ClearSpeed Claims Fastest Chip Crown
|
Monday September 26 2005 @ 08:00AM EDT views: 62
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.

Re. the future of thin-client, on-demand mobile devices / Grid infrastructure

Friday September 23 2005 @ 11:54AM EDT views: 56
InfoWorld - Grid Meter: ..."Shazam uses a very low-latency architecture (a big Linux cluster running diskless on commodity, 64-bit hardware). When a user submits a music quiery (an applet sitting on the phone does a short recording and sends an audio file to the Shazam service, via Java), the request goes to the master node, then gets multicasted over TCP/IP to a 'recognition cluster.' The nodes in the recognition cluster are filled with hash tables containing indeces of the music."...

Parallel Text Searching on a Beowulf Cluster using SRW

Friday September 23 2005 @ 11:48AM EDT views: 61
While the news is full of reports of the success of the Internet search engines at searching billions of web pages at prices so low that they can afford to give the searching away for free, such affordable searching is not common in the rest of the world. What searching is available in the rest of the world is not scalable, not cheap or not fast. Often it suffers from a combination of those flaws.

Monkey Talk: Who is Responsible?

Tuesday September 20 2005 @ 04:23PM EDT views: 96
Cluster Opinions and Insights from Cluster Monkey:
The phrase, if I only had one throat to choke often comes to mind when thinking about support for clusters. On the one hand, the history and the nature of clusters promotes a kind-of do your own thing methodology. On the other hand, how is the market ever going to grow beyond the pioneers if we do not have shrink-wrapped turn-key systems with a single point of support?
