  • Abstract
    Although novel architectures such as cell processors, graphics processors, and FPGAs are growing in popularity, conventional microprocessor designs pack a punch in a small footprint and are widely supported by commodity operating system and development tools. In this installment of Scientific Programming, we\´re going to talk about our initial foray into embedded Linux running on the slug, which is the pet name for the Linksys NSLU2, a home "appliance" aimed at providing network-attached storage.
