E-commerce, pay-per-use online services, user-authentication and tracking for e-learning, online gaming, contests… What do all of these applications have in common? The need for secure transfer of encrypted data between client workstations and server applications. According to a study by Gartner Consulting, the growing concern for Internet security parallels the evolution of e-business. In the earliest days of Internet development, the emphasis was on distributing content over the web and making it available to anyone. Now, as the Internet matures, clients are more concerned with ensuring that their assets, both monetary and intellectual, are protected from those who may commit fraud or abuse them. This is why more and more developers have been looking for security solutions.

The EPICS toolkit consists of a set of software components with which Application Developers can create a control system. The basic component types are:
•OPI
Operator Interface. A UNIX- or NT-based workstation or PC which can run various EPICS tools—the “clients.”
•IOC
Input Output Controller. A VME/VXI-based chassis containing a Motorola 68K or PPC processor with various VME I/O modules for analog and digital signals, and for access to field buses such as Allen-Bradley, GPIB, CANbus or CAMAC.
•LAN
TCP/IP-based Local Area Network. A communication network which connects the IOCs and OPIs. EPICS provides a software com- ponent, Channel Access, which provides network transparent commu- nication between every client—such as OPI—and an arbitrary number of servers—such as IOC.

One of the common requirements in a Linux-based network is to include Linux workstations. There are a multitude of ways to do so; if this network also includes Windows workstations that are connecting to the Linux file server, you’re likely already using Samba. This document describes how to have a Linux workstation access data on a Linux file server via Samba. Here’s a quick tutorial to the essential steps involved in setting up a Linux File Server and having Linux workstations connect to it, using Fedora Core as an example.

Over the last decade, research in parallel architectures has led to many new parallel systems. These systems range from multiprocessors with shared address spaces, multi-computers with distributed address spaces, to networks of high performance workstations. Furthermore, the development of high speed interconnection networks makes it possible to connect the systems together, forming a tremendous computational resource. An effective way to use these machines is to partition a computation into coarse-grain tasks.
