→Courses Related to the OSTEP Program
The OSTEP chairholder is [[User:Chris Tyler|Chris Tyler]]; the term of the IRCC grant is March 2012 to March 2017.
We are grateful to NSERC for their strong support of the OSTEP program.
== Linux on 64-Bit ARM Enterprise Systems ==
The main thrust of the OSTEP research is on Linux-based software for 64-bit ARM computer systems. These systems have the potential to reduce the power, space, and cooling requirements of datacentre server systems, and introduce new levels of competition between server architectures (we've had one dominant architecture for a while, which has led to reduced innovation and development).
== LEAP: Linux for Enterprise ARM Platforms ==
The LEAP project produces an experimental Linux distribution for ARM64 platforms. Information on this project is hosted at http://leapproject.ca
=== AArch64 Porting and Optimizations ===
== Pidora, the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix ==
The OSTEP project maintains [[Pidora]]for a while, a Raspberry Pi Remix which combines combined the Fedora ARM software with proprietary software and some hardware-specific packages to support the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] $20-35 educational computer. This software is was built at [[CDOT]] in Toronto.
== Build, Compose, and Release Technologies ==
We are using this expertise to help local industry partners accelerate and automate their Build & Release cycles.
== Industry Partnerships ==
All of the applied research performed in the OSTEP program is in collaboration with an industry partner. The industry partner contributes a combination of expertise, equipment, and/or cash in support of the applied research, and where eligible, NSERC contributes an equivalient amount in cash.
=== Current Industry Partners ===
The OSTEP project is proud to collaborate with these current partners:
* Providers of ARM64 computer systems and components.
* NexJ Systems, a Toronto-based supplier of cloud CRM solutions for the financial, healthcare, and insurance industries.
* Alteeve's Niche!, Inc, a Toronto-based supplier of intelligent availability systems.
* A range of other local companies.
=== Previous Industry Partners ===
Red Hat was the initial industry partner for the OSTEP project.
== Courses Related to the OSTEP Program ==
These courses are related to OSTEP:
* [[SPO600]] - Software Portability and Optimization
* [[SBR600]] - Software Build and Release - '''Temporarily replaced by SPO600, above.'''
== Opportunities for Working with the OSTEP Program ==
