Sorry, not trying to trump you guys but wanted to mention what we (IBM)
have done with Linux Clusters. That's what I do and Linux Clusters are
really, really getting some attention. They just released the new top500
lists.
On the fastest computer list at http://www.top500.org or more specifically:
http://www.top500.org/list/2001/06/ Linux Clusters have moved up from
number 80 (Los Lobos in New Mexico) to numbers 30 and 31.
On the http://clusters.top500.org list or more specifically:
http://clusters.top500.org/db/result.php3?limit=100&Processor=%25&Country=%25&Interconnect=%25&order_type=desc&show%5B1%5D=site_name&show%5B2%5D=site_country&show%5B5%5D=System&show%5B6%5D=Integrator&show%5B7%5D=Number_node&show%5B8%5D=Processor_total&show%5B9%5D=Total_Peak_Performance&order_field=Total_Peak_Performance&show%5B12%5D=Interconnect
I don't know about the other machines but the IBM machines on the list are
Intel based, Linux clusters. We don't use any Windows software and are
built completely on Open Source or scripts. The only possible exceptions
to that are te PGI Parallel Compilers, which is a proprietary, purchased
product.
Yes, this sounds like an advertisement, and I'm sorry, particularly knowing
the high number of competitors on this list. However HPC Linux Clusters
are absolutely on fire and the news is all good.
