Why did I think of a Godzilla Tux this morning when reading this article? 1,202-Socket Supercomputer Unleashed in Japan http://goparallel.sourceforge.net/fast-and-curious-1202-socket-hpc-powers-japan-research/ “To keep up with other academic institutions around the world, it is important that we progress in line with the latest developments. In order to do this, we configure systems as Linux* clusters, an architecture that is in widespread use internationally.” That's just a little baby... the Japanese have had this for a little while, which is a true monster: http://www.top500.org/system/177232 Third fastest super in the world, and the fastest for most of last year. Also runs linux of course, but then, the vast majority of the world's biggest supers do. I like to think that all of the racks have Godzilla Tux logos on them... a bit like this: http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/blue_gene/ Cheers |
