Test module didn't work correctly

I'm currently using;
- Debian 4.0r0 GNU/Linux
- Icarus Verilog version 0.8

The test module didn't work correctly. After I changed following line;
reg clk;
to
reg clk = 0;
it's finally work.

Icarus is a fantastic tool. It substitutes
for a $100,000 per seat tool from others.
It does not have limits like other demos,
its a full simulator. Supports $dumpfile
so you can generate waveforms. Runs on
Win95 even. Highly reliable.

Just in case you are tempted. Do NOT try www.icarus.org in your browser. It is some nasty- non-work-safe low rate porn. Arghhhh.
Make sure you use the link:

Once I have this installed on my machine, I will run an artical following up on my site.

Its been some time, and I found this old posting of my mine through a google links search.

Icarus verilog is now probably included with your linux dist somewhere- most definately with gentoo. It is pretty useful - and I have been learning a great deal about using verilog and VHDL languages to program robots - or more specifically create purpose built logic platforms as opposed to using microcontrollers.

Now what is needed for linux is a good integrated EDA suite - so I would advise Electronic Engineers to watch gEDA and contribute if possible(k-logic I think is dead).

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
