Top 500 Supers List Dominated By Exotic Clusters
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The semi-annual list of the Top 500 supercomputers was released last week at the International Supercomputer Conference in Heidelberg, Germany, and there is a tremendous amount of churn in the rankings as vendors have installed various kinds of supercomputers that have been in the works for years and academic, government, and private research facilities gobble up huge amounts of computing capacity.

HP Ships 10 Millionth ProLiant Server, 1 Millionth Linux Box
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

While there has been a lot of talk about how Dell and its two-way and four-way servers are going to take over the IT world, every now and again the world needs to be reminded that Compaq--and now Hewlett-Packard thanks to the Compaq acquisition--is the undisputed king of X86 server shipments.

Sun Takes Java App Server Open Source
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Unix workstation and server vendor Sun Microsystems was founded two decades ago on a mix of open source technologies (such as the BSD variant of Unix) and of proprietary technologies (such as its own Sparc RISC processors), and it seems clear that Sun believes that its current business will be based more heavily on open source technologies than it has been in its past decade (the dot-com era when open systems was a sufficient definition of "open"). To that end, at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco yesterday, Sun announced it would release the code behind its Java System Application Server to the open source community. READ MORE >
