2003-08-25 Thread LinuxLingam
really impressive stuff, shuvam.

we would really love to hear you give a small presentation on this at the 
next linux-delhi meet, to be held tentatively on 21 september 2003, sunday.
venue to be decided. time: 2pm to 5:30pm.

so you take the first slot, for 35 minutes, with a small q&a towards the end

goodie! october 5th is a sunday this year!!! so yeah! let's celebrate this 
birthday as well. great excuse to party, have another bash, and those who 
missed the sweets i got this time can have a go at them as well.

besides, in computers, one human year equal 7 years, as we know, so 
celebrating thrice over is also great.

i recommend we have a bigger bash, tell more people, have more snakes and 
sweets, a bigger cake, i'll bring some indian diyas as well to light on the 
occassion, and have some superb presentations as usual.

what sayest thou? perhaps we could even end the day with some diwali crackers 
if its the season

people just use knoppix as the rescue disk. all the tools you'll need are 
already on it. even the first cd of a distro's installation is safely used 
these days as a rescue cd, by booting it into 'rescue' mode.

raj, could you please brief us on the FireCD you mentioned at the meet. 
sorry, i was too busy strumming those strings to pay some attention. you 
mentioned it also worked for linux, *nix, solaris, and win, wasn't it?

looking forward to some details

In an unrelated (and not very helpful) note, Reliance India Mobile's
RConnect service has blocked ping and traceroute since yesterday. I
guess they've blocked all (most?) ICMP packets. All our network probes
of various kinds are now failing. And they call it "security".

[ilugd] Hotwire blocks ICMP everywhere?

2003-08-25 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya

Can users of Hotwire services in Delhi confirm this? I have been having difficulty
monitoring my connectivity for the past few days(which I do using simple ICMP pings),
 and contacted my Hotwire distributor about it. He informed me that due to
the recent spate of viruses all over net, the Hotwire folks have placed
a firewall before all their customers which (I hope among other things)
blocks all incoming and outgoing ICMP pings!!!

Now this is another major PIA
... coming after their policy of not allowing mails larger than 750+KB to be sent to
their mail relay servers. 

I just wanted to know if other Hotwire subscribers in this list are facing
the same problem.


Thanks,

Happy B'day Linux.

Why August 25th?

There are actually three "birthdays" one can identify for Linux:

The first was July 3rd, 1991, when Linus posted his first query to 
a newsgroup for some information he needed to help him with a 
project. That project was, of course, Linux:

From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
Newsgroup: comp.os.minix

machine-readable format of the latest posix rules? Ftp-sites would 
be
nice.

The next was August 25th, 1991, when Linus first let the cat out 
of the bag about his project:

From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Linus Benedict Torvalds)
Newsgroup: comp.os.minix
Subject: What would you like to see most in minix?

Hello everybody out there using minix-

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big
and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has
been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like
any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix; as my OS
resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-sytem
due to practical reasons)among other things.
I've currently ported bash (1.08) an gcc (1.40), and things seem 
to work.
This implies that i'll get something practical within a few 
months, and I'd
like to know what features most people want. Any suggestions are 
welcome,
but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Finally came Linus' call to arms on October 5th, 1991, when he 
posted this:

Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and 
wrote
their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just 
dying
to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? 
Are you
finding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more 
all-
nighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be 
just
for you :-)

As I mentioned a month(?) ago, I'm working on a free version of 
a
minix-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the 
stage
where it's even usable (though may not be depending on what you 
want),
and I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It 
is
just version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I've 
successfully
run bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress etc under it.

Three clear candidates for a birthday, but one can, of course, 
have only one.
The 3-Jul-1991 message does not actually mention what the project 
*is*, while the 5-Oct-1991 message refers to his message earlier, 
which clearly mentions "I'm doing a (free) operating system".

Therefore, by convention, Linux was "born" on 25-Aug-1991.

By the way, the name "Linux" didn't come from Linus. That name was 
given by Ari Lemke, who chose it over Linus' preferred name for 
the OS when he created the subdirectory for the source code on 
nic.funet.fi.

So what was Linus' preferred name for his baby?

"Freax"

One can see that while Linus may be a great programmer and leader 
of (wo)men, he really should leave the process of naming projects 
to other people ;-)

[ilugd] [COMMERCIAL] Wanted someone good with autotools

2003-08-25 Thread Naba Kumar
Hi,

We are looking for someone who is considerably good (and therefore very
comfortable) working with autotools (autoconf, automake ... stuffs) and
general CVS operations. It will be 7 to 10 days contract to complete a
set of works related to this.

