Olympus

Olympus Mons or Nix Olympica is the tallest mountain in our solar system located at Planet Mars. Click to Google Mars Map

Olympus Mons (Latin, "Mount Olympus") is the tallest known mountain in our solar system, located on the planet Mars at approximately 18° N 133° W. Before space probes revealed its identity as a mountain, Olympus Mons was known to astronomers as the albedo feature, Nix Olympica ("Snows of Olympus").


It is about three times the height of Mount Everest from sea level and 2.6 times higher than Maune Kea which a dormant volcano locate the Hawaiian Island measured from the base. [Source]

Talking about Olympus, I saw advertisement on two latest Digital Camera from Olympus in theStar newspaper. FE-190 and FE-180 both priced at RM 899 and RM 599. I would love to have FE-190 because it has a sleek and slim metal constructed body measured at 0.7 inches. This six megapixels digital camera features Digital Image Stablization, 2.5 inches LCD screen, built-in help guide and comes with Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery.

Hahahaha, I still have problem in implementing the instant Throughput. Ok, instant throughput is total bits divided by interval time. This methods that I did was based on the instantThroughput.awk script obtained from the Internet. I ran the network simulation with one mobile node moving around but the throughput is constantly at 30 kbps. The funny thing is still at 30 kbps when there are many mobile node during the simulation. I think the reason why this is happening because of the constant packet size, data rate is constant due to the application is pumping a constant bit rate and no variable delay. The simpler reasons are bugs in the code or the person who wrote the code. That's me. haha

MIRAI-SF3.1 does not have any application that uses a bit rate parameter for its interval calculation but MIRAI-SF4.1 does have constant bit rate application. I just need to make a little adjustment to the source code and then integrate into MIRAI-SF3.1. In additon, I need create some applications that generate variable data rate using exponential and pareto distribution. I just need to take a look at NS-2 source code and enhanced the source code in MIRAI-SF3.1.
