Berkeley UPC 2.4.0
Berkeley UPC - Portable, high-performance Unified Parallel C compiler more>>
The programmer is presented with a single shared, partitioned address space, where variables may be directly read and written by any processor, but each variable is physically associated with a single processor.
UPC uses a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) model of computation in which the amount of parallelism is fixed at program startup time, typically with a single thread of execution per processor.
In order to express parallelism, UPC extends ISO C 99 with the following constructs:
* An explicitly parallel execution model
* A shared address space
* Synchronization primitives and a memory consistency model
* Memory management primitives UPC combines the programmability advantages of the shared memory programming paradigm and the control over data layout and performance of the message passing programming paradigm.
Berkeley UPC is a high-performance, portable and fully open-source implementation of the UPC language designed for large-scale multiprocessors, PC clusters, and clusters of shared memory multiprocessors.
Berkeley UPC is the first UPC implementation available for Mac OS X, and delivers competetive performance for supercomputing applications on the largest OS X clusters in the world, yet also provides support for UPC code development on Mac OS X laptops and desktop workstations.

IP Scanner 2.34
IP Scanner for the Macintosh is a very powerful program which assists you in displaying all machines, users & IP numbers of Macintosh users on your local network. more>>
IP Scanner 2.34 for the Macintosh is a very powerful program which assists you in displaying all machines, users & IP numbers of Macintosh users on your local network. It also detects some non-Macintosh devices, and in many cases can even identify the manufacturer of the device.
IP Scanner uses Bonjour (the technology formerly known as Rendezvous) to collect realtime user information as well as IP data from Macintosh machines on a local area network and sorts everything in tidy columns, each machine's IP number displayed next to its name (along with the current username of the person logged in to that machine).
For small network admins, this means no more shouting around the office to find out who has which IP or, conversely, who is sitting at which workstation in a fixed IP network.
Scanner is free for individual users. Using it on a network with more than 5 devices requires a shareware licens, which entitles you to export and printing functions, tech support, feature requests, and a chance to win a dream date with Paris Hilton.

ARAnyM 0.9.8 Beta
A virtual machine software for running the Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems and TOS/GEM applications more>> A virtual machine software for running the Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems and TOS/GEM applications
ARAnyM is an acronym: Atari Running on Any Machine. It is a virtual machine software for running the Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems (TOS, FreeMiNT, MagiC and others) and TOS/GEM applications on any kind of hardware - be it an IBM clone, an Apple, an Unix server, a graphics workstation or even a portable computer.
We started this project to fill the demand of modern applications, games, demos and multimedia for higher CPU/graphics power.
Quite frankly, you cant expect that 9-17 years old Atari hardware will replay fullscreen DivX movies, encode sound to Ogg Vorbis in real time or just compile a new FreeMiNT kernel or SDL game in a reasonable amount of time.
Is that a reason to give up on Atari TOS/GEM altogether and switch to another platform/OS? No! ARAnyM is here to give you the much asked CPU speed, large amount of RAM, huge colourful graphics and anything else you need to keep running your favorite TOS/GEM applications.
We would like you to think about ARAnyM as about yet another TOS clone, similar to Medusa, Hades or Milan, but actually much cheaper and way more powerful.
Our goal is to create a distribution installable from a floppy/CD that would turn any PC machine into full featured Atari power machine. If we were a hardware vendor we could even sell computers that would boot directly to TOS desktop!
That may help all the remaining Atari users who wish to upgrade their aging machines.
Main features:
- MC68040 compatible CPU (including optional MMU!)
- MC68881 compatible FPU
- JIT Compiler for CPU and FPU (speeds up CPU+FPU up to 10x!)

- Automatic bond determination algorithm now runs up to 3 times faster on single processor systems, and uses multiple processors for improved performance on multicore processors and multiprocessor workstations.
- Drastically improved multi-thousand-file structure loading performance when display update is disabled. This benefits batch mode VMD analysis jobs involving analysis of thousands of structures, e.g. loading and searching large subsets of the PDB.
trading-shim 090529
Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation command-line and dbms controlled interface more>> Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation command-line and dbms controlled interface
trading shim is a command-line and dbms controlled interface to the socket-based API of Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation, abbreviated as the IB tws socket api, or simply tws.
That api has a number of advantages for our purposes, including the freely available Trader Workstation, comprehensive feeds and archives for tick and history data, a paper account ideal for software testing, and low transaction costs.
The shim consults the product database at initial startup, and from then on uses in-memory lookup to translate brief text commands from the downstream to the much longer binary requests of the tws api.
trading-shim serializes the resulting event stream and copies the text to any of a number of user-selected output channels. The shim command interface provides an alternative to the existing tws gui interfaces, permitting you to use downstream programs, whether gui or not, to drive the tws through its api.
trading-shim is written in C, and although developed on Linux, trading-shim should be able compile and run on any modern Unix-like platform.

