Nine from IBM -- simulation, eSWT, HPC, Xbox 360, Java 5.0...
Nov. 07, 2005

IBM has published the following technical articles, tutorials, and downloads on its DeveloperWorks website. They cover a range of interesting (though not necessarily embedded) technical topics, primarily related to Linux and open source system development. Some require free registration. Enjoy . . . !


  • Easing Device Driver Development -- Why would anybody want to simulate hardware when developing a device driver? This linux-based article lays out the problem and proposes an approach to solve it. Part 2 of this two-part series, "Debugging simulated hardware on Linux, Part 2: Device driver debugging." gives you a strategy for debugging the complete code flow of your drivers.

  • Best practices for embedded apps with eSWT -- Because of the limits of embedded devices (for example, memory and screen size), there are some differences between the SWT widgets and eSWT widgets that greatly influence how you use them. This article shows you how the embedded Standard Widget Toolkit (eSWT) differs from the usual SWT Toolkit and provides best tips and practices for using it as you develop your own eSWT application based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework.

  • Xbox 360 Unveiled -- We dig deep into the Xbox 360 and bring you news of the technology, a test drive of the console, and an interview with J. Allard on Xbox compatibility. Plus, how IBM is sharpening its Blades for 2006 and early news of P.A. Semi's new low-power Power processor.

  • Blue Gene Tools and Residency -- Find a wealth of Blue Gene resources an updated Post-Link Optimization for Linux on POWER, new and updated documentation on Power Architecture boxen, the latest Redbook Residency opportunities -- and much more.

  • SoC Drawer: Function Allocation and Specification -- The latest installment of the SoC drawer column discusses ways to prototype functions for systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) and how to determine whether they should run in software or be hard-coded into the silicon.

  • Learn what Eclipse is good for -- Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a universal platform of frameworks and tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software. This article gives you information about the latest version of Eclipse, and a guide to some of the most interesting Eclipse projects. Learn what Eclipse is good for, why it is important, how you can get started, and where to learn more about it.

  • Eclipse-based tools for Apache Derby -- This article shows you how to Connect to and browse Apache Derby databases using Eclipse technology. It shows you how to use Derby from within Eclipse and with a stand-alone tool, the cloudscape Workbench, which does not require the Eclipse IDE, but instead is an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application.

  • High-Performance Linux Clustering -- High Performance Computing (HPC) has become easier, and two reasons are the adoption of open source software concepts and the refinement of clustering technology. This second of two articles discusses parallel programming using MPI, gives an overview of cluster management and benchmarking, and Linux clustering using OSCAR. Part 1 of this series, Clustering fundamentals, discusses the types and uses of clusters.

  • Java 5.0 download and article series -- Java 5.0 offers developers some powerful new choices for developing high-performance concurrent applications. Download the IBM Java 5 Standard Edition and start your Java 5.0 coding today. In addition to the new download, you will find below the excellent Taming the Java 5.0 Tiger article serries written by John Zukowski, President, JZ Ventures. There are also two tutorials focusing on Generics and Concurrency in Java 5.0.
