  1. Re:True story! by ryanwright · · Score: 1 · on Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype?

    Article asks, "Does anyone in IT even use these boards to look for a job?"

    I don't know, but I'm using it right now to find a seasoned Linux Sysadmin with HPC experience. Great salary, great benefits, and you'd get to play with the fastest Linux based supercomputer in the world (5th fastest overall). Still, we've found no qualified people. Go figure.

    If you want more info...

  2. LANL's purchase... by anzha · · Score: 3, Informative · on SGI Releases New Workstations

    LANL bought an 80 processor Onyx 4. Check HPC Wire for the story.

  3. Yanking from my journal entry of 6/30/03 by anzha · · Score: 4, Informative · on How to get 1.5 TeraFlops from Linux

    HPC Wire had an article that I referenced in my journal on 6/30.

    It's an interesting machine. I'd love to get one to play with. I'm sure our benchmarkers will have some even more interesting comments once they're done. Expect teething problems, folks. Systems of this size and complexity take time to break in.

  5. Re:SGI at 1.14 ... by eXtro · · Score: 1 · on End Of reality For Silicon Graphics
    Here is the original press release on the divesture. Notice that MIPS Technologies is very specifically states as producing embedded processors. Also, here is an article describing the actual spin off into a seperate company and the fact that SGI maintains an internal design team. You can even find a job desigining MIPS processors at SGI.

    MIPS owns the trademark to MIPS, and owns a lot of the intellectual property. The MIPS design work within SGI is conducted seperately from MIPS though. It's not a matter of buying an ASIC core and slapping some additional logic on it, these processors are designed from the ground up at SGI. It's more of a derivative work I suppose if you consider software design terminology. Sort of like FreeBSD v.s. OpenBSD etc. They share common ancestors but they're more than just enhancements of somebodies intellectual property.

    I can't really post more compelling information, I work for SGI and need to be somewhat careful. Essentially when MIPS was spun off SGI retained key intellectual property (R10K and above).

  6. "ad stories" by Pierre+Phaneuf · · Score: 1 · on Explaining The Symbiosis Between QNX RtP & Linux

    HPCwire already has that, they call that something like "industry news" or somesuch...
