Not a Utility

 [Powers Unfiltered] Let me confess that I spent 20 years in or near the electric utility industry, and I know  A LOT about utilities.  SunGrid is not a utility.  The “utility computing” analogy bothers me in general, and I don’t have nearly the time or energy to break it down fully, but the standards, reliability, infrastructure, training, and commitment are not there (anywhere in the IT industry, including Sun) to run a utility.

bizhack now on media temple grid server

 [ Sparkplug 9 >> bizhack] If you’re looking for hosting, I recommend Media Temple. For $20/month you get all those advantages that essentially take your site way beyond the limitations of either shared hosting (where most hosts stuff as many clients on one box as possible) or dedicated server hosting (where all your resources are yours, but if there’s a fault on the box, sayonara to your services).

“Accelerated Computing” - The floodgates

[ business|bytes|genes|molecules] Anyway, to get back to the topic at hand, one thing that should change scientific computing is what Joe calls AC. When it becomes possible to get TFlops performance out of something that fits under my desk or in a little corner, does not need special facilities, etc, the productivity of the scientific community, from those who crunch numbers for a living to those almost unaware of the resources that help them run Blast again and again and again, will change dramatically.
