Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, can be used to create an efficient data distribution, storage, and retrieval system.
7 Advantages of D2D Backup
For decades, tape has been the backup medium of choice. But, now, disk-to-disk (D2D) backup is gaining in favor. Learn why you should make the move in this whitepaper. | 
According to Smart Robots, the SR4 is designed to be physically and electronically expandable. The SR4's standard complement of sensors includes (depending on model) sonar, wheel encoders, a bumper belt, and an experimental position triangulation system based on ultrasonic beacon signals, controlled by its OOPic-R robot controller board. In addition, high-end SR4 models ("Professional" and up) also include an onboard Techsol Medallion HY7201 onboard computer running embedded Linux (and Java), and implement Internet connectivity including email and webserver functions.
One especially interesting capability of the high-end SR4s is their capability to communicate over the Internet with other SR4s and with people -- by email or via the built-in webserver. Basically, the robot creates and sends, or receives and interprets, XML-formatted emails; for example, the SR4 can diagnose its sensors and subsystems and automatically send trouble reports, and its internal webserver can provide real-time operating data for access anywhere on the Internet via web browser. Additionally, two or more wireless-enabled SR4s can communicate directly with each other (within range of their Wi-Fi signals) without any additional equipment.
