Thanks. Actually, very interesting. Lower drag (lower viscosity) makes
sense. Helium should also be a substantially better conductor of hea
What distro are you most familiar with? (and which supports your future
applications)
Does it have a convenient way to do a mass update?

I'll be there as well. Some northeast HPC people may not
know that it is free to walk around the show (which is a
rather cozy venue). You have to pay to see the talks.
Oh and of course if you are interested in HFT ...

You may want to look at Warewulf. Jeff Layton recently
wrote a great 4 part series on HPC Admin about it.
Here is the first article:

You can also take a look at this link on Cluster Monkey,
which has links t
Hi Jeff:
In our experience, the answer should come from your users. They must
have some preferred systems that they do not even know they need. For
many scientists they typically start using some packages running on
Windows. If you build a Linux cluster, it would NOT help them much.

hi Jeffrey,
Maybe you want to give some more details to this list. Most importantly:
WHICH software needs to work well on it, and how many machines do we
speak about and how important are i/o concerns?
(for some software every X gflop they need X bytes per second i/o)

Let me email you a latencytest using all cores at the same time.
All those claims always about using 1 core are not so relevant for HPC,
as we wouldn't need multicore cpu's then.
In a perfect world you're right, regrettably that's not how software
usually works.
It usually hits 100 other proble
