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.
Virtualizing Service Provider Networks with Vyatta
This paper highlights Vyatta's unique ability to virtualize networking functions using Vyatta's secure routing software in service provider environments.
High Availability Messaging Solution Using AXIGEN, Heartbeat and DRBD

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.

TimeSys is shipping embedded Linux 2.6 Development Kits (LDKs) for two rugged VMEbus SBCs (single-board computers) from Curtis-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC). The SBCs target military and aerospace applications such as tactical aircraft and armored vehicles with radar, sonar, and signal intelligence. 
The SVME/DMV-182 is based on up to two 1GHz Motorola PowerPC 7457 or 700MHz 7455 processors, with 64KB of L1 cache, and 512KB of internal L2 cache. Additionally, each processor benefits from 2MB of off-chip L3 cache. The SVME/DMV-182 comes with 1GB of DDR SDRAM with ECC.
The board also includes customizable backplane I/O, thanks to daughtercards that CWCEC calls "Interface Personality Modules" (IPMs, pictured at right). The company says IPMs allow backward pin compatibility with legacy PowerPC SBCs, or the creation of a new set of I/O. 
The Champ-AV III is based on two or four Motorola PowerPC 7447 or 7447A processors clocked up to 1GHz, with AltiVec floating point/vector processing engines. The processors are connected by 100MHz PCI-X buses arranged in a "QuadFlow" architecture that CWCEC claims can deliver 3.2GB/sec of on-card, inter-processor bandwidth. An interface claimed to be capable of 2GB/sec of bandwidth connects each processor to its own 256MB bank of DDR SDRAM.
