The APIW Standard is a functional specification of the Microsoft Windows 3.1 application programming interface. It is based on existing implementations (including Microsoft and others) and behavior. The goal of writing this specification is to define an environment in which: − applications written to this baseline will be portable to all implementations of the APIW Standard. − the interface can be enriched through open standards processes to meet current and future user needs in a timely fashion. APIW uses the current C language binding, and reflects existing coding practices to ensure that current applications will conform to this standard. The APIs documented in this standard shall accurately reflect existing implementations of the windows APIs. If an application that runs with an existing implementation uses one or more APIs contrary to the way it is described in the standard, the standard will be changed to accurately reflect the behavior. The APIW Standard defines a set of application programming interfaces that allow for the creation of graphical applications spanning a wide range of capabilities. The standard groups these APIs into major functional areas including a window manager interface, a graphics device interface and interfaces necessary for accessing system resources and capabilities. The API requirements of today’s major desktop applications are reflected in this specification and are the criteria for determining the APIW content. The APIW Standard focuses on providing the necessary APIs for writing applications for the desktop, and also allows

Measuring and controlling the power and energy consumption of high performance computing systems by various components in the software stack is an active research area [13, 3, 5, 10, 4, 21, 19, 16, 7, 17, 20, 18, 11, 1, 6, 14, 12]. Implementations in lower level software layers are beginning to emerge in some production systems, which is very welcome. To be most effective, a portable interface to measurement and control features would significantly facilitate participation by all levels of the software stack. We present a proposal for a standard power Application Programming Interface (API) that endeavors to cover the entire software space, from generic hardware interfaces to the input from the computer facility manager.

This paper describes architecture and development of an open application programming interface (API) prototype for injection molding machines (IMMs), useable for sensor and machine/process data logging and setting necessary process parameter values. The API is based on PCMEF (presentation, control, domain and foundation) architectural framework and OSI 7 layer communication model. The interface allows to retrieve values of up to 97 machine and process parameters. It also includes a module for acquisition of data from additional sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors installed in the mold. Industrial Raspberry Pi (RevPi) is used to perform analog-to-digital signal conversion and makes sensors data accessible via the API. Logging of different parameters from the machine and from sensors is synchronized and sampling frequency can be adjusted if necessary. Depending on chosen frequency, the system can provide real-time or soft real-time communication. The interface allows to build a distributed computer-based system, which gives benefit over the use of a PLC system with respect to Industry 4.0 standards.

Network monitoring is becoming essential to be able to support network infrastructure and grid middleware information for eScience users. We are collaborating with groups from UKERNA, DANTE, Internet2 and SLAC to provide a platform from which future networks, and specifically Grid enabled networks can produce and consume information about the network itself. By installing Performance Measurement Points placed beside routers within collaborating networks, we also aim to present a more in depth picture of the internal status of the internet. Utilising Web Service and OGSA technologies, and implementing standards from the GGF, we will provide means by which network administrators, engineers and network users can query and produce information about the network state such that it enables both skilled and unskilled users to quickly and efficiently identify potential bottlenecks in a complete end-to-end system. By exposing the performance capabilities of the network to Grid applications, the UCL Network Centre of Excellence will provide a means whereby network users and grid applications can significantly improve the likelihood that Grid applications can operate at peak performance and thereby advance the productivity of academic researchers around the globe.

Abstract Automation in microscopy is the key to success in long and complex experiments. Most microscopy manufacturers provide Application Programming Interfaces (API) to enable communication between a user-defined program and the hardware. Although APIs effectively allow the development of complex routines involving hardware control, the developers need to build the applications from basic commands. Here we present a Software Development Kit (SDK) for easy control of Focussed Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopes (FIB/SEM) microscopes. The SDK, which we named OpenFIBSEM consists of a suite of building blocks for easy control that simplify the development of complex automated workflows.

The importance of using the performance application programming interface (PAPI) for performance monitoring is discussed. To facilitate the development of portable performance tools, PAPI provides interfaces to get information about the execution environment. It also provides methods to obtain a complete listing of what performance monitoring (PM) events are available for monitoring. PAPI's goal is to expose real hardware performance information to users, which will help in eliminating most of the guesswork regarding the root cause of a code's performance problem.
