Distributed Parallel Processing Shell Script (PPSS) released
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd like to announce the release of the distributed version of the Parallel
| Processing Shell Script (PPSS). PPSS is a bash script that allows you to run
| commands in parallel. It is written to make use of current multi-core CPUs.

GCC To Receive Automatic Parallelization Support
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM's Razya Ladelsky today outlined plans for providing automatic
| parallelization support within the GNU Compiler Collection. The Graphite
| Framework, which provides high-level loop optimizations based upon the
| polyhedral model, was merged for the forthcoming release of GCC 4.4 and it
| will be used eventually to provide some level of automatic parallelization
| support. Graphite will be combined with autopar, which is an automatic
| parallelization code generator based upon GOMP that in turn implements
| OpenMP.

ScaleMP touts cheap Linux multi-processors
,----[ Quote ]
| Software company ScaleMP is claiming to have turned virtualisation on its
| head - instead of making one server look like several, it said that it can
| make a cluster of entry-level servers look like a single high-end machine.
|
| Called Versatile SMP (vSMP), its software is a kind of pre-boot environment
| which loads from flash and uses Infiniband for connectivity. The clustered
| servers then appear as a symmetrical multi-processor (SMP) system, and can
| run standard multi-processor versions of Linux, said Shai Fultheim, ScaleMP's
| founder and CEO.
|
| He said that while the server aggregation happens in software, like other
| clustering schemes, vSMP is below the operating system, not on top of it,
| which reduces the overhead involved.
|
| "With [traditional] clusters, you need to work at the operating system or
| application level to parallelise it, and you have to set up a cluster file
| system and job scheduler," he explained.
