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."

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.
