The team just gave a very well recieved tutorial at the Summer 2012 Joint Techs conference at Stanford University. At this tutorial we demonstrated a new version of the Web10G kernel and API. This version of the kernel will be made available to everyone by Wednesday July 18th. We also believe we will have another release later this week that will include support for the CUBIC, BIC, and H-TCP congestion control algorithims.

The Web10G team is pleased to announce the availablity of Web10G patches for Linux kernels 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 under the Software section of www.web10g.org. These patch sets include the necessary kernel patches, the loadable kernel module, sample client software, and the required libmnl library. The patches, like 3.1, no longer make use of the /proc interface but instead provide user access to kernel data through the netlinks interface. This change significantly decreases the overhead associated with instrumenting the TCP stack.

The Web10g team is pleased to announce that the alpha release of our TCP stack instrumentation kernel modules is now available as a patch and git source. You can find it under the 'Software' tab in the Kernel Patches section. It is currently available for the linux 3.1.0 kernel.

We've made some changes here at web10g.org that we hope will make the site more accessible and usable to the web10g community.

PITTSBURGH, PA., September 9, 2010 — The Three Rivers Optical Exchange (3ROX), the advanced network research group at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, has received a $980,000 Software Development for Cyberinfrastructure (SDCI) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The award, from NSF's Office of Cyberinfrastructure, is for a three-year project called "Web10Gig" that will develop network software to enable ordinary users to effectively use advanced networks.Web10Gig builds on an earlier successful project called Web100 that ended in 2003 and produced prototype software still heavily used. PSC partnered on Web100 with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (in Colorado) and with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (NCSA), and on Web10Gig is again partnering with NCSA, which received a $200,000 award from NSF for the new project.

"The potential broader impact of Web10Gig is huge," said PSC director of networking Wendy Huntoon. "IIt can make it easy for users from the broadest range of fields and technical abilities to use the network to its full capacity. Eliminating many common network problems will have a transformative effect for researchers in many disciplines."
