Linux++ is an ambitious project from DOS Lab IIT Madras and CDAC Chennai. The aim of the project was to port the Linux Kernel to C++ for increasing understandability, flexibility and the very important one i.e. to enable device driver's written for Windows in C++ to work on Linux with little or no modification in the source code. The workshop will start with a technical talk by Prof. D. Janakiram on this topic. Prof. D Janakiram is an eminent Indian computer scientist with hundreds of research papers in international and national journals and numerous patents. He has researched in almost all the fields of computer science viz. distributed systems, cloud computing, operating system internals, software engineering to name a few. Click here to know more about him.
After the talk there will be a test for participants, after clearing which the participants will undergo a hands on training on Device Driver development in C++ for BOSS MOOL, followed by a competition of 1 month duration, at the end of which developers for the best drivers will be awarded exciting prizes.

Minimalistic Object Oriented Linux(MOOL) presents a novel approach of improving design of the Linux kernel using object oriented wrappers. MOOL aims at reducing the excessive coupling prevalent in the Linux design. The OO wrappers are essentially classes written in C++ that encompass key functions of different subsystems. These wrappers can be used to write device drivers in order to add an extra layer of security between the device drivers and the core kernel. MOOL kernel has been integrated with Bharat Operating System Sulutions (BOSS), an Indian variant of Linux developed by C-DAC. The integrated version BOSS-MOOL is, to the best of our knowledge, the only Linux variant which allows device driver development in C++. Participants will get a free BOSS-MOOL DVD for their experiments.

So, you are not much of a software guy/girl. We bring you a workshop on BlueSpec, the latest high level hardware description language. Bluespec enables the fastest expression and exploration of architecture and microarchitecture. And, as Bluespec is 100% synthesizable, it enables the fastest evaluation of architecture. The workshop will be a fascinating experience for those interested in architecture and VLSI. People with a background in Verilog or VHDL are encouraged to participate. Theoretical aspects of BlueSpec shall be covered, followed by hands-on sessions.

Version control is essential for any programmer/researcher. It lets you cleanly keep various revisions of your document(s), revert to a specific version, share your work and collaborate with others and in the case of Git narrow down where bugs were introduced!!! Say goodbye to these jokes. If you do not currently use version control - TURN UP! If you do use some primitive version control system, you would still find this workshop interesting because the world is switching/has switched to Git. This will be a hands-on workshop that walks you through staging, committing, going back and forth versions, using GitHub, pulling and pushing to repositories, adding remotes, branching and a bit of rebasing. It is targeted towards newbies and those who want to choose Git.

Lumos Media is an ambitious project with the vision of taking the art of photography to the masses. Having seen the need for inexpensive photography tutorials to people who own expensive dSLRs and only use them in the automatic mode, the team of Lumos Media decided to start off with free photography workshops. Lumos Media will be conducting its first workshop at Exebit. It is a 3 hour workshop, with the first two hours focusing on getting to know one\'s camera and the basics of photography and the last hour focusing on editing RAW files using Adobe Light Room.
Pre-requisites
Absolutely no pre-requisites. People with dSLRs and bridge cameras are advised to bring their cameras with them. But a camera is not compulsory for this workshop. Those who are generally interested in photography can attend this workshop.

In the past decade, x86 virtualization has taken the computing world by storm. The x86 platform that was traditionally considered as a non-virtualizable platform, was virtualized by some innovative techniques by VMware. x86 virtualization is so ubiquitous now that it is considered a commodity.
In this talk, we will look at the challenges of virtualizing the x86 platform, compare and contrast full virtualization v/s paravirtualization, look at some of the techniques used to achieve full virtualization. We will also have a detailed look at the hardware assistance provided by the processor vendors to aid virtualization and look at how VMware's virtualization software has evolved to take full advantage of the capabilities provided by the newer generation processors. Towards the end of the talk, we will compare and contrast our native (atop Core server hardware) and hosted (atop an existing Operating System) virtualization offerings and demo of some of the products.

Did you ever look into a Kaleidoscope, when you were a kid? If yes, you must have thought once "How does this work??", but you might not have bothered to design it. Idea is the same here. You will be given some Kaleidoscope, you can rotate it and see the different patterns but challenge is to identify the pattern and design back the Kaleidoscope. In terms of programming, you'll be given an executable and you have to develop the source code that mimics the functionality of the executable. All you have to do is REVERSE CODING.
Please note that Reverse coding winners will have the opportunity to interact with folks at Groupon to explore career options with them.
