| #rev 2020-09-02 davidsch = Programming = <<TableOfContents(2)>> == Programming language literature == On the [[https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books.md|free Ebook foundation website]], you will find an overview of a bunch of programming e-books (PDF/ HTML) free of charge for almost any language in the areas of * '''Regular programming''' (e.g. C, C++, C#, Java, Go, MATLAB, PHP, Rust, Scala, ...) * '''Scripting''' (e.g. JavaScript, make, Perl, Python, R, Ruby, Unix/ Windows Shells, SQL, ...) * '''Document rendering''' (e.g. HTML, CSS, LaTeX, ...) * '''Multiprocessing/ parallel computing APIs''' (e.g. OpenMP, ...) * '''Programming related tools''' (e.g. Git, Subversion, Mercurial, Jenkins) == OpenGL == === Compiling OpenGL/ NVidia CUDA-based applications on Debian Linux === The Debian platform managed by ISG.EE uses the following directory layout for the OpenGL libraries and headers: Libraries: {{{ The /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL*.so OpenGL libraries are symbolic links to the hardware-specific libraries. There is a mechanism in the starup process of each client workstation which detects the accurate OpenGL library based on the information about the graphics card and the kernel driver. The CUDA runtime libraries are found in the same directory. }}} Header Files: {{{ The OpenGL headers are found under /usr/include/GL. For NVidia programming, a CUDA toolkit that should work with the installed NVidia graphics card is installed (CUDA headers in /usr/include). }}} Compiling sources and linking against the NVidia libraries: {{{ No special CFLAGS/ CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS must be set. The required headers and libraries are all found under the standard system paths. If you use an own OpenGL/ CUDA toolkit, e.g. installed in your home, make sure it is compatible with the graphics driver/ hardware installed on the system. Then set CFLAGS (standard C programming, e.g. compiling with gcc) and/ or CXXFLAGS (C++ programming, e.g. compiling with g++) and LDFLAGS as follows: Assume you have installed the toolkit under /home/$USER/toolkit, then set the mentioned environment variables in your Debian shell (bash, tcsh, ...) as follows, before you start compiling/ linking: export CFLAGS="-I/home/$USER/toolkit/include" export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS" export LDFLAGS="-L/home/$USER/toolkit/lib -Wl,-rpath,/home/$USER/toolkit/lib" $USER must of course be replaced with your ETH (login-) username. }}} == Perl == * Please use the default perl (/usr/bin/perl) that is installed on all Debian Linux computers. * If you use older perl interpreters from other directories, you should switch to the default perl interpreter. * A bunch of most-often used perl modules is installed with the default perl interpreter. == Network Programming == * [[http://www.hu.freebsd.org/hu/doc/psd/20.ipctut/paper.html|An introductory 4.4BSD interprocess communication tutorial]] To aid the programmer in developing programs which are comprised of cooperating processes, the different choices are discussed and a series of example programs are presented. by Stuart Sechrest [[http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/|Beej's Guide to network programming]] This document should give the average competent C programmer the edge s/he needs to get a grip on this networking noise. * [[http://www.uwo.ca/its/doc/courses/notes/socket/index.html|An Introduction to socket programming]] These course notes are directed at Unix application programmers who want to develop client/server applications in the TCP/IP domain. [[http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/|Unix socket programming]] Amongst other things, this is the home of the unix-socket-faq. == X11 == * [[http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.framed.html|X11 Programming]] X is a graphical network based windows systems, it was developed from MIT in 1984. This system gives the basis for many Unix windows systems. [[http://qt-project.org/|Qt GUI Toolkit]] Qt is the C++ library which builds the base of KDE. Qt is the ideal starting point for your graphical unix applications. Qt is installed on Tardis. [[http://www.gtk.org/|GTK+ GUI Toolkit]] GTK+ was initially developed for and used by the [[http://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]], the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Therefore, it is named "The GIMP Toolkit", so that the origins of the project are remembered. Today GTK+ is used by a large number of applications, and is the toolkit used by the GNU project's [[http://www.gnome.org/|GNOME]] desktop. == Debugger == Unfortunately, it is difficult to write bug-free programs. A good debugger is very helpful tracking down errors. On the Tardis cluster we recommend to use the Data Display Debugger (DDD). DDD supports a variety of programming languages: Ada, C, C++, Chill, Fortran, Java, Modula, Pascal, Perl, Python. For a current list go to the DDD manual (man ddd). == Database programming == If you want to learn about database design and programming you can get an account on our MySQL database server. Get in touch with us and let us know what your plans are. The address of our database server is {{{remi.ee.ethz.ch}}} where mysql runs on the default port (3306). For database configuration and setup tasks you can also make use of our [[http://mysql.ee.ethz.ch/|phpMyAdmin]] setup. * [[http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/mysql|Swiss MySQL mirror site]] MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. SQL is the most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon mysqld and many different client programs and libraries. ---- [[CategoryLXSW]] |
