HP reflogging DataDirect storage
,----[ Quote ]
| HP already has its Ibrix and PolyServe-
| powered X9000 scale-out network-attached
| storage (NAS) in its cluster portfolio,
| along with its SFS G3, a product using
| MSA2000 storage and the Lustre file
| system, which is aimed at Linux cluster
| HPC users. In other words, this product
| line-up implies the X9000 isn't well-
| suited for Linux HPC cluster use.

Cray launches Gemini super interconnect

| Right now, the CCM feature of Cray Linux
| Environment 3.0 is supported on XT6 and
| XT6m mini variants and only emulating
| Ethernet, but will be backported to XT5
| and XT5m machines later this year and to
| XT4 machines in early 2011; eventually,
| CCM will be able to emulate InfiniBand as
| well, if your HPC apps prefer that.

GNU/Linux Tops TOP500 Supercomputers Again
,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that GNU/Linux totally dominates the top 500 supercomputing list is
| hardly news, but the fact that it has managed to *increase* its market share
| yet further is.
|
| Here are the results for June 2009:
|
|
| GNU/Linux 443 (88.6%)
| Windows 5 (1.0%)
| Unix 22 (4.4%)
|

Linux shows staying power on Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest list indicates growing Linux dominance. Linux is used in the top
| nine supercomputer systems in the world. When considered as the primary OS or
| part of a mixed-OS supersystem, Linux is now present in 469 of the
| supercomputer sites, 93.8% of the Top500 list.

Why is Linux THE FASTEST operating system today?
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that I mentioned supercomputers at the time of this writing the worlds
| fastest supercomputer runs Linux. In fact most of them run Linux as you will
| see here in the list of the top 500 supercomputers. Out of all of the
| operating systems on these supercomputers Linux is a whopping 87.8% with
| windows only (giggle) 1% as can be seen here. The current worlds fastest
| supercomputer runs..... Redhat Linux and Fedora. The exact same ones you can
| download and install on your personal computer.
