IBM will soon give supercomputing aficionados a glimpse of an Opteron chip-based system that is geared for high-performance tasks.
Though Apple doesn't fancy itself a giant of high-performance computing, the company says it's making some headway in regard to both supercomputers and smaller-scale clusters.
Dell Computer is adding more hardware to its high-performance clusters, aiming to up the number of computers that share heavyweight computing jobs.
Advanced Micro Devices announced its new "Rev F" generation of Opteron server processors on Tuesday in the US, the next volley in a competition with Intel's newly competitive Xeon models.
Fresh after getting publicly dumped by Apple Computer, IBM is taking new measures to spread its Power processors and make them a stronger competitor to Intel chips.
Abhi Talwalkar, general manager of Intel's Enterprise Platform Group, provides an insight into the dual-core Montecito, the company's latest Itanium chip.
Quadrics, which manufactures gear that links numerous Linux computers into a single supercomputer, has made its products compatible with systems built around Intel's Itanium 2 chip.
The 64-bit version of Microsoft's database will cost the same as the 32-bit version and perform better--part of the company's bid to undercut Oracle and IBM.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
The move to Itanium has meant a rocky road for Hewlett-Packard's high-end server group. But the man leading the company's transition to the Intel chip believes the worst potholes are in the rear-view mirror.
Intel has come out with a Pentium 4 running at 3.2GHz and separately has plans to discuss a new version of its upcoming Madison chip specially enhanced for dual-processor servers and workstations.
With computing power to burn, the PowerEdge 1950 is ideal where high performance is required, such as clustering and Web front-end duties. However, the ramped format does make life more difficult when it comes to database hosting and other backend deployments.
Multi-core processors deliver many benefits, including much-improved performance per watt, over single-core designs. We examine three dual-core servers from the leading vendors to see what this technology can do for your business.
Production-quality XenSource virtualisation is the main selling point here, with optional clustering and storage virtualisation to go with it. But there's a lot more besides, making the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux a compelling solution for businesses of all sizes.
Researchers build full Itanium support into software that can be used to assemble supercomputers out of clusters of Linux computers.
