Is there anyplace where one can download a virtual machine containing a working install of some Linux distro with Globus Toolkit and some development tools (Java) for testing purposes? A real deployment of a grid is more complicated but I just need something portable, for development. ...
I'd love to have the freedom to use various languages for the problems they work best for but I'm not sure how this can be accomplished today. I have had a fair amount of success using web services as the language abstraction layer and that works great... but it's slower than molasses even using localhost. Steve Yegge has talked about ...
We are using standard items such as Hard Disk and CPU ID to lock our software licenses to physical hardware. How can we reduce the risk of customers installing onto a virtual machine and then cloning the virtual machine, bypassing our licensing? ...
I am using virtual machines for development,but each time I need a new VM, I copy the file and create a new server, but I need a new name for the server to add it to our network. After renaming the server, the Sharepoint sites have many errors and do not run. ...
I have a need to run a relatively large number of virtual machines on a relatively small number of physical hosts. Each virtual machine isn't doing to much - each only needs to run essentially one basic network service - think SMTP or the like. Furthermore, the load on each is going to be extremely light. Unfortunately, the numbers are...
What exactly are the advantages and disadvantages to using a register-based virtual machine versus using a stack-based virtual machine? To me, it would seem as though a register based machine would be more straight-forward to program and more efficient. So why is it that the JVM, the CLR, and the Python VM are all stack-based? ...
I recently build myself a semi beef up PC (Q9450, 8GB DDR2 1066, 1TB HDD, Dual 8600GT, Vista Ultimate and Dual 22' Monitors) and I'm evaluating whether i should develop on a VPC/VMWare session on top of Vista or not? One benefit i can see is that i can run the same VM on my Vista laptop so my development environment is the same on any o...
I have a virtual machine (made with vmware) with a linux ubuntu os installed on it (i have a series of them), with NAT network connection - i am running vmware on Windows XP (my host system); the virtual machine can't connect to the internet. All the vmware services seem to be working fine from windows point of view, but inside the machi...
nVidia released their CUDA API allowing developers to utilize their graphics cards, taking advantage of the massively parallel architecture and vectorized operations. Libraries such as pyCUDA were created to allow developers of scripting languages to send selected code to the GPU. And there has been a growing effort to design multi-ling...
I've been getting some OutOfMemory errors lately in my application. Is it possible to detect ahead of time when the virtual machine is running low on memory? In other words to preemptively deal with OutOfMemory errors before they actually occur? ...
I'm writing a Flash game, pretty intensive on CPU. Besides optimizing it a lot, I would like to be able to play it as players on slow PC's will, because I have a good CPU and I would like to make it also playable on bad CPU's First I thought that virtualization would help, but I've tried vmware player with an ubunto image and I can't f...
Hello my machine is a XEON cpu 1.4 ghz with 128 mb of ram, it is running windows xp and I need to use linux ocasionally, for some reasons I cannot install linux and I cannot use a bootable distribution such as knoppix, so my question is can anyone recommend me a virtual machine software to load a simple linux without gui?. I have ben try...
I'm looking for some resources regarding the virtual machines of the future (Like jvm or clr) What are they going to look like? Will they provide a concurrent runtime, more powerful metaprogramming models? I'm looking for articles, research projects, or pure speculation, anything that is going to be an interesting read. So if you have...
I'm looking for a VM management solution that will allow me to easily maintain VMs in a single repository accessible on the corporate intranet. I'm currently looking into VMware's vCenter, HP's Manager, Microsoft's VM Manager. vCenter seems to require an ESX server, which I'm not very happy about. I haven't looked into others yet. Bu...
I need some resources for implementing a simple virtual machine and interpreted language. Something that is pratical is most useful. I have read the Virtual Machine Implementation book and found that it is quite old and doesn't represent the vms I see today. Also if someone know of a fairly simplistic language that would be great as w...
Background: I work at a start-up company, where one team uses Virtual Machines to connect to a remote server to do their development, and another team (the team I'm on) uses local IIS/SQL Server 2005/Visual Studio installations to conduct work. Team VM is located about 1000 miles from Team Non-VM, and the servers the VMs run off of a...
When testing our software on several different systems (98-XP-Vista-Seven-Linux-etc), I think that the best choice is to use virtualized systems. What's your choice: VMware, Virtual Box or MS Virtual PC/Server? and why? ...
What is the best way to have a virtual operating system have a static IP address in VMWware. I would like to keep the IP address static since it is a virtual server. ...
As a sort of follow up to the questions called "Differences between MSIL and Java bytecode?" what is the (major) differences or similarity in how the Java Virtual Machine works versus how the .NET Framwork Common Language Runtime (CLR) works? Also, is the .NET framework CLR a "virtual machine" or does it not have the attributes of a vir...
Is it better to have a Build Server in a virtual machine? Do the benefits of having a build server in a VM outweigh the costs? ...
