Cool Linux Tricks With Atlas

Posted by timothy on from the largeness dept.

Or seemless swap processor and memory in and out of your machine? The Atlas project aims to bring you all that and more. There's a press release from TurboLinux reported here, and a more in-depth article running on SourceForge's Linux on Large Systems Foundry."

    Quick, set a timer to see how long it takes until someone drools and says the magic words:

    Beowulf cluster

      What the hell use is a timer when you already uttered those same words!?

  3. Increased system reliability in Linux 2.5 by cpeterso · · Score: 4, Funny

    I read that the Linux kernel developers are planning a number of kernel improvements to increase overall system reliability. Some of the minor updates include a completely new VM, new block IO layer, new VFS layer, new kernel NFS server, new device naming management, new SCSI lyaer, new IDE layer, and an in-kernel web server (khttpd and TUX) for improved system reliability.

    Just like the similar complete rewrites in Linux 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4, Linux once again finally be a winning combination on the very high end!
