In 2007, the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, best known for the development of bioinformatics tools, established the Schizophrenia Genome Project. Taking Illumina GA sequence data, NCGR scientists used a combination of homegrown Alpheus software and JMP Genomics (from SAS) to develop a streamlined workflow for the acquisition, analysis, and management of huge amounts of next-generation sequencing data—in this case, mRNA.
Nmap Network Scanning is the official guide to the Nmap Security Scanner, a free and open source utility used by millions of people for network discovery, administration, and security auditing.

Red5 is an Open Source Flash Server written in Java that supports: * Streaming Video (FLV, F4V, MP4) * Streaming Audio (MP3, F4A, M4A) * Recording Client Streams (FLV only) * Shared Objects * Live Stream Publishing * Remoting
Last year, some of our commenters steered me toward ImgBurn as a Nero alternative, and it's been my CD and DVD recording app of choice ever since. It's an excellent lightweight program, handles just about every kind of disc-related task imaginable, and it's totally free.
For around seventy years, 800 rolls of early nitrate film sat in sealed barrels in the basement of a shop. Now miraculously rediscovered and restored, the Mitchell
The goal of Tidydoc is to make documentation organization easier. It addresses the following problems: Add documents to a pool of documents. Give them the right names and put them into the right directories. Reorganize them a posteriori. Generate a set of HTML pages to browse your documents. Generate a bibtex file referencing all your documents.
Evolution of Google File System August 08, 2009 07:26:40 EDT There is an interesting interview about the evolution of the Google File System in ACM Queue. I think it is readable by anybody, not just ACM members. One of the morals of this story is that, even if you are building what you think will be the world's biggest, you still will make design decisions that you know are not scalable because you know how to implement them. It is better to get something running right away and start using it. Of course, they also ran into scalability problems that they did not expect. So, some of the evolution of GFS was planned, and some was unplanned.
So you have heard of all the advantages and geeky babble about how Linux is better and you have finally decided to try it? Just one thing, you don’t know an awful lot about Linux to get you started. How about some free downloadable ebooks to teach yourself Linux, that you can download today? Would that help? Free – you ask? Yes, free. Welcome to the world of Linux where things are free both as in free speech and also as in free beer (mostly)!
Personal supercomputers that lash together a stack of graphics processing units and can sit on a desktop are becoming popular with researchers. These machines can be used to run calculations by the desk instead of waiting for time on one of the national supercomputers.
SUSE Studio is a free, web-based service designed to build virtual appliances, such as pre-installed hardware-appliances, or "software appliances" -- pre-configured Linux server stacks suitable for installation by users on real or virtual commodity hardware. Recently released from beta, SUSE Studio can produce appliance images in raw disk image, Live CD/DVD iso, VMware, and Xen formats, and there are plans in the works for supporting Amazon's EC2 ami format, says the review by our sister publication, eWEEK.
To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 8 top free Linux compilers. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here for anyone who wants to transform source code into another computer language.
VMware to xen migration German original: http://www.eisxen.org/49.html To convert a Linux VMWare Image to a normal image, below the most important commands: install qemu convert the VMware image to a RAW-Image qemu-img convert -f vmdk /var/vmware/vm/vm01.vmdk \ -O raw /tmp/vmimage.raw A vmware imange is a containerfile. The partitions have to be spilt up to individual images for xen. To find out what is in the VMware image, take a look with: fdisk -l -u /home/xen/vmimage.raw Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System linux1 * 63 208844 104391 83 Linux linux2 208845 7550549 3670852 83 Linux linux3 7550550 8193149 321300 82 Linux swap I presume there are already some lvm’s available. Now use the command below a couple times to extract them dd if=vmimage.raw of=/dev/vg01/xendomU01slash bs=512 skip=208845 count=7341705 Of course, check the result (with a (loop)mount)
Re: How migrate vmware guest to xen Hi, It's possible with the qemu tools Install the qemu package (which is available from the OpenSuSE Build Service) and use the following command: qemu-img convert -f vmdk /path/to/vm01.vmdk -O raw /tmp/xenimage.raw This will create a raw disk which can be used with xen from a VMware vmdk disk.
The United States increasingly relies on information networks for the conduct of vital business. These networks are potentially subject to major disruptions from a variety of external sources. To date, there has been no clear statement of the magnitude of this threat or the ability of the various networks to withstand or respond to such disruptions. This project examines the national communications and information infrastructure. The research was conducted for the Office of Science and Technology Policy with task funding from the National Science Foundation.
Before specialized graphics-processing chips existed, pioneers in the field of visualization used multicore supercomputers to realize data in three dimensions. Today, however, the speed at which supercomputers can process data is rapidly outstripping the speed at which they can input and output that data. Graphics-processing clusters are becoming obsolete.
Bacula is a set of Open Source, enterprise ready, computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. In technical terms, it is an Open Source, enterprise ready, network based backup program.
