Seneca College has been awarded an [http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Professors-Professeurs/RPP-PP/IRCC-CRIC_eng.asp NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges] (IRCC) grant for OSTEP research.
The OSTEP chairholder is [[User:Chris Tyler|Chris Tyler]]; the term of the IRCC grant is March 2012 to March 20172023.
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 was originally 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). From the knowledge gained in this research, we have branched out into:* DevOps (Software Development + Operations) technologies and techniques* Super-Embedded Systems* Software Performance Optimization (speed/size/power consumption)
== LEAP: Linux for Enterprise ARM Platforms ==
The LEAP project produces produced an experimental Linux distribution for ARM64 platforms. Information based on this project is hosted at http://leapprojectCentOS.ca
=== AArch64 Porting and Optimizations ===
Current Linux on 64-ARM work is focused on completing some of the few remaining package ports, and optimizing performance on ARM64/AArch64.
=== Fedora ARM ===
== Pidora, the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix ==
The OSTEP project maintains maintained [[Pidora]] for a while, a Raspberry Pi Remix which 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 was built at [[CDOT]] in Toronto.
== Build, Compose, and Release Technologies ==
The OSTEP project is proud to collaborate with these current partners:
* Providers of ARM64 computer systems and components.
* Alteeve's Niche!, Inc, a Toronto-based supplier of intelligent availability systems.
* A range of other local companies.
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 ==
