[dundee] Linux Supercomputing

[gordon dunlop]

This is an article where Linux has now got 94% of the supercomputing
power in the top 500 list for November 2008:

This is the top 500 list:

If you are interested in clustering I like this list:

http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/php/clusters_register.php?sort=rpeak

This is the list for clusters using OSCAR, the open source clustering
solution. Anyone can download the software, latest stable version is
OSCAR 5 (the version that I have used). There is an OSCAR 5.1 beta and
they have nightly builds from their main trunk repositories. The good
thing is that anyone with a few old machines ( 2 or more), eg pentium
3, can play about with this software.
