High Performance Linux Kernel Project — LinuxDNA

Posted by timothy on from the squeezing-out-performance dept.

Thaidog submits word of a high-performance Linux kernel project called "LinuxDNA," writing "I am heading up a project to get a current kernel version to compile with the Intel ICC compiler and we have finally had success in creating a kernel! All the instructions to compile the kernel are there (geared towards Gentoo, but obviously it can work on any Linux) and it is relatively easy for anyone with the skills to compile a kernel to get it working. We see this as a great project for high performance clusters, gaming and scientific computing. The hopes are to maintain a kernel source along side the current kernel ... the mirror has 2.6.22 on it currently, because there are a few changes after .22 that make compiling a little harder for the average Joe (but not impossible). Here is our first story in Linux Journal."

    that Democrats were pooh-pooing the US missile defense program, saying it was so complex of a problem that is was totally infeasible? Now what do you have to say for yourselves? Man, if the world stood by and waited for Democrats to actually create solutions, we'd be in some kind of masssive global financial meltdown or something...
