Opteron vs. Nocona: It's the system, stupid
|
Tuesday August 31 2004 @ 07:34AM EDT views: 420
InfoWorld: If you think AMD’s Opteron and Intel’s Nocona -- or more formally, “Xeon Processor with 800MHz System Bus” -- are cut from the same 64-bit cloth, look closer. Yes, they’re compatible at the instruction-set and register levels; they should be because they’re both based on AMD’s x86-64 specification. But the total system architecture surrounding these chips -- which includes pathways to other CPUs, memory, and peripherals -- exhibits several differences that factor into buying decisions and developers’ platform targeting.

Interview: Linux clusters can have their day vs. supercomputers, part 1
|
Monday August 30 2004 @ 01:07PM EDT views: 242
SearchEnterpriseLinux.com: Linux clusters can meet the demands of high-performance applications and have advantages over supercomputers, even supercomputers priced to compete with them, says Eric Pitcher, Ph.D., and vice president of product marketing for Linux Networx, a cluster systems provider in Bluffdale, Utah. Pitcher knows both sides of the Linux cluster vs. supercomputer story, having come to Linux Networx after working for Cray Inc. and Cray Research for 15 years. Prior to leaving Cray, he was senior director of technical marketing. In part one of this interview, he champions Linux clusters, citing their productivity and scalability. In part two, he discusses pricing and points out Linux clusters' current shortcomings.

Monday August 30 2004 @ 12:45AM EDT views: 257
Lawrence, Kansas - August 30, 2004 – Atípa Technologies, active supporter of the open source community and leading solution provider in high-performance computing systems, announces the successful deployment of two identical Itanium 2 Linux Clusters to the Department of Energy. Each Cluster consists of 536 Intel Itanium 2 CPUs, 12TB of usable fault tolerant I/O storage. atípa Technologies successfully met every requirement set by the customer including a 90-day delivery cycle.
A target for this project was to maximize the performance delivered while staying within budget. atípa Technologies collaborated extensively with Intel to achieve the “biggest bang for the customer buck” in providing on-time delivery, superior quality, and unbeatable prices. atípa Technologies designed each Itanium Cluster with 200 Intel Tiger II 2U chassis installed with dual 1.3GHz Itanium 2 Madison Processors for the compute nodes. Additional compute nodes comprise 34 Intel Tiger IV 4U chassis installed with quad 1.3GHz Itanium 2 Processors for each cluster. The clusters were set up identically, and shipped to two different locations within one week. “Working closely with Intel on this project has given us a totally new perspective of Intel. It allowed us to work with each level within each department, to be more efficient in meeting our customer’s needs,“ stated Mike Zheng, President of atípa Technologies. “I am also excited about our future projects that will build on the working relationships we have established within Intel.” Significant pricing and delivery advantages can be achieved by this cooperative relationship.

TKCluster

Wednesday August 25 2004 @ 10:49PM EDT views: 217
SysAdmin: Linux has shown a lot of growth in the area of data-centric, high-availability clustering. Most admins are already familiar with computational clusters, known loosely as Beowulf clusters, which are implemented in the form of MPI, PVM, LAM, MOSIX, and other process-sharing and process-distributing technologies. There are also "Web service clusters", such as those distributed in years past by TurboLinux and others. These were typically groups of similarly configured servers that used DNS and round-robin IP address tricks to give the illusion of Web server high-availability to end users.

Tuesday August 24 2004 @ 12:20PM EDT views: 193
E-Commerce Times: Intel insisted the price-reduction move did not reflect concern that inventories were stacking up too high. Analysts noted that forecasts are for PC sales growth and therefore demand for chips should remain robust at least through the end of this year. In fact, a report released Tuesday by Gartner predicted 27 percent revenue growth this year for chip makers, with the industry growing to $226 billion.

Considering Linux storage Management
|
Tuesday August 24 2004 @ 08:33AM EDT views: 197
NetworkWorldFusion: With Linux having penetrated the enterprise computer room to the extent that it now runs on everything from the smallest x86 white box server to the largest mainframes, it should be no surprise that almost every storage software vendor these days is making its management offerings available on Linux. Products are now available both from new companies and industry leaders. With some modest research, you can find something suitable for your site no matter whether you work for one of the very largest companies or for something quite a bit smaller.
