CNC rockets to moon today our IGT soars SOS strong!!! SGI demonstrated that it is ahead in the development of the Linux® and applications software environments for products based on Intel® ItaniumTM processors. Using a cluster of 16 Itanium processors, SGI displayed a prerelease version of SGITM software for Itanium, built on TurboLinux® software, comprising SGI Pro64TM compilers, SGITM Advanced Cluster Environment (ACE) and system administration tools. [...] The SGITM system used in this demonstration was configured as a BeowulfTM cluster of eight nodes running on Linux, with two prerelease Intel® ItaniumTM processors per node, a Silicon Graphics® 330 visual workstation front-end node (which controls the flow of work to the compute nodes in a Beowulf cluster) and Myrinet-2000 and Fast EthernetTM interconnects. Hmm, could this mean that Linux will become popular in the visual workstation market too? Linux servers make great webservers (well, not as good as our Solaris based server) but last time we checked, Linux was not really the best OS for Visual 3D-applications. Time to check again, I guess...
