Irate Anandtech readers pacified
|
Wednesday August 18 2004 @ 09:10AM EDT views: 210
The Inquirer: WE REPORTED last week that an Anandtech review - Linux and EM64T; Intel's 64-bit Suggestion - hadn't been very well received by many who had commented on the article. The forums of Ace's Hardware and Slashdot were quick to highlight its shortcomings. With all that negative publicity raging, Anandtech listened to its readership and worked to make amends. Three days after the original piece was published, a new article - Linux [64-bit] Shootout: Opteron 150 vs. Xeon 3.6 Nocona - was released for public consumption.

How to migrate your company to Linux clusters
|
Tuesday August 10 2004 @ 07:32AM EDT views: 215
IT Managers: Anyone following the high performance computing industry has probably noticed the growing popularity of Linux cluster systems. The 23rd Top 500 list, a ranking of the world's most powerful supercomputers, reported that clusters make up more than 50 percent of the list. The appeal is easy to understand; Linux clusters are a fraction of the cost of traditional supercomputers while providing blazingly fast performance numbers. Many organizations from national labs to Hollywood special effects shops have reported performance increases that their previous systems couldn't touch. With such widespread appeal and tangible benefits, the migration to cluster systems seems inevitable for many organizations.
