Top 500 supers - rise of the Linux quad-cores
nessuno
The fall edition of the list was announced this morning at the SC09
supercomputing trade show in Portland, Oregon. The single biggest
transition in the list is the move to quad-core - and in some notable
cases, six-core - processors inside supercomputing systems. And most
of the machines on the list now run Linux with x64 processors.

Damn, he is not bashing MS? He must have gotten out of the wrong side of

Just one:
"Gates also announced that, as part of the company’s steps toward
realizing this vision, Microsoft is funding joint research projects at 10
academic centers worldwide and has released the beta 2 version of
Windows® Compute Cluster Server 2003, Microsoft’s first product offering
for high-performance computing."

Ah - thanks for the link.
I went to

It seems to be dated November 15, 2005?
That being the case, presumably you are telling me that Linux won't last
long now in the Super-Computer OS field, and that Windows will be taking
over soon? :-)

In another post 7" screens on substandard HW is more than anyone needs

Classic. Mind you CE is a heap of junk.
Mr. Majestic
Can someone explain what the hell bbgruff and this moron Wintrolls Lie
are talking about?
Neither one of those jackasses know what clustered computing, mirroring
of fail-over is about and have no clue about it in enterprise level
computing infrastructures, none whatsoever.

They are giving each other a reach around because despite running
machines they scavenged from a dumpster diving session they get a woody
when thinking of something like WOPR from War Games running Linux and
sitting there in a really big cellar saying in a high pitched synth
voice "Greeting Wintrolls Lie - Would you lie to play a game?".
It's all very sad.

Does this moron know what clustered SQL servers are about running on Win
2k3 servers, Win 2k8 servers or Win 7 servers?
Does he know what distributed computing is about, using COM+ or .NET
Remoting?

...that would be for something like basic failover and data federation.
That has about as much to do with serious clustering as a bicycle has to
do with serious freight transport with trains or 18-wheelers.

Exactly. Microsoft's original clustering implementation was (and is) a
complete misnomer, a marketing lie. It is failover. In no way is it a way
to distribute the computing load.

And even Microsoft failover doesn't behave as advertised. The notification
for a resource recovery would come in and... you still had to wait a few
seconds before you could actually access the resource.

You dumb *clown* home user, you know nothing about this. So don't
pretend that you do idiot.
You go cluster a piece of toast, a cup of coffee, and sweep your floors.
You cluster that.

Idiot, how to do you know? You have never seen a Win 2k3 server running
SQL server fail over in a sever cluster.

Thanks. As a result my kill filter on The Bee is now updated.

Furse should not resign, she should be sacked
,----[ Quote ]
| Comment The farce of the London Stock Exchange not only crashing but failing
| to get its systems up and running again should surprise no one.
|
| Well, no one except LSE boss Clara Furse, who demonstrates little
| understanding that technology is crucial to her business.
|
| I’ve worked for members of the London Stock Exchange and everyone agrees she
| is world-class at corporate presentations, but the evidence that she can
| actually run things is rather harder to come by.
|
| No one expects her to write FIX handlers, or optimise an order-matching
| engine, but her yes-men simply were not in the position to make any
| intelligent decisions on technology, if we look at the board of the LSE.
|
| Do we see anything that even looks like experience in technology? No. We see
| three from the media, and of course accountancy, but no mention of
| technology.
|
| To be sure, the CIO (not on the board) is ex-Accenture man David Lester. To a
| Reg reader, Accenture will be associated in the context of technology with
| the words “screw up”, “late”, and “over budget”. Clara Furse cannot be held
| responsible for problems with Cisco switches - one of the suggested
| culprits - but she is absolutely in the frame for the choice of senior
| management and strategic vendors.
