Homegrown high-performance computing 26 April, 2007 12:12

Once the domain of monolithic, multimillion-dollar supercomputers from Cray and IBM, HPC (high-performance computing) is now firmly within reach of today's enterprise, thanks to the affordable computing power of clustered standards-based Linux and Microsoft servers running commodity Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron processors. Many early movers are in fact already capitalizing on in-house HPC, assembling and managing small-scale clusters on their own.

High-performance computing offers competitive edge 12 March, 2007 09:34

As more manufacturing heads offshore, concern about U.S. companies' ability to maintain their competitive edge seems to be growing in Congress, which held hearings this week on the topic. At the same time, legislation has been introduced to increase research funding, some of which would benefit areas such as high-performance computing (HPC).

Driving Linux cluster performance 18 February, 2005 10:23

To some extent, the whole point of using Linux clusters -- or any open-source platform -- for high-performance computing is to achieve consistently high compute speeds at modest price points. But when the speed falters, or the system's full performance potential isn't reached, the price point doesn't look like such a bargain.
