What ecosystem and infrastructure is available to support HPC application developers that wish to leverage the capabilities of the processor today? What software choices are available for programming cell? Is Linux ready for cell yet? What hardware choices are available now or soon to deploy Cell? What examples of success can we look at to best understand the processor's strengths and weaknesses? What is missing today in the ecosystem that could help make Cell better suited to HPC? What kinds of performance are we seeing from Cell? From yellowdog-announce at lists.terrasoftsolutions.com Mon Nov 13 23:36:46 2006 From: yellowdog-announce at lists.terrasoftsolutions.com (Announce List for all Terra Soft products (moderated)) Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 23:36:46 -0700 Subject: [yellowdog-announce] Terra Soft Showcases Cell Cluster Construction Suite, Y-HPC v2.0 - 14 Nov 2006 Message-ID: <200611132336.46264.kstaats@terrasoftsolutions.com> Terra Soft Associates, If you are attending Supercomputing '06, we invite you to stop by IBM booth #1205 to learn about Y-HPC v2.0, a cross architecture cluster construction suite for Linux with immediate support for all existing Cell products. This industry first provides for rapid cluster node imaging of both x86 and ppc nodes, including immediate support for Intel, Opteron, Apple G3/G4/G5, IBM JS20/21 and p5; IBM QS20, Mercury Cell Blade/1U/CAB, and PLAYSTATION(R)3. First released at SC2004, Y-HPC provides a means of managing node images, copies of a complete run-time environment housed on the head node. These images contain all code required to run the compute node, including boot protocol, network configuration, instructions for local or diskless, remote mounted directories, and the applications and libraries to support the cluster functions. Using the experience gained from previous versions of Y-HPC and time spent at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, v2.0 is a complete re-write which offers a new "template" driven machine configuration with support for highly scalable, multi-tier cluster construction. The demo in the IBM booth showcases Y-HPC v2.0 beta with a YDL v5.0 + Y-Bio v1.1 node image on 2 IBM QS-20 Cell blades. In the Mercury booth #1135, all Cell blades are running YDL v5.0, 4 of which are running Y-HPC v2.0. Y-HPC v2.0 is slated to ship with the close of Q1 2007. --TSS Staff From yellowdog-announce at lists.terrasoftsolutions.com Mon Nov 27 13:42:33 2006 From: yellowdog-announce at lists.terrasoftsolutions.com (Announce List for all Terra Soft products (moderated)) Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2006 13:42:33 -0700 Subject: [yellowdog-announce] YDL v5.0 for the PS3 launches!
