The original post asked if Linux could scale to that level. Seeing that it already has on many occasions, the answer is a resounding yes.
As an aside, Windows *TRIES* to compete in the supercomputer/clustering market. What's it called... Windows HPC or something like that? Sad thing is it's floundering under its own licensing costs. Nobody wants to pay license per processor, per user when it comes to a cluster of ANY size.
A university could take 16 or 32 surplus P4s and build a cluster for no additional cost using Linux. Windows would cost out the yin-yang. See why HPC will never get off the ground? - Posted by: Sabz5150 Posted on: 09/07/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
