Microsoft Message Passing Interface MS MPI is an implementation of the Message Passing Interface MPI 2 specification by Microsoft for use in Windows HPC Server 2008 to interconnect and communicate via messages between High performance computing nodes. It is mostly compatible with the MPICH2 reference implementation, with some exceptions for job launch and management. MS MPI includes bindings for C programming language C and FORTRAN languages. It supports using the Microsoft Visual Studio for debugging purposes. MS MPI can use any physical network, including Gigabit ethernet , Infiniband and Myrinet , for which a Winsock Direct driver has been provided. The Winsock Direct provider bypasses the TCP IP stack of the OS and directly provides access to the networking hardware, using transport protocols tailored for the network type.

nofootnotes date April 2009 In computer networking , a raw socket is a Internet socket socket that allows direct sending and receiving of network packet information technology packets by applications, bypassing all encapsulation in the networking software of the operating system. Overview Most socket application programming interface s APIs , especially those based on Berkeley sockets , support raw sockets. Usually raw sockets receive packets inclusive of the header, as opposed to standard sockets which receive just the packet Payload software payload without headers. When transmitting packets, the automatic addition of a header may be a configurable option of the socket. Support in Windows XP When Microsoft released Windows XP in 2001 with raw socket support implemented in the Winsock interface, the media criticized Microsoft asserting that raw sockets are only of use to hackers to perform TCP reset attack s. Three years after the Windows XP release, Microsoft silently limited Winsock s raw socket support in a non removable hotfix and offered no further support or workarounds for applications that used them. ref http seclists.org nmap hackers 2005 4 Microsoft Tightens the Noose on Raw Sockets ref See also Portal Internet Internet Protocol Internet Protocol Suite References reflist External links http security freak.net raw sockets raw sockets.html Video Tutorials on Programming with Raw Sockets http search.cpan.org skolychev Net RawIP 0.1 RawIP.pm Net RawIP module for Perl applications.

History In the early 1980s, Sean Howard was the editor of the Australian Personal Computer magazine and was running a small electronic mail service called Microtex. In 1992, he sold his share of Computer Publications to ACP and concentrated on Microtex which he renamed OzEmail. At this time, OzEmail based in St Leonards, New South Wales St Leonards , NSW had only 8 staff members and were creating a system to integrate Lotus Software Cc Mail , MicrosoftMail and Novell MHS Mail systems. The initial network consisted of 16 Point of presence POP s around Australia. On 28 May 1996, OzEmail became the first Australian tech stock ever to list on the NASDAQ . With the trading symbol OZEMY, over A 50 million in investment capital was raised. Two years later, OzEmail listed on the Australian Stock Exchange ASX with the symbol OZM. Also in 1996, OzEmail were unsuccessful respondents in a case involving the creators of Winsock Trumpet Winsock regarding intellectual property and trade practices matters http www.austlii.edu.au au cases cth federal ct 1996 560.html . The court found that Sean Howard Mr Howard was closely involved in all stages of the project . Through 1997 and 1998, OzEmail grew at a great rate by acquisitions and aggressive growth while competing with some 850 ISPs. On 14 December 1998, WorldCom later MCI Inc. MCI launched a takeover bid. It was completed on 24 February 1999 when they became 100 owners of OzEmail, removing OzEmail from the NASDAQ and ASX. OzEmail continued its previous strategy of acquiring other companies. Malcolm Turnbull , later an MP, Minister for the Environment and Opposition Leader, was then chairman of OzEmail. He purchased a stake in Ozemail in 1994 for 500,000 and sold his stake for 57 million in 1999 to WorldCom . http www.smh.com.au articles 2002 10 14 1034561094085.html Perth based ISP ... more details

Windsocks typically are used at airport s and at chemical plant s where there is risk of gas eous leak age. They are sometimes located alongside highway s at windy locations. Wind direction is the opposite of the direction in which the windsock is pointing note that wind directions are conventionally specified as being the compass point from which the wind originates so a windsock pointing due north indicates a south erly wind . Windspeed is indicated by the windsock s angle relative to the mounting Flagpole structure pole in low winds, the windsock droops in high winds it flies Horizontal plane horizontal ly. Per Federal Aviation Administration FAA standards referenced below, a convert 15 kn sing on wind will fully extend the properly functioning windsock. A convert 3 kn sing on wind breeze will cause the properly functioning windsock to orient itself according to the wind. At many airport s, windsocks are lighted at night , either by flood light s on top surrounding it or with one mounted on the pole shining inside it.

No footnotes date March 2010 Overlapped I O is an asynchronous I O extension of the Windows API s, which was introduced in Windows NT . Utilizing overlapped I O requires passing an tt OVERLAPPED tt structure to the tt ReadFile tt , tt WriteFile tt , and other otherwise blocking API functions including tt WSASend tt tt WSARecv tt from the Winsock API. The requested operation is initiated by a function call, which returns immediately, and it is completed by the OS in the background. The caller may optionally specify a Win32 Event driven programming event Reference computer science handle to be raised when the operation completes. Alternatively, a program may receive notification of an event via an Input output completion port I O completion port , which is the preferred method of receiving notification when used in symmetric multiprocessing environments or when handling I O on a large number of files or Internet socket sockets . Overlapped I O is particularly useful for sockets and pipeline Unix pipe s. It is not well supported in Windows 9x . The Unix equivalent of overlapped I O is the POSIX asynchronous I O API AIO .

