[Cluster Connection] Cluster Connection » Scalability of Transient CFD on Large-Scale ...: [Excerpt] This work examines the parallel scalability characteristics of commercial CFD software FLUENT and STAR-CD for up to 256 processing cores, and research CFD software CDP from Stanford University for up to 512 cores - for transient CFD simulations that heavy in IO relative to numerical operations. In three independent studies conducted with engineering contributions from the University of Cambridge, Intel, SGI, and Panasas, each Linux HPC environment combined Intel Xeon clusters with a Panasas parallel file system and shared storage.

[Linux Magazine] The Servtainer Has Arrived | Linux Magazine: Imagine an organization that just spent $10 million on a few servtainers explaining their investment to vistors or directors, “Those containers in the back parking lot next to the trash dumpsters are running our HPC applications as we speak. They are not pretty and they are cold and dark inside, but they get the job done.

[CFD Online Discussion Forums] setup windows cluster -- CFD Online Discussion Forums: Hi, I need some general advise on setting up windows cluster for star-cd. After that, I will need a consultant/contractor to set up windows cluster for star-cd at my office (working at night or weekends to do this).

[Linux Magazine] Linus on Linux: The Linus Torvalds Interview Part 1 | Linux Magazine: Take a workstation and strip off some of the parts to make a dedicated cluster node or a NAS appliance or a PVR. Do you get a good general-purpose kernel by building something that works on the desktop, and letting people configure it to get customized builds for their own needs?

[HPCwire: High Performance Computing Processor Technologies] HPCwire: Star-P Now Intel Cluster Ready: 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.

[Linux Magazine] Caos NSA and Perceus: All-in-one Cluster Software Stack | Linux ...: Even if I found Perceus much simpler to administer (one command to rule them all, well almost :) I was a little confused by the fact that some very basic modules (as the ones that handles the ipadrr assignation and host names) are not activated by default. The very first time I booted the nodes, they were not accessible from the master, and after activating the requested nodes I had to reboot them physically.

The Blog of Ben Rockwood: Clearly, "Java: The Language" isn't my enamy, its all the stuff that is built up around Java that bugs me. If your moving from the world of C and PERL its tough enough just to really get your head around thinking in OO terms and how you need to change your thinking, to then be bombarded with all this other crap is enough to make you throw a java.lang.FuckThis exception.

[The Virtualization Blog] Virtualization Itself Is Not the End-Game - Making Enterprise ...: Oracle is leveraging virtualization as part of a broader strategy to make your entire data center better.  Oracle distributes an enterprise-class operating system with Oracle Enterprise Linux along with the broadest portfolio of enterprise software available, all of which is officially certified and supported on Oracle VM server virtualization and management software.  This means all of it can be distributed to users packaged as pre-configured virtual machines.  We call these Oracle VM Templates and they are packaged and licensed for use in the production enterprise today, not just proof-of-concept VMs comprised of limited functionality components.  How would you like to be up and running with a Siebel CRM instance or an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) in about an hour after you download the Template?  And how would you feel knowing you were deploying software installed and configured by the experts at Oracle so you know it is complete and reliable (but that you can still fully customize it and save it as an updated Template)?  And finally, how would you feel knowing it is all officially supported by a single call to the largest enterprise software company in the world and not simply by a collection of miscellaneous vendors and user forums?  A better way to get going faster, easier, and with low risk.
