IBM ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit – Linux version 2.00 released

pvital — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:57:55 +0000

During this year, I worked in the Linux version of the IBM ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit (SGSTK), one of the tools from IBM System x® ToolsCenter. The SGSTK is a collection of system-configuration tools and installation scripts that you can use to deploy software to your IBM eServer or xSeries server in a repeatable, predictable manner.

After two older releases this year, today we release the version 2.00 of the SGSTK. This version is very special for the development team, because we worked hard to develop a new framework, more stable, robust and (why not?) beauty, than the older one. You can download it from here.

Baile do Bigode 2009

Pois é caros leitores, mais um ano se passou e finalmente chegou o dia tão esperado. O dia do Baile do Bigode. Ele ocorreu ontem, dia 02 de Julho, e dessa vez foi organizado pelo Rei do Baile de 2008, o Daniel Debonzi.

A idéia principal do Baile é a de reunir o pessoal do LTC do Brasil em um happy hour, e para estimular a participação do pessoal, temos a brincadeira de eleger o Rei do Bigode. Esse ano quem levou a taça foi o Leonardo Garcia. Diferentemente do ano passado em que fiquei em segundo lugar, esse ano não recebi nenhum voto. O resultado por ser visto aqui.

O mais legal desse ano foi que contamos com a presença gerencial na competição, além de o happy hour ter sido aberto com um mega show da banda Own Heroes, cujo integrantes são todos do LTC (veja aqui e aqui).

E que venha o próximo baile. :-{D

IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration Version 3.1 released

pvital — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:42:50 +0000

Last Friday, October 24th, IBM released the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration Version 3.1 (a.k.a Cell SDK 3.1) with support to two different Linux® distributions (RHEL 5.2 and Fedora 9) and in three different package bundles: Product, Developer, and Extras.

As reported here, about 1 month ago I was replaced to the Cell IDE project, and the IDE is one of the great number of SDK’s packages.

I’m back.

After 46 days away, I returned yesterday to work. On August, 2nd I broke my left arm playing soccer at the IBM Cup and I could not work.

During this time offline, I was moved to the Cell IDE project. Cell IDE is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that integrate the Cell Broadband Engine tool chain and enable rapid building of Cell Broadband Engine applications, and it is included in the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration.

This change is good for me, once in my master’s project I’m working with transactional memories applied to the Cell processor and other multicore processors. I guess this new project gives me a lot of opportunity and changes to grow up.
