The Future of HPC Clusters
|
Thursday September 29 2005 @ 12:32PM EDT views: 61
Linux Magazine: High-performance computing (HPC) using clusters has come a long, long way from its early days. Back then, a cluster was a network of disparate workstations, which often sat on people’s desks, harnessed together into a Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) computation. Back then, nascent Beowulf clusters consisted of cheap tower PCs literally stacked up on shelves.

OT: Apple's new Workgroup Clusters are a perfect fit
|
Thursday September 29 2005 @ 09:21AM EDT views: 51
InfoWorld: Apple just rolled out new Apple Workgroup Cluster configurations, which are literally plug-and-go computational clusters. The announcement might have slipped past you because it is being pitched primarily (or at least it was to me) as the Workgroup Cluster for (Bio)informatics, a market segment so rarified that just writing about it gives me a nosebleed. The reality is that Apple Workgroup Clusters have appeal well beyond Apple's vertical science/technology market. It's the first personal cluster, and for me, that's a vision from years ago made very real and very practical.

ClearSpeed Claims Fastest Chip Crown
|
Monday September 26 2005 @ 08:00AM EDT views: 59
InternetNews: Those of you who answered ClearSpeed Technology can give yourselves a pat on the back. That's the claim anyway. The fabless semiconductor company plans to demonstrate its CXS600 dual-chip board, running at 50 Gigaflops and a mere 25 watts, at the High Performance Computing on Wall Street conference Monday in New York. A single Gigaflop equals a billion floating-point computer instructions per second, and it's typically used to measure supercomputer performance.
