Welcome to OSDev.org, the largest online community of operating system developers. If you want to learn how to write your own OS we have all the information to get you started. Read our OS development wiki to learn where to start. The forums are a great place to discuss OS theory and ask for help when you get stuck. Don't forget to add a link on the OS List to your OS project once it gets going.
The MCL algorithm is short for the Markov Cluster Algorithm, a fast and scalable unsupervised cluster algorithm for graphs based on simulation of (stochastic) flow in graphs.
Categories are pages that are used to group other pages on similar subjects together. This is done to help users find the pages they are looking for, even if they do not know whether it exists or what it is called.
Every page should belong to at least one category. A page may often be in several categories. However, putting a page in too many categories may not be useful.
The M-tree is an index structure that can be used for the efficient resolution of similarity queries on complex objects to be compared using an arbitrary metric
Consensus clustering has emerged as an important elaboration of the classical clustering problem. Consensus clustering, also called aggregation of clustering (or partitions), refers to the situation in which a number of different (input) clusterings have been obtained for a particular dataset and it is desired to find a single (consensus) clustering which is a better fit in some sense than the existing clusterings. Consensus clustering is thus the problem of reconciling clustering information about the same data set coming from different sources or from different runs of the same algorithm. When cast as an optimization problem, consensus clustering is known as median partition, and has been shown to be NP-complete.
The FOSS in Research and Student Innovation Miniconf brings together researchers and students with an active interest in Free and Open Source Software with the broader Linux.conf.au community to highlight exciting work taking place within the often esoteric world of academia and educational institutions.
The Miniconf is part of Linux.conf.au 2011, being held at the QUT Gardens Point Campus in Brisbane, Queensland in January.
Topics are split into two streams: FOSS in Research, which invites presentations on research relating to Free and Open Source Software; and Student Innovation, which explores new and exciting work in the FOSS world conducted by students. Presentations may be proposed in a 25-minute talk format (20 minutes talk + 5 minutes discussion).
The following article will describe how to configure a CentOS 5.x-based or Centos 6.x-based system to use Fedora Epel repos and third party remi package repos. These package repositories are not officially supported by CentOS, but they provide much more current versions of popular applications like PHP or MYSQL.
This website provides tutorials and sample course content so CS students and educators can learn more about current computing technologies and paradigms. In particular, this content is Creative Commons licensed which makes it easy for CS educators to use in their own classes.
The Courses section contains tutorials, lecture slides, and problem sets for a variety of topic areas:
AJAX Programming
Algorithms
Distributed Systems
Web Security
Languages
In the Tools 101 section, you will find a set of introductions to some common tools used in Computer Science such as version control systems and databases.
The CS Curriculum Search will help you find teaching materials that have been published to the web by faculty from CS departments around the world. You can refine your search to display just lectures, assignments or reference materials for a set of courses.
If you install macports you can install gcc select, and then choose your gcc version.
/opt/local/bin/port install gcc_select
To see your versions use
port select --list gcc
To select a version use
sudo port select --set gcc gcc40
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
Lzz makes ordinary C++ programming seem low-level. How many times have you neglected to update a header file after editing a source file? This is a silly mistake, yet we do it again and again. C++ forces you to type and maintain duplicate code. Why not let a program generate it for you?
Excellence of any sort--excellent dancing, excellent quarterbacking, excellent woodworking--has no waste. You fix wordy writing by doing the same job using fewer words.
The goal of this book is to provide practical information on how to gain the largest possible benefit from your connection to the Internet. By applying the monitoring and optimisation techniques discussed here, the effectiveness of your network can be significantly improved.
If two numbers b and c have the property that their difference b-c is integrally divisible by a number m (i.e., (b-c)/m is an integer), then b and c are said to be "congruent modulo m."
