Penguin floats hybrid Linux supers
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux supercomputer maker Penguin Computing is ramping up its use of nVidia
| Tesla graphics processing units as co-processors for its x64-based Linux
| clusters.
|
| Back at the SC08 supercomputing show in November, Penguin was showing off
| what it called a "personal supercomputer," the "Bumble Bee" Niveus HTX
| workstation, which uses Intel's "Seaburg" chipset and supports
| the "Harpertown" Xeon DP processors. The Intel side of the workstation has
| two quad-core E5400 chips running at 2.8 GHz or 3 GHz and from 8 GB to 32 GB
| of main memory.

Linux still super in Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| In the June 2008 Top500 list, Linux still lives large with a role in 92% of
| systems (It is the only OS for 85.4%, but when considering all distributions
| (SUSE, Red Hat, CentOS, and general ‘Linux,’ as well as mixed uses that
| include Linux, I figure the share is more like the 92%).
