Blowing The Doors Off HPC Speed-up Numbers
,----[ Quote ]
| My interest in benchmarking has a practical
| side for HPC. As everyone is well aware, the
| Linux HPC ecosystem changes rapidly with
| updated kernels (drivers), libraries (MPI),
| and applications. Early on, I would ask
| myself this questions, âWhat influence do
| these updates have on performance?â It is
| naive to think that all updates always lead
| to better performance. In order to
| quantitatively measure these changes, I put
| together what I called the Beowulf
| Performance Suite. My intention was not to
| create a benchmark, but rather a way to
| measure the effects of change.

Stayin' alive: Ten years of Linux on the mainframe
,----[ Quote ]
| It would be hard to find two technologies
| that would seem to be more diametrically
| opposed in the data center than the IBM
| mainframe and the open source Linux
| operating system. But the combination of the
| two, which then-IBM president and now IBM
| chairman and CEO Sam Palmisano championed
| (or more precisely, gets credit for
| championing within Big Blue regardless of
| whose idea it may have been), saved the
| System z mainframe business.
