MandrakeClustering Shows Off At ISC2003

Posted by timothy on Tuesday June 24, 2003 @12:28PM from the snap-together-modules dept.

joestar writes "Just released today at ISC2003, Germany, is "MandrakeClustering", a high-performance computing Linux distribution/solution, which sounds interesting, at least in the PR: Pentium support with optimizations made with the Intel compiler, 64-bit Opteron support (with in this case, up to 16 GB of RAM for each cluster's node!), parallelized URPMI (Mandrake's apt-get) and other dedicated tools. This product is based on a one-year research project "CLIC" involving MandrakeSoft and partners. A good snapshot of the product running a 3D real-time demo is available here. The interesting point now: MandrakeClustering's goal is to provide a system which is easy to deploy, easy to administer and use. Well... Mum would certainly love to play Quake with this toy."

They're running demos of high-resource rendering demos people who buy this setup can run at Comdex 2004.

It's a shame there isn't a "-1: Religious War Initiation" mod.
