Burning an USB drive with a Moblin v2 Beta image in Windows

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:01:25 -0700

This video shows how to burn a Moblin v2 Beta image in an USB drive in Windows 7. The steps are very similar for Windows Vista and Windows XP.
As most netbooks and MIDs don't offer the possibilty to read a CD, it is very convenient to use a USB drive to boot Moblin v2 Beta.
However, the process is a bit complicated, because the USB drive contents are not compatible with Windows. Therefore, it is confusing for Windows users.
You need a USB drive with at least 1 GB total capacity.

You can download the latest Moblin image file (.img extension) from http://moblin.org/documentation/test-drive-moblin

You can check detailed instructions at http://moblin.org/documentation/test-drive-moblin/using-moblin-live-image

You have to download the Win 32 Disk Imager application in order to byte-write the image in the USB drive from http://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/0.2/0.2/+download/win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.2-r23-win32.zip

Following the steps, you'll be able to have a bootable Moblin v2 USB drive.

Note: If you want to use the USB drive with its full capacity available again, most of the times, you'll need to format it again two times. The first time, the capacity will be the same than the capacity used for the Moblin v2 image (more than 700 MB). The second time you format the USB drive, it will retrieve its full capacity.

Booting Moblin v2 beta live image using an USB drive

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:18:02 -0700

ASUS EeePC 1005HA has a Boot Booster option in the CMOS SETUP. Its default value is Enabled. When this option is enabled, the system boots too fast. Therefore, the user isn't able to choose a different boot drive.
Once you have burned an USB drive with a Moblin v2 image, you can follow the steps shown in the video in order to boot a live Moblin v2 image.
This video is based on an ASUS EeePC 1005HA. However, the same steps can be used for many other ASUS EeePC netbook models.
ASUS EeePC 1005HA uses an Intel(R) Atom(TM) N270 microprocessor @ 1.60GHz with Hyper-Threading.

Intel® Parallel Clubhouse Event at Brooklyn Technical Highschool

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:01:49 -0700

Can 15 technical high school students solve complex parallel programming challenges, typically reserved for advanced university courses? A three-day boot-camp hosted by the Intel® Academic Community and the Brooklyn Technical High School with industry experts and executives will put top programming students in New York City to the challenge through real-life experiences and interactive exercises. 32-core server technology will be provided by IBM and networking by BLADE Network Technologies.

Bob Chesebrough, Senior Course Architect with the Intel Academic Community built a collaborative team, with Jeffrey M. Birnbaum, and Randy Asher, Principal of the Brooklyn Technical High School and Vice President of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Math, Science & Technology to implement the clubhouse with top technical high school students in New York.

The 3-day boot-camp kicked off with interactive exercises using real world experiences (such as standing in lines at a store) to introduce students to parallel programming concepts including race conditions and for loops (see video guide to these challenges). Each day, students were given a Parallel Programming Puzzle to ponder, and discuss a real-world software developer solution the following day.

Instruction for the boot camp was provided by Intel engineers and executives, using the latest software development tools, including Intel® Parallel Studio; and concluded with Jeffrey M. Birnbaum presenting on advanced lock-free programming techniques showcasing database applications running on a 32-core server system on loan from IBM, with high-performance Ethernet connectivity provided by BLADE Network Technologies. BLADE is hosting the servers in its world-class data center networking lab in Silicon Valley.

The curriculum was adapted from undergraduate and graduate materials created by the Intel Academic Community currently being implemented by professors at 1350 universities in 72 countries. This is the first time the curriculum has been adapted to the high school level.
