For mobile Linux developers, the presentation and handling of applications presents a significant challenge compared to the PC desktop. User expectations are vastly different, in part because screen size, and keyboard are all more constricted. These factors, in turn, affect how applications are installed, displayed, launched and exited, as well as how the applications themselves share data and are notified of events. For all of this, Linux alone is not enough, which is why ACCESS ....

Downloading and trying out a software demonstration can be frustrating, because users must often search for and install supporting programs and compatible libraries. Additionally, users must initialize and setup the unfamiliar software such that it demonstrates something interesting. The creator of the software demonstration, for example a researcher, can reduce some of the frustrations by reducing dependencies, providing automatic installation scripts, and making the user interface simple enough for a novice user. Clear instructions that ....

Mac OS X Darwin and Ubuntu Linux: Comparison of Some Common Operating System Algorithms
[ Source: Carnegie Mellon University ]
January 2008-
This research paper from Carnegie Mellon University conducted a basic numerical analysis of the Macintosh OS X Darwin kernel and Ubuntu Linux 2.6 kernel by testing several different aspects inherent to the operating system. To exercise file I/O handling they examined the repeated creation of small text files. They also examined disk cache behavior by attempting to overflow the cache with junk data. To test memory duress response, they exposed the kernel to malignant processes ....
Realtime Audio Vs. Linux 2.6

From the beginning of its development kernel 2.6 promised latency as low as a patched 2.4 kernel. These claims proved to be premature when testing of the 2.6.7 kernel showed it was much worse than 2.4. This paper presents a review of the most significant latency problems discovered and solved by the kernel developers with the input of the Linux audio community between the beginning of this informal collaboration in July 2004 around kernel 2.6.7 ....
