Chinaâs Next Supercomputer is using Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| China is on its way to make a new indigenous
| supercomputer build with custom
| microprocessors developed at the Institute Of
| Computing Technology. This supercomputer, the
| petascale Dawning 6000 is a successor of the
| current fastest supercomputer China has, the
| Dawning 5000a. The Dawning 5000a has been
| running on AMD powered microprocessors and
| Windows HPC Server as itâs OS. The Dawning
| 5000a ranks 11th in the world. Apart from
| that, China also holds the #5 supercomputer in
| the top 500 list.

| are fighting as hard as they can to keep their
| current business model alive, even if that
| means allowing piracy in order not to lose
| against Linux.

| It won't come as a surprise to readers of this
| blog that China's new supercomputer will be
| running Linux - over 80% of the world's big
| machines do. What's fascinating is that this
| is being built out of that home-grown Loongson
| chip - the one that Windows doesn't run on. As
| the same article explains...
