It's great if you can explain how to identify those issues as well.
Respected Researchers,
I have six i7 computers with 4 physical cores and each core with 2 threads and all are connected with LAN. Therefore, I want to run the GROMACS in parallel (cluster).
I have successfully mounted them using ssh, nfs and OpenMPI.
Afterwards I successfully installed GROMACS using below command.
cmake .. -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGMX_MPI=ON -DGMX_OPENMP=ON -DGMX_BUILD_UNITTESTS=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=mpicc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=mpicxx -DGMX_BUILD_MDRUN_ONLY=ON
Then I used "mpirun -np 12 gmx_mpi mdrun -ntomp 2 -npme 2" but it run on single computer only.
I think I am doing something wrong. Please help, I am very new in computers and commands.
Thank you
I have a LAN A and LAN B, different subnets. A device "Da" in LAN A wants to send data to another device "Db" in LAN B. There is physical connection (Cat6) between L2 switches of LAN A and LAN B. However there is no router in this architecture. Can the device "Da" ping or send data to device "Db" in this architecture ? Would be thankful for an answer or guidance ... The LAN I am talking about is the Ethernet IP LAN, IPv4 network.
What is meant by Network Segmentation, VLAN & VLAN Segment?
Thanks. :)

It's great if you can explain how to identify those issues as well.
Can someone explain me what are the common layer 3 problems that happen in a network? specially in SOHO environment if possible.
Fog Computing vs. Edge Computing?
What's the difference in the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The fundamental objective of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to obtain and analyze data from assets that were previously disconnected from most data processing tools.
This data is generated by physical assets or things deployed at the very edge of the network—such as motors, light bulbs, generators, pumps, and relays—that perform specific tasks to support a business process. The Internet of Things is about connecting these unconnected devices (things) and sending their data to the cloud or Internet to be analyzed.
In traditional IoT cloud architecture, all data from physical assets or things is transported to the cloud for storage and advanced analysis. Once in the cloud, the data is used for cognitive prognostics (that is, predictive maintenance, forensic failure analysis and process optimization).
Fog and edge computing in manufacturing and automation applications are network and system architectures that attempt to collect, analyze, and process data from these assets more efficiently than traditional cloud architecture. These architectures share similar objectives:
- To reduce the amount of data sent to the cloud
- To decrease network and Internet latency
- To improve system response time in remote mission-critical applications.
However, there is a key difference between the two concepts. Both fog computing and edge computing involve pushing intelligence and processing capabilities down closer to where the data originates—at the network edge. The key difference between the two architectures is exactly where that intelligence and computing power is placed.
- Fog computing pushes intelligence down to the local area network (LAN) level of network architecture, processing data in a fog node or IoT gateway.
- Edge computing pushes the intelligence, processing power, and communication capabilities of an edge gateway or appliance directly into devices like PACs (programmable automation controllers).
In both architectures data is generated from the same source—physical assets such as pumps, motors, relays, sensors, and so on. These devices perform a task in the physical world such as pumping water, switching electrical circuits, or sensing the world around them. These are the “things” that make up the Internet of Things.
Fog computing
In fog computing, transporting data from things to the cloud requires many steps.
- First the electrical signals from things are traditionally wired to the I/O points of an automation controller (PLC or PAC). The automation controller executes a control system program to automate the things.
- Next the data from the control system program is sent to an OPC server or protocol gateway, which converts the data into a protocol Internet systems understand, such as MQTT or HTTP.
- Then the data is sent to another system, such as a fog node or IoT gateway on the LAN, which collects the data and performs higher-level processing and analysis. This system filters, analyzes, processes, and may even store the data for transmission to the cloud or WAN at a later date.
So fog computing involves many layers of complexity and data conversion. Its architecture relies on many links in a communication chain to move data from the physical world of our assets into the digital world of information technology. In a fog computing architecture, each link in the communication chain is a potential point of failure.
Edge computing
Edge computing simplifies this communication chain and reduces potential points of failure.
In edge computing, physical assets like pumps, motors, and generators are again physically wired into a control system where the PAC automates them by executing an onboard control system program. Intelligent PACs with edge computing capabilities collect, analyze, and process data from the physical assets they’re connected to—at the same time they’re running the control system program.