- Visual Profiler for the GPU - The most common step in tuning application performance is profiling the application and then modifying the code. The CUDA Visual Profiler is a graphical tool that enables the profiling of C applications running on the GPU. This latest release of the CUDA Visual Profiler includes metrics for memory transactions, giving developers visibility into one of the most important areas they can tune to get better performance.
- Improved OpenGL Interop - Delivers improved performance for Medical Imaging and other OpenGL applications running on Quadro GPUs when computing with CUDA and rendering OpenGL graphics functions are performed on different GPUs.
- Texture from Pitch Linear Memory - Delivers up to 2x bandwidth savings for video processing applications.
- Zero-copy - Enables streaming media, video transcoding, image processing and signal processing applications to realize significant performance improvements by allowing CUDA functions to read and write directly from pinned system memory. This reduces the frequency and amount of data copied back and forth between GPU and CPU memory. Supported on MCP7x and GT200 and later GPUs.
- Pinned Shared Sysmem - Enables applications that use multiple GPUs to achieve better performance and use less total system memory by allowing multiple GPUs to access the same data in system memory. Typical multi-GPU systems include Tesla servers, Tesla Personal Supercomputers, workstations using QuadroPlex deskside units and consumer systems with multiple GPUs.
- Asynchronous memcopy on Vista - Allows applications to realize significant performance improvements by copying memory asynchronously. This feature was already available on other supported platforms but is now available on Vista.
- Hardware Debugger for the GPU - Developers can now use a hardware level debugger on CUDA-enabled GPUs that offers the simplicity of the popular open-source GDB debugger yet enables a developer to easily debug a program that is running 1000s of threads on the GPU. This CUDA GDB debugger for Linux has all the features required to debug directly on the GPU, including the ability to set breakpoints, watch variables, inspect state, etc.
- Exclusive Device Mode - This system configuration option allows an application to get exclusive use of a GPU, guaranteeing that 100% of the processing power and memory of the GPU will be dedicated to that application. Multiple applications can still be run concurrently on the system, but only one application can make use of each GPU at a time. This configuration is particularly useful on Tesla cluster systems where large applications may require dedicated use of one or more GPUs on each node of a Linux cluster.
Pinned Memory Support:
- These new memory management functions (cuMemHostAlloc() and cudaHostAlloc()) enable pinned memory to be made "portable" (available to all CUDA contexts), "mapped" (mapped into the CUDA address space), and/or "write combined" (not cached and faster for the GPU to access).
- cuMemHostAlloc
- cuMemHostGetDevicePointer
- cudaHostAlloc
- cudaHostGetDevicePointer
Function attribute query:
- This function allows applications to query various function properties.
- cuFuncGetAttribute
2D Texture reads from pitch linear memory:
- You can bind linear memory that you get from cuMemAlloc() or cudaMalloc() directly to a 2D texture. In previous releases, you were only able to bind cuArrayCreate() or cudaMallocArray() arrays to 2D textures.
- cuTexRefSetAddress2D
- cudaBindTexture2D
Flags for event creation:
- Applications can now create events that use blocking synchronization.
- cudaEventCreateWithFlags
New device management and context creation flags:
- The function cudaSetDeviceFlags() allows the application to specify attributes such as mapping host memory and support for blocking synchronization.
- cudaSetDeviceFlags
Improved runtime device management:
- The runtime now defaults to attempting context creation on other devices in the system before returning any failure messages. The new call cudaSetValidDevices() allows the application to specify a list of acceptable devices for use.
- cudaSetValidDevices
Driver/runtime version query functions:
- Applications can now directly query version information about the underlying driver/runtime.
- cuDriverGetVersion
- cudaDriverGetVersion
- cudaRuntimeGetVersion
New device attribute queries:
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_INTEGRATED
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_CAN_MAP_HOST_MEMORY
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPUTE_MODE
