Supporting The HPC Hero
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, this being Linux Magazine, Iâm
| not going to spend much time discussing
| Microsoftâs HPC value proposition, but
| there are real reasons why Windows, and Mac
| OS X for that matter, donât have a big
| foothold in HPC. I covered this five years
| ago when I wrote Why Linux On Clusters? and
| what was true then is true today. Iâll save
| you the detailed reading. Clusters are
| about building machines around problem
| sets. To achieve an efficient design you
| need flexibility and choice. Open source
| and the Linux OS provide the best
| flexibility an choice.

| a large amount of supercomputing power into
| a smaller package in its new rendering
| facility in Sydney, Australia.

3D Avatar - Linux Supercomputer - Of Course
,----[ Quote ]
| Having read about the super-computing power
| required to make the 3D film "Avatar", and
| that the O/S on that system was of course
| Linux, I went to see it. Well, to be
| honest, I was going to see it anyway with
| my wife and granddaughter. On a previous
| blog someone asked whether GNU/Linux gets
| any mention in the credits.

Ballmer Still Searching for an Answer to Google

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
