JConch 1.1
Safe concurrency tool set for Java development more>> Safe concurrency tool set for Java development
JConch is a free, reliable, and safe set of implementations for common tasks in mulithreaded Java applications.
JConchs goal is to be similar in spirit to the way that Spring scraps the boilerplate for common user tasks in database work.
Main features:
- Logical Equivalence Locking -- Both synchronized and ReadWriteLock-based based on logical equivalence (#equals) instead of reference equality (==).
- Thread-safe Lazy Map -- Good for caching look-ups in a multithreaded environment. Use this to substantially improve performance in cases where repeated expensive look-ups are occurring.
- Fast, Thread-safe Multiple-Key Objects -- For when storing one object as a key to a map just isnt enough.
- Easy Spring Integration -- Architected with an eye towards making life easy for Spring users.
System requirements:
- Java 1.5 or later
AsyncSocket 4.3
AsyncSocket - Cocoa socket class more>>
Main features:
- Queued non-blocking reads and writes, with timeouts. You tell it what to read or write and get out of the way. Itll call you when it is done.
- Automatic socket acceptance. If you tell it to accept connections, it will call you with new instances of itself for each connection. You can, of course, disconnect them immediately.
- Delegate support. Errors, connections, accepts, read completions, write completions, and disconnections all result in a call to your delegate method.
- Run-loop based, not thread based. Although you can use it on main or worker threads, you dont have to. It calls the delegate methods asynchronously using NSRunLoop. The delegate methods include a socket parameter, allowing you to distinguish between many instances.
- Self-contained in one class. You dont need to muck around with streams or sockets. The class handles all of that.
- Support for TCP streams.
Enhancements:
- Eliminated empty data returns from -readDataWithTag:.
- Added per-socket user data.
- More complete NSError messages.
- Fixed null-padding at end of recovered data.
ThreadWorker 0.7
Free and open source class to offload a task to another thread more>> Free and open source class to offload a task to another thread
ThreadWorker is a class that aims to make it easy to offload a task to another thread and notify your application when youve completed the task.
Creating Multithreaded applications with Objective-C in Mac OS Xs Cocoa framework is easier than raw C code, but there are still some difficulties that ThreadWorker will help you overcome.
Enhancements
- Added ability to mark thread as cancelled.
- Changed the behavior when "longTask" takes a second argument. Instead of passing a proxy to the primary threads "self" it passes a references to the ThreadWorker. The recommended way to pass information from the primary, or originating, thread is to use an NSDictionary to pass in the Things Youll Need. See the Controller.m example.
- Changed threads termination behavior so that as soon as your "longTask:" is finished, the thread will exit. This means if you left anything on the NSRunLoop (or more likely an NSURL did it without your knowledge), it will get dumped.

- Integrated (Customizable) Search Engine
- Flexible Filtering
- Torrent Generator
- Live Info View
- UPnP and NAT-PMP Port Forwarding

- serves multiple torrents on a single port and in a single thread
- gzipped tracker-responses
- HTTP seeding, as specified by Michael Burford of GetRight.
- piece picking on block-level (as opposed to piece-level). This means it can download parts of the same piece from different peers. It will also prefer to download whole pieces from single peers if the download speed is high enough from that particular peer.
- queues torrents for file check, instead of checking all of them in parallel.
- supports http proxies and proxy authentication
- uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader, with a fool-proof thread-safe library interface. (i.e. Theres no way for the user to cause a deadlock).
- can limit the upload and download bandwidth usage and the maximum number of unchoked peers
- piece-wise, unordered, incremental file allocation
- implements fair trade. User settable trade-ratio, must at least be 1:1, but one can choose to trade 1 for 2 or any other ratio that isnt unfair to the other party.
- fast resume support, a way to get rid of the costly piece check at the start of a resumed torrent. Saves the storage state, piece_picker state as well as all local peers in a separate fast-resume file.
- supports an extension protocol.
- supports files > 2 gigabytes.
- supports the no_peer_id=1 extension that will ease the load off trackers.
- supports the udp-tracker protocol by Olaf van der Spek.
- possibility to limit the number of connections.
- delays have messages if theres no other outgoing traffic to the peer, and doesnt send have messages to peers that already has the piece. This saves bandwidth.
- does not have any requirements on the piece order in a torrent that it resumes. This means it can resume a torrent downloaded by any client.
- adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate.
- supports the compact=1 tracker parameter.
- selective downloading. The ability to select which parts of a torrent you want to download.
- ip filter.
ConferWeb 3.5b6
ConferWeb - Host guestbooks, bulletin boards and discussion forums more>>
ConferWeb is a simple, easy-to-use but un-bounded bulletin board (aka "conferencing") system.
It is easy to deploy, easy to configure, and easy to manage. It provides flexible layout, and support for multiple conferences on a single server.

DT1 Flocking Orchestra 1.8b1
DT1 Flocking Orchestra is a useful tool designed with the ability to play music by visually conducting flocking agents in the 3D virtual space. more>>
DT1 Flocking Orchestra 1.8b1 is a useful tool designed with the ability to play music by visually conducting flocking agents in the 3D virtual space. It employs flocking algorithms to produce music and visuals. The users motions are captured by a video camera and influence the flocks behaviour. Each agent moving in a virtual 3D space controls a MIDI instrument whose playing style depends on the agents state. In this system, the user acts as a conductor influencing the flocks musical activity. In addition to gestural interaction, the acoustic properties of the system can be modified on the fly by using an intuitive GUI.
The acoustical and visual output of the system results from the combination of the flocks and users behaviour. It therefore creates on the behavioural level a mixing of natural and artificial reality. The system has been designed to run an a variety of different computational configuration ranging from small laptops to exhibition scale installations.
- The rendering process got running in an independent thread separated from the main thread.
- It runs smoothly even in case the camera is slow.
- A bug of full-screen mode for a wide display was fixed.
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later, iSight.
