\n<p>\r
\n Developer, Jikes RVM project\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n The Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM) is an open-source Java\r
\n Virtual Machine. Jikes RVM compiles Java byte code (as found in\r
\n .class files) into x86-32 and PowerPC (32-bit and 64-bit) native\r
\n machine code, for execution on the Linux, AIX, and Mac OS X\r
\n platforms.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n Jikes RVM provides a testbed for prototyping memory management,\r
\n compilation, and runtime library techniques. The majority of Jikes RVM\r
\n is written in Java (257K lines/10 MB of source code), with\r
\n low-level functionality in C (10K lines/305KB of source code) and C++\r
\n (14K lines/91KB of source code).\r
\n</p>\r
\n<ul class="spacious">\r
\n <li> Refactored the low levels of the Jikes RVM build system, vastly\r
\n
\r\n
improving error handling and identification. Ported the build\r
\n system and tools from Korn Shell to Bash (3K lines/91KB of\r
\n Bash source code; 2500 lines of GNU Makefile source), catching\r
\n and fixing numerous minor bugs along the way. \r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Reviewed the nightly Jikes RVM regression tests and monitored the\r
\n
\r\n
system\'s health.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Implemented nightly regression tests for support of the Eclipse\r
\n
\r\n
IDE. Identified and repaired Eclipse compatibility bugs.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Edited and rewrote much of the Jikes RVM web pages and the\r
\n
\r\n
122-page user\'s guide. Wrote the jikes-rvm.el GNU Emacs mode,\r
\n which simplifies writing Java, C, and C++ code that meets the\r
\n Jikes RVM style guidelines. Fixed 683 Javadoc errors.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Fixed all compilation warnings in Jikes RVM\'s low-level runtime\r
\n
\r\n
support (24K lines of C and C++). Found and fixed memory leaks\r
\n and potential failure modes. \r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Less than two months after beginning work on the system, elected a\r
\n
\r\n
member of the Jikes RVM Core Team, a small group with\r
\n responsibility for the system\'s direction and future.\r

\n <li> The market leader in forensic software needed their real-time\r
\n
\r\n
data acquisition servlet to run on systems beyond Microsoft\r
\n Win32 on Intel 32-bit processors. The servlet is a part of a\r
\n forensic analysis tool with a network data acquisition mode.\r
\n The code base was 168,000 lines of undocumented code under\r
\n Microsoft Visual C++ and Borland C++. Time was critical. \r

\n Architect, SpeedPlace Geolocation System\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n SpeedPlace locates an Internet user\'s geographic position and\r
\n personalizes web content accordingly.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n Discovery agents, implemented on Linux in C, Perl, C++, Python,\r
\n awk, and Java, investigate the Internet\'s topology. The agents\r
\n store their discoveries as XML and in other formats. The\r
\n discoveries feed an expert system (coded in C and C++). The expert\r
\n system\'s results feed a truth maintenance system, which populates\r
\n SpeedPlace\'s geographic database.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n SpeedPlace\'s real-time portion determines locations and exports a\r
\n geolocation API to Apache web server applications, through CGI\r
\n scripts and J2EE Java Server Pages (JSP). The real-time portion \r
\n gains efficiency on systems using SpeedPlace\'s augmented socket API\r
\n and enhanced TCP/IP stack.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n Unix, Linux, and FreeBSD SpeedPlace customers dynamically link with\r
\n their choice of three API implementations, each offering different\r
\n tradeoffs: one directly reads the database files and makes\r
\n conclusions; one performs IPC with a resident geolocation server\r
\n process, and one speaks TCP to offload work to remote geolocation\r
\n servers. The Win32 SpeedPlace implementation provides the API via a\r
\n COM object.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<ul class="spacious">\r
\n <li> Led the SpeedPlace development effort; managed a\r

\n Lead Programmer/Analyst, Prospero Distributed Information System\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n Prospero is middleware for organizing, writing, and retrieving\r
\n information across disparate Internet sites. The Internet "archie"\r
\n search client uses Prospero as middleware for all network operations.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<p>\r
\n Prospero provides a client library for applications and a server,\r
\n which mediates access to the data repository. The server\r
\n provides an API enabling easy integration of new data sources.\r
\n The clients and servers communicate via the Prospero application\r
\n protocol, which provides commands for data manipulation and\r
\n retrieval.\r
\n</p>\r
\n<ul class="spacious">\r
\n <li> Incrementally rewrote most of the Prospero server and clients,\r
\n
\r\n
contributing 100,000 lines of C. Developed under HP-UX,\r
\n Solaris, Linux, and SunOS.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Multi-threaded the Prospero server, making it the middleware\r
\n
\r\n
for AOL\'s first Internet offerings.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Prospero mediated AOL users\' access to WAIS and Gopher\r
\n
\r\n
servers across the Internet. Servers ran stably without\r
\n memory leaks under a load of millions of queries per day.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Implemented an asynchronous Internet transport protocol:\r
\n
\r\n
version 1 of ARDP. Implementation was in C under Solaris\r
\n (Unix).\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Implemented ARDP extensions for privacy and integrity\r
\n
\r\n
protected transactions with Kerberos 5, and for secure\r
\n electronic commerce payments with NetCheque and NetCash.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Built a secure real-time directory infrastructure with the \r
\n
\r\n
Globus toolkit, a network of LDAP servers, and SSL.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Wrote 130 pages of documentation, enabling outside authors to\r
\n
\r\n
write alternative client libraries, which inter-operate with\r
\n the USC/ISI Prospero server.\r
\n</li>\r
\n <li> Prepared reports and demonstrations for Federal Government\r
\n
\r\n
agencies (ARPA, NASA).\r

The use of JavaScript means that updates to the page are instant (no delay as with JSP or Servlets), it also means that the code can be more flexible, and will not have as many syntactical errors as with Java because JavaScript is not type-checked. Presently, XSLT and JavaScript both work, but work is being to improve the JavaScript API (speed and capability-wise) as well as to introduce a JSP-1.0-like method to XML code generation. Future versions will also allow the servlets (but probably not the XSLT) to be compiled to class files. There should also be a Jia + Servlet Container that works out of the box soon.\n\nRegistration Date: Tue Sep 7 04:21:55 2004\nLicense: GNU General Public License v2 or laterDevelopment Status: 3 - Alpha\n\n','nongnu','2013-12-01 16:22:23',6764,1,'Jia - Servlets in JavaScript','non-GNU software and documentation',2,0,0,0,0,NULL,4,4,0,0,'GNU General Public License v2 or later',' 3 - Alpha','2004-09-07'); INSERT INTO `sv_projects` VALUES ('jinn',1576,'\nThis project is not part of the GNU Project.\nThis project has moved.

Unfortunately, the NetCDF package offers little support for what one may consider usual archive operations, such as extracting a particular array (in whole or in part), or accessing the value of an attribute. This package is to fill this gap.\r\n\r\nThe initial revision of the ncget tool was developed back in 2006, and was in active use at the Altai State University ever since. However, it wasn\'t until early 2010 that the package was released for a wider audience.\n\nRegistration Date: Mon Oct 25 21:10:41 2010\nLicense:](\"http://bordel.court-jus.net/games/NetBlocks/img/Snapshot1.jpg\"){kind=link}
