There aren't many numbers that put the US national debt to shame, but here's one: 1,100,000,000,000,000. What's that? That's how many floating-point operations per second the Roadrunner supercomputer at Las Alamos can perform. That's about 100 FLOPS per dollar of US debt (unfortunately, the debt is winning the second derivative race). Read the article about Roadrunner in this month's High Performance Computing issue of LJ.
Along with that, find out how to program the Cell processor and how to use CUDA with your NVIDIA GPU. Also in this issue: Mr HandS (aka Kyle Rankin) gives us a few tips on using Compiz, Chef Marcel shows you how to get blogging off your plate quicker, Mick Bauer talks about Samba security, Dan Sawyer interviews Cory Doctrow and Doc talks about how information technology can affect democracy and fix the national debt (just kidding about that last part). That and more for your reading pleasure in this month's Linux Journal.

xcpu download ?
On December 27th, 2005 Alf Solli (not verified) says:
Hi.
Read the article from start to end, more than once, and I have to say: "Inspiring!"
.. Anyway, I was wondering where can I download xcpu from ?
I'm trying to set up a cluster, using pxe booting nodes, and a suse 10.0 workstation as front-end, but bproc is giving me a hard time..
(If anyone can point out some resources in this area, please do)

Performance?
On October 21st, 2005 prantaaho says:
Overall a nice article. However, I would have liked to see some performance charts for the strongarm cluster. Also more information about technical specs of that cluster would be nice; how much memory in each node etc.

16 SBC's + 1 Laptop on a 16-Port Switch?
On October 13th, 2005 David Baldock (not verified) says:
I really enjoyed the article on building the compact 16-Node cluster.
I've got a question about Figure 13. I count 16 Single Board Computers, but only 15 gray Ethernet cables connected to the 16-Port switch. The 16th cable appears to be black, and apparently goes out of the tool-box to the controlling ThinkPad Laptop. Does the 16th node in the cluster work without an Ethernet cable connected to the switch?
Take Care,
David Baldock
this article is truly

this article is truly inspiring, i wish to build one of these in the near future, but as a reply, maybe the laptop counts as the 16th node? just a guess on my part, but possible?
