SC06 – Grids, Clusters and Linguine All’ Aragosta
While David Lowe and folks are getting mid-60s in Barcelona at IT Forum, there’s a bunch of us enjoying the sun (through the convention center windows) and heavy-number crunching computing in Tampa at Supercomputing 2006. You can see video highlights of the conference at WinHPC.org. Others from the HPC community who are commenting from the show include Dan, Joe and Doug. -
IT Forum and Supercomputing 2006
Several of us will be on airplanes this weekend, some headed to Barcelona for IT Forum, and others headed to Tampa for Supercomputing 2006. For those who want to follow the news and happenings from Barcelona, you can visit the VirtualSide. You’ll hear and read about virtualization, systems management, access and security, Windows Server (including Longhorn). -
HPC Finds a Home on Port25
Port25, which is a blog for Microsoft’s open source software lab, is casting an eye toward high-performance computing. They’ve tapped the talents and experiences of Frank Chism, a technology specialist by title here as Microsoft. As you can watch/listen to in this interview, Frank has earned his stripes working on HPC systems and clusters. I’m sure Frank will use this -
Personal Supercomputing Goes Quad Core
“Quadrophenia” is how CNET charaterized it. At Intel Developer Forum this week, Intel is showing off its forthcoming “Clovertown” quad-core processor for servers. Catch Intel’s podcast previewing its announcement of the quad-cores. Today at IDF we participated in a personal supercomputing demo that used the “Clovertown” processors within Tyan Compter’s Typhoon system, running Windows CCS, along with Mellanox Infiniband -
Windows CCS web chat canceled, but see Port 25 interview
I learned that next week’s exec web chat on Windows CCS has been postponed until later in the month. But in the mean time, you can watch the Port 25 interview with Ryan Waite, group product manager for Windows CCS. Ryan discusses how open source influenced Windows CCS through the inclusion of open source in the product and contributions back -

Windows CCS from your desktop
I’m not talking about deskside HPC clusters, but rather learning more from your desk about the new Windows Server edition for running parallel applications on HPC clusters. First you can start with Scientific Computing, which is hosting a webcast on high-performance computing going mainstream. Speakers include our own Tony Hey, University of Southampton’s Simon Cox and IDC -
GA of Windows Compute Cluster Server
The high-performance computing version of Windows Server 2003 (x64 SP1 based) is now generally available. GA for this product means it’s on the volume price list; not the shelves of Fry’s or Best Buy. Windows CCS is designed to run massively-parallel applications (as opposed to serial apps) for fluid dynamics, crash test simulation, oil reservoir exploration, -
Supercomputers can do Windows
The supercomputing world publishes a list twice a year of the 500 most powerful supercomputers. Conveniently, it’s called the Top500 project. The list is part bragging rights (among vendors) and part trends tracking (among scholars). But without a doubt, the list represents the who’s who of supercomputing and high-performance computing. The 27th Edition was announced today at -
10 Things about Windows CCS that You Won’t Read Anywhere Else
Windows Compute Cluster Server has been RTM’d, and the bloggers and press are running their stories. And you can watch/listen to Zane talk about Windows CCS at the Virtual TechEd site. And of course you can go to the Windows CCS site for technical details and white papers. Here are 10 things that you won’t read there
