Anurag Acharya's ftpable software and traces

Software

  • xbox: a sandbox for untrusted X applications. It has a small footprint and is reasonably efficient. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a syscall-level confining box such as Janus (from UC Berkeley) or mapbox (from UC Santa Barbara). Currently, runs on Solaris 5.6.
  • Parallel I/O-intensive applications. Currently, source for one application, Sparse Cholesky factorization, is available.
  • sml2c. A portable implementation of SML with call/cc, threads and signals (uses C as the target language)
  • CParaOPS5. A portable parallel OPS5 implementation (uses C as the target language). Manual

    • Traces

  • Traces containing availability information for workstation-pools. The periods of availability have been identified. These traces were used to drive the experiments described in my paper in SIGMETRICS'97.
  • Traces from seven parallel I/O-intensive applications. The application suite includes DB2, a datamining application for retail data, a parallel web server, parallel text search, Titan (satellite database), LU factorization and Sparse Cholesky factorization.
