Grid of 100,000 computers heralds new internet dawn

By
The Grid is coming
A network of supercomputers called the Grid will allow information to be downloaded quicker than ever. Tasks that took hours will now take seconds


A network of 100,000 computers providing the greatest data processing capacity
yet unleashed has been created to cope with information pouring from the
world’s largest machine.


The Grid is the latest evolution of the internet and the world wide web and
computer scientists will announce on Friday that it is ready to be connected
to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).


It is designed for schemes where huge quantities of data need crunching, such
as large research and engineering projects. The Grid has the kind of power
required to download movies in seconds, and the ability to make
high-definition video phone calls for the same price as a local call. More
importantly, it should help to narrow the search for cures for diseases.
However, it is unlikely to be directly available to most internet users
until telecoms providers build the fibre-optic network required to use it.

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
