Guru-friendly: Oracle RAC on Linux

Guru-friendly: Oracle RAC on Linux 08/05/2002 10:44 PM
For a number of years I have been deeply involved with clusters, both of the Linux persuasion and other kinds (see openMosix). I have always been interested in application-layer based clustering products: That is, application software that has clustering built-in. Oracle has offered a clustering product for quite some time; Oracle Parallel Server did, in fact, find a niche market for itself and, if used appropriately for its capabilities (read-only distributed access to databases), it fared quite well. In July 2001—a year ago—Oracle introduced the Real Application Cluster (RAC) option for Oracle9i. RAC aims to exceed the capabilities of the former Parallel Server in the areas of scalability and high availability. To this end, Oracle adapted their Cache Fusion technology for inclusion in RAC. Cache Fusion guarantees cache coherency among multiple cluster nodes (separate Linux boxes running a similarly configured RAC instance) accessing the same databases, without incurring high I/O costs. -- Moshe Bar

"tri" Moshe Bar is entirely correct that RAC will not benefit long-running batch jobs much. This is because batch jobs tend to run as a single user process. However he omits to mention that technologies like RAC probably work best in a multi-user environment with many users performing queries on the database, the typical load of a busy web-site.

Kernel Mode Linux 2.4.31_001 (For Linux
2.4 branch)

Kernel Mode Linux 2.4.31_001 (For Linux
2.4 branch) 06/05/2005 11:23 PM
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.

Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.4.30-ow1
(Linux 2.4 branch)

Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.4.30-ow1
(Linux 2.4 branch) 04/08/2005 10:32 AM
The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security "hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The "hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not see what others are doing.