Thunk or thunking refers to the creation of a 16 bit virtual DOS machine VDM within a 32 bit operating platform so that there is backward compatibility for applications using older code or system call s. OS 2 & Windows 16 bit address hack Unreferenced section date April 2008 A flat thunk consists of a DLL or, if bidirectional compatibility is needed, a pair of DLLs one 32 bit and one 16 bit that is used to translate calls from 32 bit code to 16 bit code. 16 and 32 bit memory addresses work very differently 16 bit addresses consist of two parts, a pointer to a memory segment, and the offset from the start of that memory segment whereas a 32 bit process memory pointer consists of the absolute address of the memory being accessed. To allow the two dlls to communicate, some intermediate code must be used to translate memory addresses pointers between platforms. The most common usage is in the Win16 Win32 application programming interface API s, where thunking is used to convert a 16 bit address into a 32 bit equivalent or vice versa. An early example was the 32 bit TCP IP protocol stack for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. Code named Wolverine , this was an early implementation of the TCP IP stack that would later ship with Windows 95 . While not initially shipped with Windows for Workgroups , it was available on the NT 3.51 Server CD as an install disk creation utility at the time, it was more common for IP to be used on 16bit windows via Novell s Internetwork Packet Exchange . To allow this stack to operate with 16 bit applications, a version of the 16 bit winsock winsock.dll library was included that simply thunked WinSock calls into the 32 bit stack. Microsoft later created a mostly complete thunking layer, called Win32s , which allowed 32 bit Windows applications written to a specific subset of the Win32 API , hence the s in Win32s to run on top of 16 bit Windows 3.1x. In many ways, Windows 95 was essentially a full scale expansion of Win32s, because many of th ... more details
In computing , network programming , essentially identical to Internet socket socket programming or client server programming , involves writing computer programs that communicate with other programs across a computer network . The program or process initiating the communication is called a client computing client process, and the program waiting for the communication to be initiated is the Server computing server process. The client and server processes together form a distributed system . The communication between the client and server process may either be connection oriented such as an established Transmission Control Protocol TCP virtual circuit or Session computer science session , or connectionless based on User Datagram Protocol UDP datagrams . A program that can act both as a client and a server is based on peer to peer communication. Sockets are usually implemented by an Application programming interface API library such as Berkeley sockets , first introduced in 1983. Most implementations are based on Berkeley sockets , for example Winsock introduced 1991. Other socket API implementations exist, such as the Streams networking API STREAMS based Transport Layer Interface TLI . These are examples of functions or methods typically provided by the API library code socket code creates a new socket of a certain socket type, identified by an integer number, and allocates system resources to it. code bind code is typically used on the server side, and associates a socket with a socket address structure, i.e. a specified local port number and IP address. code listen code is used on the server side, and causes a bound TCP socket to enter listening state. code connect code is used on the client side, and assigns a free local port number to a socket. In case of a TCP socket, it causes an attempt to establish a new TCP connection. code accept code is used on the server side. It accepts a received incoming attempt to create a new TCP connection from the remote client, an ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 The Sockets Direct Protocol SDP is a networking protocol originally defined by the Software Working Group SWG of the InfiniBand Trade Association . Originally designed for InfiniBand , SDP now has been redefined as a transport agnostic protocol for Remote Direct Memory Access RDMA network fabrics. SDP defines a standard wire protocol over an RDMA fabric to support stream sockets SOCK STREAM network. SDP uses various RDMA network features for high performance zero copy data transfers. SDP is a pure wire protocol level specification and does not go into any socket API or implementation specifics. The purpose of the Sockets Direct Protocol is to provide an RDMA accelerated alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol TCP protocol on Internet Protocol IP . The goal is to do this in a manner which is transparent to the application. Today, Sockets Direct Protocol for the Linux operating system is part of the OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution OFED , a collection of RDMA networking protocols for the Linux operating system. OFED is managed by the OpenFabrics Alliance . Many standard Linux distributions include the current OFED. Oracle Solaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11 Express also include support for SDP. Several other UNIX operating system variants plan to include support for Sockets Direct Protocol. Microsoft Windows offers a similar protocol called Winsock Direct. Sockets Direct Protocol only deals with stream sockets, and if installed in a system, bypasses the OS resident TCP stack for stream connections between any endpoints on the RDMA fabric. All other socket types such as datagram, raw, packet etc. are supported by the Linux IP stack and operate over standard IP interfaces i.e., IPoIB on InfiniBand fabrics . The IP stack has no dependency on the SDP stack however, the SDP stack depends on IP drivers for local IP assignments and for IP address resolution for endpoint identifications. It is used by the Australian telecommunications ... more details
