Smart Grid Networking and Communications

[SmartMeters] Gohn also predicts that advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) nodes for smart meters will be the largest communications equipment category over the next several years. Home area network (HAN) nodes will be the second, but much smaller category followed by network interface converters.  Pike defines smaller node categories to include: “Generalized grid routers, AMI concentrators, wide area network (WAN) backbone nodes, substation routers, and substation Ethernet switches.”

Linux on the iMac - ATI Radeon 4670 vs 4850

[openSUSE Forums] I have seriously thought about the VM option, and will certainly use that if there is any trouble running Linux natively; I'd rather not take this option, because the apps I'd be running (JVM instances and IDE's like Eclipse) would be heavy on their own, and I'd be taking a performance hit to some degree at least - of course, I'd try it before I decide.

Perspectives - High Performance Computing Hits the Cloud

[Perspectives] For example semiconductor design simulation workloads are incredibly computationally intensive and need to be run at high-scale but only during some phases of the design cycle. Having more resources to throw at the problem can get a design completed more quickly and possibly allow just one more verification run to potentially save millions by avoiding a design flaw.
