Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell

For a long time, the programming community has known that programming with threads and locks is hard. It often requires an inordinate degree of expertise even for simple problems and leads to programs that have faults that are hard to diagnose. Still, threads and locks are general enough to express everything we might need to write, from parallel image processors to concurrent web servers, and there is an undeniable benefit in having a single general API. However, if we want to make programming concurrent and parallel software easier, we need to embrace the idea that different problems require different tools; a single tool just doesn’t cut it. Image processing is naturally expressed in terms of parallel array operations, whereas threads are a good fit in the case of a concurrent web server. So in Haskell, we aim to provide the right tool for the job, for as many jobs as possible. If a job is found for which Haskell doesn’t have the right tool, then we try to find a way to build it.

Marionette.js – A scalable and composite application architecture for Backbone.js

Backbone.Marionette is a composite application library for Backbone.js that aims to simplify the construction of large scale JavaScript applications. It is a collection of common design and implementation patterns found in the applications that we have been building with Backbone, and includes pieces inspired by composite application architectures, event-driven architectures, messaging architectures, and more.

Introduction · bio4j/Bio4j Wiki

Bio4j is a bioinformatics graph based DB including most data available in Uniprot KB (SwissProt + Trembl), Gene Ontology (GO), UniRef (50,90,100), RefSeq, NCBI Taxonomy, and Expasy Enzyme DB. Bio4j provides a completely new and powerful framework for protein related information querying and management. Since it relies on a high-performance graph engine, data is stored in a way that semantically represents its own structure. On the contrary, traditional relational databases must flatten the data they represent into tables, creating "artificial" ids in order to connect the different tuples; which can in some cases eventually lead to domain models that have almost nothing to do with the actual structure of data.

Giraph - Welcome To Apache Giraph

Web and online social graphs have been rapidly growing in size and scale during the past decade. In 2008, Google estimated that the number of web pages reached over a trillion. Online social networking and email sites, including Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, have hundreds of millions of users and are expected to grow much more in the future. Processing these graphs plays a big role in relevant and personalized information for users, such as results from a search engine or news in an online social networking site. Graph processing platforms to run large-scale algorithms (such as page rank, shared connections, personalization-based popularity, etc.) have become quite popular. Some recent examples include Pregel and HaLoop. For general-purpose big data computation, the map-reduce computing model has been well adopted and the most deployed map-reduce infrastructure is Apache Hadoop.

CloudMade Downloads

Welcome to the CloudMade downloads site. This is where you can find extracts of maps from different places around the world. From here you can download: OSM XML extracts by country Garmin Map Files (OSM.err edition) Osmosis country bounding polygon Shapefile extracts by country Navit maps by country GPX POI by country TomTom POI by country OSM XML feature extracts by country Adobe Illustrator files by country The files provided on these pages are created from OpenStreetMap map data. Because OpenStreetMap is a work in progress many of the countries are only partially mapped or are incomplete. The data contained on these pages has not been checked or verified by CloudMade and we don't recommend using it for any mission critical applications.

gmr/rabbitmq-pulse · GitHub

RabbitMQ Pulse is an experimental exchange plugin for RabbitMQ 3.0+ that publishes information made available by the rabbitmq-management plugin making cluster monitoring a push event instead of something you poll for. Messages can be published in JSON format as they would be received from the management API or they can be published in a format that is compatible with Graphite's carbon AMQP client, providing conversionless integration into Graphite and systems like rocksteady. This is a work in progress and is not meant for production systems (yet).

Spark Overview - Spark 0.7.0 Documentation

Spark is a MapReduce-like cluster computing framework designed for low-latency iterative jobs and interactive use from an interpreter. It provides clean, language-integrated APIs in Scala, Java, and Python, with a rich array of parallel operators. Spark can run on the Apache Mesos cluster manager, Hadoop YARN, Amazon EC2, or without an independent resource manager (“standalone mode”).

Spout - Spout Wiki

Spout is an upcoming server/client software, written from the ground up (not a server mod like CraftBukkit). It is not focused on Minecraft; focusing instead on a general framework for voxel-based games. The Minecraft implementation of it is in the Vanilla plugin , which you will read more about below. Spout is a multiplatform game engine written in Java. Spout is multithreaded at its core, and designed for "Voxel" or 3D tile-based games, like Minecraft, Infiniminer, etc. Spout has no game code in it, however it is very extendable through the use of SpoutAPI and plugins. Plugins can be used to create full, standalone games, mods of those games, or utilities for managing servers or games, all through the same API.

Reco4j - The Graph-Based Recommender Engine

Reco4j is an open source project that aims at developing a recommendation framework based on graph data sources. We choose graph databases for several reasons. They are NoSQL databases that are "schemaless". This means that it is possible to extend the basic data structure with intermediate information, i.e. similarity value between item and so on. Moreover, since every information are expressed with some properties, nodes and relations, the recommendation process can be customized to work on every graph. Indeed Reco4j can be used on every graph where "user" and "item" are represented by nodes and the preferences are modelled as relationship between them.

MagicMap OpenWRT - Nomads

MagicMap OpenWRT-Sniffer (kurz: MMopenWRT) ist ein Client für das Funkortungssytem MagicMap, der unter dem Linux-Derivat OpenWRT läuft. Der MMopenWRT-Client scannt einerseits WLAN-Signalstärken im Monitor-Modus sowie andererseits Bluetooth-Signale. Beide Scans werden über das MagicMap Web Service-Interface an den MagicMap-Server geschickt. Hier findet eine Auswertung der Signale statt, so dass die Wege, die die Personen (bzw. ihre Mobilgeräte) zurückgelegt haben analysiert werden können. Es handelt sich um einen symmetrischen Ansatz, d.h. der MMopenWRT Sniffer kann sowohl in einer Infrastruktur zur Ortung mobiler Geräte eingesetzt werden (siehe z.B. Bluetooth Tracking), oder er kann auf einem mobilen Gerät eingesetzt werden und dessen Ortung innerhalb einer vorhandenen WLAN/Bluetooth Infrastruktur übernehmen (siehe z.B. Ortung von Gabelstaplern). MMopenWRT ist eine reine Softwarelösung, die auf handlesüblicher Hardware eingesetzt werden kann.
