  1. parallel or distributed computing? on Ask Slashdot: Parallel Cluster In a Box? · · Score: 1

    Given that it is an "embarrassingly parallel application" (its distributed computing not parallel computing) things like CUDA, OpenCL or MPI are excluded.
    You, first of all, must make clear to yourself if you need threads of executions or cores for processing.
    Price wise i would recommend multiple dual socket AMD servers: best price per core and if your analysis is scaling linear with cores, it is the best choice.
    For administering such nodes i would recommend rocksclusters.org (underlying job scheduler can be torque, condor or sge)

  2. Re:Fermilab... on Open Source Software For Experimental Physics? · · Score: 1

    Scientific Linux is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (like CentOS). As such it follows closely the versions of RHEL and basically you cannot make difference between SL and RHEL.

    More on the subject : for the data analysis one can use ROOT (root.cern.ch) which is de facto tool for data analysis and simulation at CERN. It is used from online data taking from detectors to offline processing (even distributed - PROOF) of data.

  3. Re:This is just a part of Large Hadron Collider on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1

    IAAPP and that part with black holes is pure fiction. A black hole is a singularity at level of space-time fabric. Quark Pluon Plasma is a state in which quarks and gluons are almost free because of high confined state. From what we know until _now_ one has nothing to do with the other.However, __IF__ they(black holes) will be produced, the evaporation time will be at level of ns. So .. the afirmation that: "one of the purposes of this huge facility is to generate small blackholes" is completly false. Better read at www.cern.ch and also http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/ (home page of ALICE experiment) which is an experiment dedicated to study of Quark Gluon Plasma

  4. Re:numbers are good on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Use gaim :) have the all posibilities of trilian and a lot more :)
    also you can move your settings from win to Linux :)
    Also for version 2.0 was announced support for voice and video for the protocols that have this. (best thing is that you can use it on a win box on which you dont have rights ;) )
