Nine from IBM: DVB-H, profilers, IFF, Eclipse, FIT, SVG, XML-RPC++...
Jun. 23, 2006

IBM has published the following new 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 . . . !


  • Convergence of IP and broadcast media with DVB-H -- DVB-H present a new network picture, and the revolution will strongly affect mobile technology beyond wireless. Emerging technologies over WiFi/3G is a fast-changing, exciting arena to be in. There are many efforts contributing to the framework of Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H) standards and its expected to become the global standard for mobile television. This article provides a glipse of the future with DVB-H and provides the technical details of preparing for the coming DVB-H boom.

  • Contrasting Linux on POWER Profilers -- Profilers help pinpoint common performance problems in an application. This article compares and contrasts three commonly used open source profilers for Linux on POWER -- OProfile, gprof, and tprof -- which are available to end users and programmers for both SUSE and Red Hat Linux distributions. To demonstrate each profiler's strengths and weaknesses, this article profiles a simple sort program, incorporating three different sorting algorithms.

  • Simple, Portable, and Extensible Data Storage with IFF -- The IFF interchange file format had many of the features still sought today in modern file formats. IFF is not just a graphics format, but it has also been used for audio, text, saved games, and more This month's Standards and specs looks at the IFF file format and the lessons it has for modern file formats, such as XML.

  • The mother of all recommended Eclipse reading lists -- This list is compiled from a variety of sources and is intended for anyone who wishes to find centralized reading material about Eclipse. One of the biggest challenges new Eclipse users face is where to find the right information for a task. This article provides a small step in solving that problem.

  • Get in sw testing shape with the FIT Eclipse plug-in -- FIT is a general-purpose, open-ended framework that you can easily extend for expressing various sorts of tests. This article shows you how to use FIT in conjunction with Eclipse to solve several problems in software development. It provides a look at what FIT does to solve the problems inherent in software engineering.

  • How to use vector graphics in Web pages -- Several browsers recently completed or announced built-in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support. This tutorial focuses on SVG for Web development, offering step-by-step instruction for Web developers and designers to learn how to use SVG and vector graphics in Web sites. The lessons are built around examples that you can view and experiment with in your favorite browser. It provides a broad enough view of the language to guide you in deploying it on the Web.

  • Build XML-RPC-based service for C++ programs -- Today the growing popularity of the Internet and its inherent advantages have motivated developers and IT departments to migrate complex C/C++ business and scientific applications to a Web-based environment. XML-RPC is a perfect mechanism to integrate existing C/C++ programs with other client-side technologies. This article is a step-by-step guide to exposing C++ methods as services. It includes sample code snippets for C++ integration using an open source XML-RPC Library.

  • Innovations in Pervasive Computing -- Pervasive computing has greatly increased the use of small computing devices over the last 10 years. Some of the devices users now take for granted actually combine older ideas and technologies with newer ones that have only recently become possible. This article discusses the nature of these combinations, and challenges you to come up with your own innovations in pervasive computing.

  • Unix warning system for disk space shortage -- Monitoring your file systems and ensuring they don't fill up is a vital process in the day-to-day management of your UNIX systems. This article looks at methods for keeping an eye on disk space, discovering which files, users, or applications are using up the most space, and how to make use of quotas and other solutions to find the information you need.
