LOBOS (Linux Os Boots OS) is a system call that allows a running Linux kernel to boot a new kernel, without leaving 32-bit protected mode and, in particular, without using the BIOS in any way. This capability in turn allows Linux to be used as a network bootstrap program and even as a BIOS, both of which we are working on now. In this paper we discuss how LOBOS works, how we use it, and how LOB...

Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...
