This is a follow-up to my earlier post: Question: How to Launch an MPI Parallel Program Programmatically An Iceberg Problem I've been stuck on my MPI-Java integration experiment for more than a week and so far haven't found a way out of this problem. My problem is quite similar to this posting on the comp.parallel.mpi newsgroup. Unfortunately, the thread was first posted in the year 2001 and, almost five years later, no one has answered the question. Let me explain my situation: I want to convert my parallel code, which is written in C and is based on the MPICH and PETSc parallel-computing libraries, into a Web service. From my point of view, three solutions are available: The first one is to use Apache Axis C++ Web Services library to extend the existing code into a Web service. The second one is to leave the parallel code as is and then develop a Java Web service that acts a proxy to execute the parallel code via a Java Runtime.exec() method call. The third one is to use t...

I always wondered how to force emacs text editor to start in the non-graphical user-interface mode. I just ignored my desire in the past but I really want to do it today. Spending a few seconds Googling and guessing at Google's excerpts of the content, here is how to do it: Open a Terminal console, and, at the shell prompt: emacs -nw filename I guess the -nw option stands for "no window".

To support Thai language in iPod. Petition A group of iPod users in Thailand has started a petition for Apple Computer, Inc. to add Thai language to the iPods. Apple has significantly increased its marketing effort in Thailand, as can be seen by the iPod being sold in almost every shopping malls in Bangkok. Thai language support so far has been provided by a hacked version of the firmware downloadable "free-of-charge" from Pubble's website . I know Pubble personally and feel this is an unfair practice by Apple Computer and the iPod vendors. Well, if you can read Thai and want Apple to support the language, it could we worthwhile to sign the petition here . Keywords: ipod , thai-language , petitions

Thru Ubuntu automatic updates notification, I upgraded the kernel of my Ubuntu Linux 5.1 VMware virtual machine this morning and, all of a sudden, my VMware shared folders disappeared from the /mnt/hgfs directory. I guessed it could be that the kernel upgrade package overwrote some essential file of VMware Tools so I went ahead reinstalling VMware Tools according to the instruction here . Things went fine until I was reported that this version of kernel (is too new and) is not supported by the installer. The installer then asked for a path of the kernel source files. I didn't install a kernel development package and didn't really have enough patience to browse thru the Ubuntu package repository to find a proper package to install. After half an hour of trial-and-error plus Google search, from this JustLinux.com posting , here is how to install the latest kernel source code: Logged on as root , apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` Note the grave-accent character, not an a...

I was using Red Hat Linux a lot back in the year 2000 and remember that if I want to switch the user interface at boot time from a GUI mode to a text mode I would edit the file /etc/inittab and change the default run-level from 5 down to 3 , as documented here . I want to do the same thing in Ubuntu Linux 5.1 but it doesn't work. Spending some time googling, here is how to do it in Ubuntu: In terminal, logged in as root : To switch from GUI interface to text-based interface: update-rc.d -f gdm remove To switch back from text-based interface to GUI interface: update-rc.d -f gdm defaults Reference: Arstechnica.com Forum Keywords: ubuntu-linux , configuration

Padonc's "Bought from Mae Hong Son" T-shirts -- Interesting Souvenir from Mae Hong Son The "I love New York" t-shirt and the series of souvenir was one of my impressive memory from my previous trips to New York City. I got this same kind of impression when I was browsing by the shops by the Jong Kam Walking Street in the city of Mae Hong Son in the second night of the trip. I didn't look at the seller when I caught the sight of these T-shirts. The seller greeted me and, surprisingly, she was P'Kwan, my senior alumni from Chulalongkorn University, who lives in Mae Hong Son and gave me a warm welcome when my family and I went for a dinner at Fern Restaurant in Mae Hong Son town the other night. Note: Pi or P' (its abbreviation) is a Thai word to call an elder sister or brother.
