Clusters Clusters Everywhere!
Posted by: Hooz on: 11/09/2000 03:33 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
I've been doing quite a bit of reading lately on the new clustering technologies. Last night (well, early this morning really) I stumbled across this article over at Linux World that takes a look at some of the "other" clustering technologies. By "other" I really mean "other than Beowulf". It's definitely worth a read but here's a little something to get you started:
This year's LinuxWorld Conference & Expo boasted a whole new crop of clustering products. Commercial clustering solutions are finally ready for harvest. No longer are we stuck in a relative wilderness of Beowulf-only clustering -- the focus of attention for most academic institutions and scientific applications. Now, high-availability, load-balancing opportunities prance about in gleeful attempts to attract the most customers.
It is great to see a wide range of products focused on clustering finally emerge in commercially supported systems. This legitimizes the product, since companies that once hesitated because of the lack of available support can now confidently accept Linux-based clusters from small and large vendors alike.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
