Sharing USB disk with Virtual Box guest OS

-
Assuming the host OS is Windows and the guest OS is Linux (CentOS in my case):
make a directory at the guest OS for the flash storage:
mkdir /home/telzur/shared
Plug the memory stick and check the guest OS log:
tail /var/log/messages
find the name of the new device, in my case, ./dev/sdb1
as root:
mount –t vfat /dev/sdb1 /home/telzur/shared
Your files are now in the shared folder.
Enjoy!

Cellular Automata - Part II, Using Condor

-
My post on Cellular Automata from January 12 was not put there by mistake. I want to use it as a starting point for a couple of exercises in my Parallel Processing course. In that post I gave a few drawings that differ only by the generating rule number. Today, I am going to show how using the Condor High-Throughput Computing system allows to handle in a very simple way large volume of computations. I used this simple Condor submit file : universe = vanilla executable = nks.py Error = err.$(Process) Output= out.$(Process) Log = log.$(Process) Arguments = $(Process) Queue 256 And was able to compute the whole set of 256 rules (jobs) with the same effort of computing a single rule. I submitted the task to my Personal Condor on my laptop and was not disappointed; After a while I got all the outputs happily waiting for post processing.

In this post I will show step by step how to install and execute MPI (Message Passing Interface) parallel programs in the .NET environment. A much more detailed tutorial is available here . 1) Installation: My computer is running Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2008 is already installed. Download and install the HPC Pack 2008 (next 5 figures): Then install the MPI.NET SDK.msi (see next 4 figures): 2) Test the installation from the command line (next 3 figures): A "Ping-Pong" program Serial run: As should be, the firewall detects the communication traffic and the user should allow it: Parallel run: 3) MPI "Hello" demo using Visual Studio 2008 and C# (next 5 figures): Start a new console C# project: Add Reference to the MPI component: Build the executable: Execute the parallel program with 8 threads: Verifying the execution of the 8 threads by looking at the Task Manager: That's all for now. Your comments are welcome. Guy Tel-Zur Email: tel-zur@computer.org
