Linux-Announce Digest #325, Volume #3 Sat, 9 Jan 99 19:13:14 EST Contents: COMMERCIAL: Beowulf Clusters and Free/Open Software Fundraising (breuhaha) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: breuhaha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: COMMERCIAL: Beowulf Clusters and Free/Open Software Fundraising Date: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 00:05:58 GMT =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== For Immediate Release: 01/06/99 Cool Screen Products (http://www.coolscreen.com/) is a new company founded to sell silk screened items promoting GNU/Linux and Free/Open Software. The purpose of the company is to raise funds to build a Beowulf class clustered supercomputer for the research and development of non-scientific cluster applications, such as game engines and 3D rendering engines. Cool Screen also reserves one dollar from the sale of each item for dispersal to Non-Profit organizations in the Free/Open Software community. Although the web site is still under development, Cool Screen is actively taking orders at this time. Cool Screen Products already has an email gateway programmed by Zanshin (http://www.planetquake.com/gldojo/) which will allow Quake/Quake2 level designers to email their maps to the cluster to be compiled. This application will be the first application loaded on the Cool Screen "Rat Pack" Beowulf cluster. Our next application will be a similar email gateway that will allow artists to email 3D scenes to the cluster for rendering. Cool Screen will be actively working to develop a "Resource Allocation Daemon" (RAD) to control cluster resources. Cool Screen feels that the RAD will be the most important project that we will undertake in the immediate future. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.
