Great minds (almost) think alike: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/nightIMPgale+%28IMProved+nightingale%29?content=37037 Instead of turning *on* Amarok at a certain time, this turns *off* Amarok at a certain time. Perhaps you can modify this instead of hacking your own > We'll dig into the code of amarok plugins, and see what open source > development might include. I'm too late to make it before 7, but I made a pretty clearly-written Amarok plugin, check out the code (just untar the file): http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Autotorrent?content=53391 - -- Paul Betts -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHKnP7LaH6prIfSccRApuMAJ43tqVwVtCBPdLTi6MpqCxoy9O8UwCZAUOK 58thy4pejmUNQwe5vYjp6G4= =kJ4w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From bpepple at fedoraproject.org Tue Nov 6 15:30:35 2007 From: bpepple at fedoraproject.org (Brian Pepple) Date: Tue Nov 6 15:31:19 2007 Subject: [opensource] Central Ohio Fedora 8 Release Party Message-ID: <1194381036.1748.12.camel@nixon> Hi, What: This will be a social event to meet other Fedora users and people curious about Fedora from the state of Ohio, and check out the cool features of the new Fedora 8 release (due out on November 8, 2007). It will also serve as an opportunity for people to find out what Fedora and free software in general is all about and ask questions of people already involved in the community. When: Thursay. November 15th 2007, 7:00 PM. Where: Community Room at the Bexley Cup O' Joe.

If anyone is already beyond Hello World, then please consider presenting. In addition they have some $10Million USD to give away to developers who can create some sweet apps. In Other News We may be receiving some funding soon which can go towards upgrading our computer lab/office, so we may also be buying some new workstations. I'm leaning towards the Buy-one-get-one One laptop per childprogram for a portable machine. -- == Peter Dietz Computer Science & Engineering -- The Ohio State University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And also, there is no topic for tomorrows meeting, and we are nearing finals, so I think we should take a recess until Winter Quarter. Also we will find out Thursday if we are approved for funding from Engineers Council, so in honor of tradition, shall we hold a social instead? i.e. Varsity Club, Donatos ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tamera Cramer Date: Nov 28, 2007 3:13 PM Subject: Distinguished Guest Lecturer To: COEUGENG@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Programming Challenges for Petascale and Multicore Parallel Systems Vivek Sarkar E.D. Butcher Professor of Computer Science Rice University Nov 29 2007 3:30 pm 480 Dreese Labs All interested parties are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served prior to the talk. Abstract: This decade marks a resurgence for parallel computing with high-end systems moving to petascale and mainstream systems moving to multi-core processors. Unlike previous generations of hardware evolution, this shift will have a major impact on existing software. For petascale, it is widely recognized by application experts that past approaches based on domain decomposition will not scale to exploit the parallelism available in future high-end systems. For multicore, it is acknowledged by hardware vendors that enablement of mainstream software for execution on multiple cores is the major open problem that needs to be solved in support of this hardware trend. These software challenges are further compounded by an increased adoption of high performance computing in new application domains that may not fit the patterns of parallelism that have been studied by the community thus far. In this talk, we compare and contrast the software stacks that are being developed for petascale and multicore parallel systems, and the challenges that they pose to the programmer. We discuss ongoing work on high productivity languages and tools that can help address these challenges for petascale applications on high-end systems. We also discuss ongoing work on concurrency in virtual machines (managed runtimes) to support lightweight concurrency for mainstream applications on multicore systems. Examples will be give from research projects under way in these areas including UPC, CAF, Java Concurrency Utilities, and X10. Finally, we outline the new Habanero research project being initiated at Rice University that aims to unify elements of the petascale and multicore software stacks so as to produce portable software that can run unchanged on a range of homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore systems. Bio: Professor Vivek Sarkar conducts research in programming languages, program analysis, compiler optimizations and virtual machines for parallel and high performance computer systems. His past projects include the X10 programming language, the Jikes Research Virtual Machine for the Java language, the ASTI optimizer used in IBM's XL Fortran product compilers, the PTRAN automatic parallelization system, and profile-directed partitioning and scheduling of Sisal programs. He is in the process of starting up the Habanero Multicore Software project at Rice University which spans the areas of programming languages, optimizing and parallelizing compilers, virtual machines, and concurrency libraries for homogeneous and heterogeneous multicore processors. Vivek became a member of the IBM Academy of Technology in 1995, an ACM Distinguished Scientist in 2006, and the E.D. Butcher Professor of Computer Science at Rice University in 2007. Prior to joining Rice University in July 2007, Professor Sarkar was Senior Manager of Programming Technologies at IBM Research. His responsibilities at IBM included leading IBM's research efforts in Programming Model, Tools, and Productivity in the PERCS project during 2002 - 2007 as part of the DARPA High Productivity Computing System program. Vivek holds a B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, an M.S. degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. In 1997, he was on sabbatical as a visiting associate professor at MIT, where he was a founding member of the MIT RAW multicore project.
