I mentioned before my wife got con'ed into going to POK in charge of loosely-coupled architecture where she created "peer-coupled shared data" architecture. she didn't stay long, in part of little uptake (except for IMS hot-standby, until sysplex) and in part because of ongoing battles with communication group trying to force her into using vtam/sna for loosely-couple coordination. misc. past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#shareddata when we were doing cluster scaleup for ha/cmp (both for commercial/DBMS and scientific/numeric intensive) ... we didn't have to worry about the communication group ... old post about early Jan1992 meeting in Ellison's conference room http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13 what we did have to worry about ... old email about cluster scalenup http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa the last email in above is possibly only hrs before being told the cluster scaleup stuff is transferred and we weren't allowed to work on anything with more than four processors. then a couple weeks later it being announced for scientific/numeric-intensive *ONLY* http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#6000clusters1 920217 ... scientific and technical only http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#6000clusters2 920511 ... caught by surprise I make fun of it in this old post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009p.html#43 From The Annals of Release No Software Before Its Time post posts mentioning ha/cmp http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hacmp some of this discussed in this recent linkedin greater ibm thread: http://www.garlic.com/2012i.html#47 IBM, Lawrence Livermore aim to meld supercomputing, industries http://www.garlic.com/2012i.html#54 IBM, Lawrence Livermore aim to meld supercomputing, industries also in these linkedin mainframe related discussions: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012h.html#4 Think You Know The Mainframe? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012i.html#11 Can anybody give me a clear idea about Cloud Computing in MAINFRAME ? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012i.html#15 Can anybody give me a clear idea about Cloud Computing in MAINFRAME ? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012i.html#16 Think You Know The Mainframe? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2012i.html#25 Can anybody give me a clear idea about Cloud Computing in MAINFRAME ? -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
