Cray CTO Says Cray Computers Are Great

Jan Stafford writes "Linux clusters can not offer the same price-performance as supercomputers, according to Paul Terry, chief technology officer of Burnaby, British Columbia-based Cray Canada. In this interview, Terry explains that assertion and describes Cray's new Linux-based XD1 system, which will be priced competitively with other types of high-end Linux clusters."

    here is a quick bookmarklet
    you will need to create a new bookmark and paste this as its location (there are no spaces in this code if slashdot adds them)

    javascript:void(self.location.replace(sel f.location.href.replace('it.','')))

    so much for "community" if the fnckin developers wont even listen to the users, immature ego's and terrible design skills are still the biggest problems in open source