Paycheck for this contract work will be exceptionally nice. The
candidate may have to go through a small test/interview before the
contract is awarded.

The candidate can either be located in New Delhi, in which case, he may
come to our office for the hardware requirements (computer/internet) or
he could work from a remote location (outside Delhi or within) via ssh,
in which case, additional reimburshment will be given for the internet
connectivity. Please note that the bandwidth/latency required for the
connectivity is little high, so the regular dialup may not work
satisfactorily.

Those who are interested can contact me for further details (preferably,
but not neccessarily, with his/her resume attached to the email).

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
-Naba

I've already asked one of my colleagues to look into it. Thanks; we

It was interesting to read this bit in Express Computer. Took me back to
the days when we had developed it.

The PRISM system is probably the only one of its kind in the world,
which uses a cluster of computers to provide real-time risk analysis of
trades in a trading exchange, using Value-at-Risk. Before the project
was commissioned, a high-level team from the NSE visited exchanges in
the Europe and the US, including NASDAQ and NYSE, and found:

1.  Some exchanges were using simple upper-limit-lower-limit software to
do real-time risk checking of buyers and sellers for each trade. The
software worked in real time all right, but all it did was calculate
some primitive risk attribute of each portfolio and compare it
with the high and low limits. Any economist will tell you that this
super-simplistic risk limiting makes almost no sense in the context
of the dynamics of a busy market. I don't know enough econometrics
to even begin to comment on this.

2.  Other exchanges were using mathematical models like VaR for risk
analysis, but not in real time. They'd do the number-crunching at
the end-of-day, and any trader who had crossed risk limits would be
debarred from trading the next morning. Therefore, intra-day, a
rogue trader could bring down part of the exchange by his crazy risk
exposure.

The NSE wanted to go the whole hog, and build a real-time risk analysis
engine which would use a sophisticated VaR model for risk analysis. This
VaR model would be hand-tuned to the parameters of the NSE, based on
NSE's own historical data about scripts, volatility of the market, etc.
This, I have been assured, is a complex area, where current research
is going on, and I believe the porting of the VaR model to the NSE data
itself is worthy of a PhD or two in economics.

This work was done by a team led by Ajay Shah and Susan Thomas, both
faculty at the IGIDR. They have a long association with the NSE; they have
made key contributions to the econometrics theory and its application
in deciding the principles of the NSE Nifty index. (I could be wrong,
but I'm told that the formulation of the BSE Sensex is not based on
any hard econometrics theory.) In fact Susan, I believe, thought up the
name "Nifty" for the NSE-Fifty index. :) The IGIDR team undertook the
responsibility of actually converting the VaR math into a well-written,
debugged, C function. Ajay and Susan have done _enormous_ amounts of
coding in C, awk and Perl, so they can deliver such efforts better
than the average economist. Ajay often runs huge numerical computation
jobs on his Linux laptop, where the code is written in Perl, crunches
gigabytes of actual data all kept in plain ASCII files, and takes actual
days of computation. :)

Everything else in PRISM was our responsibility. We worked on:

(a) the overall software architecture,
(b) the partitioning of computation into the various components in
the cluster,
(c) the design of the front-end (it's a GUI Java application; we
needed to impress non-geeks with PRISM by _showing_ them something
happening on the screen),
(d) the fault tolerance architecture
(e) the throughput measurement and scalability
(f) the choice of technology (we studied PVM and MPI)
(g) and of course, writing and debugging lots of C code. :)

among other things.

There were other parties other than IGIDR and Starcom too in the picture,
and most of the coding for the Java GUI front-end for instance was done by
programmers not working in Starcom. There was no employee of NSE or NSE.IT
involved in the design or development of PRISM, IIRC.  I remember giving
demos to Ravi Narain, then DyMD of NSE (now MD), and Satish Naralkar
(CEO of NSE.IT). Both were very encouraging and supportive. After all,
they were "the customer." :) And we were all aware that in our small way,
we were creating history. The fact that it was also on an open source
OS was icing on the cake. :)

Another high point of the project was taking our code to C-DAC Pune to
get it benchmarked on the PARAM. We interacted with Dr.Medha Dhurandhar
there, and her team assisted our team in porting our code onto their
latest PARAM. In terms of CPU power, each PARAM CPU was woefully behind
the times (some 330MHz SPARC CPU, I think) even for the standards of 1999
and 2000, but connect them together, and they could really sing. We found
that the PARAM architecture running on normal Fast Ethernet couldn't
add much value to our
