Is a Linux supercomputer in your future? (NewsForge)
NewsForge looks at Linux
clusters for small to medium businesses. "Modern clusters allow
everything, including OS and application upgrades, to be scripted, so that
the administration burdens are within the budget reach of mid-size
universities and corporations. Intelligent queuing software is also
starting to have an impact, because it allows jobs to be scheduled and
dispatched to the right hardware at the right time without intercession by
administrators. This also means that researchers and business people don't
have to be computer scientists in order to figure out how to make their
applications run efficiently."

Is a Linux supercomputer in your future? (NewsForge) Posted Aug 26, 2003 21:18 UTC (Tue) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Yes, absolutly !If Simultaneous Multi Threading (SMT) and SMP can merged with NUMA... then the very concept of a LAN can merge with that of a cluster of computers... And it isn't that far away, but for that to happen a DESKTOP WAR must be fought and won.
