Another OS Software support commitment for Intel's McKinley and 870 chip set !!! ""The Atlas Project is a neutral, industry-wide group that is committed to opening up 64-bit hardware and software environments, coupling the economics of the Intel architecture with the performance of supercomputers," said Ly-Huong Pham, CEO of Turbolinux. "The stability of Linux paired with Intel 870-based systems allows all of us to deliver mainframe-class performance in a client-server setting." " The i870- chip set is ALREADY GETTINMG SUPPORT from the LINUX community - they must be chomping at the bit to get LINUX on 4, 8 and 16-way McKinley/i870 servers ! newsalert.com December 19, 2001 21:06 Tech Industry Leaders Join Forces in an Open Consortium to Support Next-Generation Computing SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2001-- Turbolinux Serves as Central Project Administrator for Industry-Wide Development of Open Source Enhancements for the Intel 870 and Other High-End Chipsets . Turbolinux(R), a worldwide provider of Linux operating environments and a key innovator in applications that automate the assignment of computing power for any data processing need, today announced its participation in the Atlas Project. The Atlas Project is an industry-wide collaborative effort that is focused on creating a high-performance implementation of Linux for the Intel 870 Chipset and other high-performance computing platforms. The goal of the Atlas project is to ready the 64-bit Linux computing environment through the open source community for the next generation of high-end computing platforms for enterprise data centers. The implementation created by the Atlas Project will expand the functionality of Linux for scaling up to the enterprise and competing with other data center-class operating systems. Members of the Atlas Project have been collaborating since Q1 2001 to fulfill these goals, and they have steadily released their work to SourceForge.net, the world's largest Open Source development Website (http://foundries.sourceforge.net/large/). In addition, SourceForge is currently featuring an article titled, "Powering the Data Center of Tomorrow" which includes information about the member companies and each individual project. For more information, see the Linux on Large Systems page at foundries.sourceforge.net. Turbolinux -- the first and currently the only Linux distributor working on the Atlas project -- is helping create an industrial strength distribution methodology for providing customers with fully compliant Linux systems based on the Intel 870 and other high-end chipsets. The Intel 870 chipset supports the upcoming "McKinley" processor, the second member of the Itanium processor family. To date, the Atlas Project consortium has released several projects to SourceForge. These include machine check handling, ACPI (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface), ccNUMA (cache-coherent non-uniform memory access), static domain partitioning, and hot plug CPU and memory -- which addresses the ability to physically add and remove CPUs, add memory on the fly, and various system management software interfaces. "The Atlas Project is a neutral, industry-wide group that is committed to opening up 64-bit hardware and software environments, coupling the economics of the Intel architecture with the performance of supercomputers," said Ly-Huong Pham, CEO of Turbolinux. "The stability of Linux paired with Intel 870-based systems allows all of us to deliver mainframe-class performance in a client-server setting." The Atlas Project is an umbrella initiative for a number of individual projects, each with its own timeline. A method has been established within the project to produce development releases approximately every three months, the next of which is expected to arrive in February 2002. Each quarterly release will include all code that has been completed to date, and the resultant code will be available in a functional Turbolinux distribution, as well as other Linux distributions in the future.
