Subject: PCL - performance counter library (new version)
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:41:44 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
PCL - The Performance Counter Library
Version 1.3, November 1999
PCL (The Performance Counter Library) is a common interface to access
in a portable way performance counters built into modern
microprocessors. PCL supports query for functionality, start and stop
of counters, and reading the current values out of the
counters. Performance counting can be done in user mode, system, and
user-or-system mode. Functions are callable from C, C++, Fortran, and
Java.
Currently, the following systems are supported:
- SUN Solaris 2.x, Solaris 7 with UltraSPARC I,II
- Linux 2.0.x, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x with Pentium/PPro/Pentium II/Pentium
III
- Digital Unix with Alpha 21164, 21264
- Cray T3E with Alpha 21164
- SGI IRIX with R10000, R12000
- IBM AIX <= 4.2 with PowerPC 604e
The homepage of PCL can be found at
http://www.fz-juelich.de/zam/PCL/
were you can find the source and a detailled description of PCL
including a description of performance counters on various
microprocessors.
Rough overview of changes from version 1.2:
- - support for MIPS R12000
- - PCL uses signal SIGVTALRM instead of SIGALARM

Subject: Ganymede 0.99.8 network directory management system
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:39:52 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Ganymede 0.99.8 is now available for download at
http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/
or
ftp://ftp.arlut.utexas.edu/pub/ganymede/
Mirrors: (may take a short while to update)
ftp://ftp.netlag.com/ganymede/ (USA)
ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ganymede/ (Australia/NZ only)
ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/pub/ganymede/ (KDD R&D Labs, Saitama, Japan)
Ganymede is a GPL'ed network directory management system written in
Java, providing support for team management of NIS, DNS, etc.
--
This release incorporates a wide variety of improvements and bug fixes
that have shown up as we have used Ganymede in fulltime production at
ARL:UT over the last 6 weeks.
New features include object cloning, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and
Linux-compatible MD5 password support, and a big rework of the object
database logic to improve concurrency when it comes to making
asymmetric object links. The old 'backlinks' field is gone, and the
server can now link or unlink objects without having to assert an
exclusive lock on both sides of the link, in the case where the
back-link is not visible on one side of the link.
A fairly large number of usability and performance improvements have
been made to the Ganymede client, as well.
For 0.99.9, I'm planning on focusing almost entirely on documentation
and on reworking the way schema kits are configured and installed, to
make it easier for people to develop and support schema kits
independent of the main Ganymede distribution.