PACs then use edge computing capabilities to determine what data should be stored locally or sent to the cloud for further analysis. In edge computing, intelligence is literally pushed to the network edge, where our physical assets or things are first connected together and where IoT data originates.
Edge computing saves time and money by streamlining IoT communication, reducing system and network architecture complexity, and decreasing the number of potential failure points in an IoT application. Reducing system architecture complexity is key to the success of IIoT applications.
Dear RG Colleagues,
I have large number of music and pictures in CD-ROMs. I need to build LAN network accessed storage using of-the-shelf components.
What are the needed components for hardware and software?
I am good in Linux and I think It is easier and cheaper for me.
Your help please.
We have a Thermo TSQ Quantum Ultra and Agilent 1200 LC system. The LAN Card was installed on LC 1200 Pump. Version of Xcalibur is 2.2. Recently the communication between Xcalibur and LC system was lost. We replaced the LAN card. The network is showing connected by Pinging IP for each component. Lab advisor can talk to Agilent LC components without any problem. However, Xcalibur still has problem connecting to LC components and always shows server failed or detached. Then, we reinstalled Xcalibur. But still it did not fix the problem.
If you know anything about this, please provide any comments and ideas. Thanks so very much.
- I want to know how to connect the chassis to a network and at the same time being on a remote desktop to acquire the signals. How will the remote desktop recognize the chassis so that i can get the signals ?
The e-Learning at many islands of South Pacific and elsewhere, is accessible only via Satellite upload and download links connecting on earth WAN, MAN and LAN computer networks infrastructures.
How can configure two network connections in one Desktop computer like 1. Intranet for LAN and 2. for Internet connection?
We have two network connection in our organization:
1. for Intranet only for inside organization
2. for Internet for sending email for outside the world.
How I can use or configure the two networks in one computer in one time?
I have a 96 microtiter plate containing saline about 10 cm from a wifi router. Both are contained in an incubator held at 25 C. There is no thermal effect from the router on the microtiter plate. Each of the cells in the 96 plate contain 300 uL of saline.
The router is a Linksys E1200 (2.4 GHz). It states an output power of 19 dBm which is around 100mW. The antenna gain is 4 dbi.
I understand that there are a few bands associated with 2.4GHz. Is the output power stated about per band or shared between the bands?
The antenna gain suggests some directional. I guess that the main lobe in the wifi distribution is perpendicular to the front side of the unit. Is this correct?
Since my incubator is metallic, am I going to see some standing waves?
When the router is initially turned on (with no LAN connection) there is still a signal. When I connect the LAN cable the green light flashes at the rear of the unit.
What is the difference in signal that my saline sees with the 3 cases of no LAN connection, LAN connection and no active use, and LAN connection and, say downloading videos?
Thanks.
I am working on a paper and i need a network simulation software that can support my building of a proposed LAN with VLAN configurations and Bandwidth analysis and graphical interpretations. I hope to get a help.

Please provide a circuit {using easily available discrete components} so that computer's LAN [ethernet] port's bit stream can be interfaced to be converted to drive an LED. In a nutshell, a circuit on breadboard acting as Ethernet to 2 wire/TTL converter. Please attach authentic references also, if possible.
I would like to draw a diagram of the performances of the known LAN, MAN and WAN networks based on the technologies used, the standards, the distance reached and the capacities. I know someone could answer about the wireless context. Is it possible to give me more informations in the context of optical fiber also? Please help ! Thank you all :)
GRID computing, how to setup a grid computing over the local area network (LAN). In case of molecular dynamic software, is it possible with gromacs or NAMD to use grid computing to increase the computation power required during md simulation.
Is there any other molecular dynamic software capable of utilizing the grid computing facility.
I want to know how we can create a cloud GIS based on local network, and what we need to do it.
Is there an application that could tell the web pages visited by each user in my LAN?
Performance metrics are very important: Bandwidth, delay , latency , RTT, throughput,
utilization, etc.
I want to do it without any software, I am using jpcap library and Java programming.
I am getting header in form of some junk characters as you can see in the attached image.
