Let ...: Many organizations that could benefit from the use of HPC clusters find that it is complicated to get the systems up and running because of limited IT resources or the complexities of the clusters themselves. Learn how the Intel Cluster Ready program, for which Dell was an original partner, seeks to address this challenge for entry level and mid-range HPC users.

[HPCwire: High Performance Computing in Research & Academia] HPCwire: CCGrid 2010 Announces Call for Papers: Tremendous advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing, ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grid and emerging Clouds. CCGrid is a series of very successful conferences, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing together international researchers, developers, and users and to provide an international forum to present leading research activities and results on a broad range of topics related to these platforms and paradigms and their applications.

[Research@Intel] Research@Intel · Unwelcome Advice: (*) However, HPC developers have the interesting problem of (depending on how you look at it) scaling down a “plane” of parallelism or scaling up an inner level of parallelism to map efficiently on to multi-core silicon in their clusters/data centers/grids”¦which has sometimes subtle differences from the single, dual and quad-core based clusters they’ve been used to programming.

[Virtualization.com] HyTrust Aligns with VMware, Intel to Bring “Trusted Computing” to ...: As part of the combined solution, Intel TXT helps attest to platform identity and trust-worthiness with hardware-based mechanisms that enable controlled launch and registration of critical infrastructure software, helping to establish trust and protect the confidentiality and integrity of software applications and data””a critical prerequisite for building a trusted cloud computing platform. Combining VMware platform technology currently in development with the HyTrust Appliance complement Intel TXT boot measurement via the VMware vSphere 4 Web Services SDK to determine and manage which virtualized cloud operations are allowed or disallowed based on the integrity of the underlying platform.

[Sun BluePrints Community] News for June 24 - Blueprints - wikis.sun.com: As an example, he says that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has bought seventeen of Sun's X4600 Opteron servers (which each have 16 cores) plus some storage and its Grid Engine gridding software to make a baby cluster. This setup at UNC includes 45 Sun workstations as well as a mix of storage, and it harkens back to the kinds of deals Sun used to do all the time back in the 1990s, deals that made it a name in academic computing right beside Digital Equipment.

[System News for Sun Users] Volume 122, Issue 1 - 'Good News' from Sun; OpenSolaris Updates ...: It used to be the case that the soldiers in the U.S. Army, the Army National Guard and Army Reserve, all of whom are responsible for annually reviewing his or her Official Military Personnel File (OMPF), did so by relying on the mail to perform the updating and correcting of their personal information, an expensive and time consuming operation. Now, the Army has moved to an interactive Personnel Electronic Record Management System (iPERMS) that uses clustered Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 servers running the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS) as web tier servers.

[Virtualization.com] Catbird Introduces Security and Compliance Solution for Cloud ...: vSecurity Cloud Edition gives service providers the competitive edge with the industry’s only automated monitoring and enforcement solution that covers all seven critical control areas: auditing, inventory management, configuration management, change management, access control, vulnerability management and incident response, in an elegant solution specifically architected to meet the needs of cloud providers.

[Computerworld Blogs - Windows & Microsoft] Fancy a $25K Cray on your desk? - Computerworld Blogs: Cray, which has been struggling financially since clustered Linux boxes became the rage in supercomputing a decade ago, is known for creating the fastest vector and parallel supercomputers in the world, and with the CX1, it is trying to push down into a market where newbies in life sciences, digital rendering, financial services, and other fields are playing around with supers for the first time.

[SimBioSys Blog] SimBioSys Blog » Blog Archive » The fast and the furious: compare ...: It is no accident that the RoadRunner supercomputer is built on Cell BE processors for the computing (with the communication and file I/O being handled by AMD Opterons) beating the previous fastest HPC system benchmark (held by IBM’s BlueGene) by over 4X. As for the GPGPU versus Cell BE angle, this symposium has reinforced my beliefs that the Cell BE is a general purpose accelerator suitable for any task (just like a CPU) while the GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA are highly specialized tools that can get great performance for a very specific subset of the problems.
