At Gartner’s recent IT Symposium event, Steve Ballmer called high performance clusters a “Linux stronghold,” and explained that Microsoft is gunning for the market with a cluster edition of Windows ...

Hewlett-Packard’s (HP) cluster computing products can now run a Microsoft cluster operating system, which should be helpful to end users familiar with the ubiquitous Windows operating system. HP said ...

In a sort of digital interpretation of the adage, “Waste not, want not,” the basic idea of grid computing is to use the computational power of idle PCs and harness those heretofore wasted cycles to ...

A grid is a wide-area network of computers used to process parts of the same problem. Unlike a cluster, grids tend to be loosely coupled in that there usually is no central control. The notion of grid ...

As we get more and more used to parallel processing and multi-core architectures I’m noticing an encroaching tide of technology threads that are encouraging us to consider High Performance Computing ...

Aside from GPUs, you don’t hear much about co-processors these days. [bitluni] perhaps missed those days, because he found a way to squeeze a 160 core RISC V supercluster onto a single m.2 board, and ...

Remote working has always been there; but in the aftermath of the pandemic, it has largely supplanted the traditional in-office work. Since employees are working from different corners of the world, ...

More work needs to be done on Linux at the operating system level, grids will have limited appeal, and there will be a mass movement to embrace clustering software among organizations large and small.

Extending its expertise in the field of high performance computing (HPC), IBM is acquiring cluster computing software vendor Platform Computing, the companies announced Tuesday. Terms of the deal were ...
