Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance
computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical
design targeted at federations of clusters. It relies on a multicast-based
listen/announce protocol to monitor state within clusters and uses a tree of
point-to-point connections amongst representative cluster nodes to federate
clusters and aggregate their state. It leverages widely used technologies such
as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and
RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data
structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high
concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set
of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on
over 500 clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across
university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with
2000 nodes.

framework. The list of changes include:
* Modify compiler.mk so that "c" is always prepended to USE_LANGUAGES,
so we no longer need to say it in package Makefiles. Packages
should now append to USE_LANGUAGES instead of setting it.
* Create mk/compiler/f2c.mk which implements another pseudo-compiler
"f2c" that may be used with any C compiler backend, e.g.
PKGSRC_COMPILER= f2c ccache gcc
* Teach the various "real" compiler files, e.g., sunpro.mk, mipspro.mk,
etc., to use f2c if the native Fortran compiler isn't present.
Packages that use Fortran should now simply include the line:
USE_LANGUAGES+= fortran
in the package Makefile.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

The latest PVM release 3.4.5 is mainly bug fixes and additional
support for varying Linux distributions and some better 64-bit
Linux/AMD support (like it doesn't seg fauly any more :-).
Added strerror() support instead of old crusty global vars.
New architectures were added for AIX5*. Fixed hilarious bug
in pvmtmpnam(), caused crash after 10,000 spawns... :-D
While there's a variety of little tweaks, there are no significant
changes or additions to the basic functionality.

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

Changes:
- fix a bug in GridResource.init() method.
policyType_ attribute should be instantiated before creating the policy_
object.
- fix a bug in GridSim.gridletSubmit(Gridlet, int).
By default, acknowledgement is false or not required.
- fix a bug in GridResource.processGridletSubmit().
If a Gridlet has finished previously, then a resource needs
to send it back to sender/user.
- renumbered the tags in GridSimTags.
Originally, there are two tags with the same integer value.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.

OpenPBS is a generic network queuing system.
The Portable Batch System (PBS) is a flexible batch queueing and
workload management system originally developed for NASA. It operates
on networked, multi-platform UNIX environments, including
heterogeneous clusters of workstations, supercomputers, and massively
parallel systems. Development of PBS is provided by Altair Grid
Technologies.
of distributed systems:
GridSim is a toolkit for modeling and simulation of parallel and distributed
systems such as Clusters and Grids. GridSim is part of the Gridbus Project
(http://www.gridbus.org/).
The GridSim Toolkit includes:
* GridBroker:
It is Grid scheduler built on top of GridSim for application
scheduling on Grid based on Deadline and Budget Constrained
Scheduling Algorithms.
* GridSim:
It is built on top of SimJava. SimJava is a process based discrete
event simulation package for Java with animation facilities.
* Visual Modeler:
It enables the user to create experiments on different Grid testbeds
and generate the default Grid Broker source codes (in Java).
The Distributed Queueing System is designed as a management tool to
aid in computational resource distribution across a network. DQS
provides architecture transparency for both users and administration
across a heterogeneous environment, allowing for seamless interaction
for multiple architectures. Highly mutable custom site configurations
are possible under DQS. This abilty to customize DQS leads to
effective resource distribution and increased network throughput.
From the packages README:
Version 1.2.5 is primarily a bug-fix release. New features include
Significantly better collective algorithms are available.
Major changes for the globus2 device and the ch_nt device.
Information on previous versions
--------------------------------
Features new or improved in Version 1.2.4 included:
SMP support has been inproved through the use of sched_yield. SMP Systems that
are not oversubscribed can consider configuring with --disable-yeild.
A number of bugs in the ch_p4, ch_p4mpd, and ch_shmem device hae been fixed.
These could cause programs to hang or generate error messages.
Features new or improved in Version 1.2.3 included:
Bug fixes and improved-portability,
particularly in the area of Linux and Mac OS X support. Other new features
include better support for Intel compilers, particularly for IA64 Linux,
better support for various Fortran compilers, and some fixes for rare race
conditions in the ch_p4 device. The documentation on the ch_p4mpd device and
the MPD system has been improved. Version 1.2.3 also includes all of the
source for both the Unix and Windows versions. Windows users should still
use the self-installing version available through the web page. The globus
device now supports version 2 of Globus.
Features new or improved in Version 1.2.2 included:
There are a number of improvements to the ch_p4 device that improve both
performance and reliability, particularly on Linux platforms.
Significant upgrades have been made to the MPD system of daemons that provide
fast startup of MPICH jobs, management of stdio, and a crude parallel debugger
based on gdb.
linda is an simple library implementation of Linda parallel
programming system (http://www.cs.yale.edu/Linda/linda.html). To
write a parallel program with linda, you have to know only 6
functions: spawn, out, in, inp, rd and rdp with linda.
the scripts/ directory, it will be run automatically as part of
the build process, by bsd.pkg.mk. There are now exactly 5 packages
in pkgsrc which use this facility, and yet, for every package build,
the existence of a script is checked by bsd.pkg.mk once before the
target is executed, and once afterwards. This incurs needless
overhead.
Move the separate pre- and post- script handling out of bsd.pkg.mk into
the individual package Makefiles, where it's much more obvious what is
happening, anyway.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Changes include:
Added new dvt command, which allows you to open xterms to multiple hosts
and control them all via one input window.
Added new jsh command, which allows better job scheduling specifically
designed for parallel compiling.
Multiple bugfixes and enhancements. Much much faster execution.
says to use type time_t for ctime(3).
- Fix some format strings for 64 bit systems.
- use '?=' instead of '='when setting the command used for rsh/ssh so the
user can set it in mk.conf (PVM_SSH).
you can do something like:
make CC="gcc -pipe" PKG_FC="f77 -pipe" CFLAGS="-Wformat -g" FFLAGS="-g"
and still have pvm compile correctly.
Addresses PR pkg/12949 submitted by Thor Simon <tls@cs.stevens-tech.edu>.
Add PLIST.java (contains additional installed files if a javac is
present during build).
Modify Makefile to take the possible presence of a Java compiler
into account.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
of the individual source files making a summary difficult. Of note though is
they have incorporated quite a number of the patches from our 3.4.2 package
hence the removal of 22 (!) patches.
-Add USE_FORTRAN to the package Makefile for correct handling of the
required fortran compiler.
-Fix the .m4 files which control how fortran symbols are handled.
-Rework package to use a different PVM_ARCH for each MACHINE_ARCH. As
opposed to a single PVM_ARCH. This addresses PR pkg/6890 (Thanks to
Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to install missing programs including: pvmgetarch, aimk
debugger, debugger2, and the configuration stubs (*.def, *.m4). This
address part of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to maintain the normal pvm3 directory layout so that only
one variable (PVM_ROOT) has to be set to a non-traditional value. This
address the remainder of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks again Ig!).
Fixes a few bugs, makes it more portable to
other operating systems, gives about 20% speedup in command processing,
adds SIGINT processing to give up on the current node, formats output
much nicer, makes pdf work on more operating systems, and other
fine enhancements.
