Cray mimics Ethernet atop SeaStar interconnect
,----[ Quote ]
| Supercomputer maker Cray doesn't talk much
| about the systems software that runs on its
| massively parallel, midrange, or entry HPC
| gear, but it probably will start doing so more
| because of the work it has done to make its
| non-standard XT boxes look a little less
| proprietary as far as Linux applications are
| concerned.

Highly Parallel HPC: Ants vs Horses
,----[ Quote ]
| The non-obvious nature of parallel computing
| can invite some incorrect assumptions. For
| instance, combining fast sequential things
| does not always mean you will create an
| optimal parallel thing. If scaling, power
| usage, or I/O are important, then you may be
| surprised to learn that there are other
| factors at play than just fast cores. Like my
| first experience with resistors, âparallelâ
| always seems to introduce some non-obvious
| results. And, of course, I have not even
| mentioned about how surprised I was when I
| learned about capacitors circuits. You canât
| make this stuff up.

New Cray OS Brings ISVs in for a Soft Landing
,----[ Quote ]
| Cray has never made a big deal about the
| custom Linux operating system it packages with
| its XT supercomputing line. In general,
| companies don't like to tout proprietary OS
| environments since they tend to lock custom
| codes in and third-party ISV applications out.
| But the third generation Cray Linux
| Environment (CLE3) that the company announced
| on Wednesday is designed to make elite
| supercomputing an ISV-friendly experience.
