Cray and atsec Achieve CC Security Certification of Cray Linux Environment
,----[ Quote ]
| Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) and atsec information security announced today that
| the Cray Linux Environment (CLE) has been certified by the National
| Information Assurance Partnership's (NIAP) Common Criteria Evaluation and
| Validation Scheme as conformant to EAL3+ (enhanced with Flaw Remediation
| ALC_FLR.1). This evaluation took into consideration a number of new
| functionalities: the Lustre network file system, Portals high-speed Remote
| DMA and the application placement scheduler ALPS. The evaluation covers Cray
| Linux Environment 2.1 running on the Cray XT4 and Cray XT5 computer systems.

Cray feeling super amid company turnaround
,----[ Quote ]
| Supercomputers may appear to be an ethereal realm, but they are important
| bastions of futuristic research. They often portend new technologies.
|
| For example, the Linux operating system was embraced early on by the
| budget-constricted national laboratories, a signal to corporate IT managers
| that the free operating system was OK to use. Some techniques developed in
| massively parallel processing machines, where thousands of chips gang
| together to share computing of big scientific problems, were adapted in the
| development of multi-core chips for personal computers and network servers.

Cray Gets $250M From DARPA To Realize "Adaptive Supercomputing" Vision
,----[ Quote ]
| Cray, AMD and Linux just got a collective $250M boost in the arm from
| the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
|
| In one of the most watched procurements ever, Cray and IBM are
| splitting a huge $494M grant from DARPA, unprecedented in its size
| even if it is over four years, to develop the last leg of their
| rival next-generation supercomputers, and Cray is going to be
| building its uncommon machines out of AMD chips and the Linux
| operating system, expecting the giants to be used commercially
| as well as in the airy precincts of government research labs.
