Another grouping of seats. This time it is very comfortable armchairs and sofa in a family room located between the living and bedroom areas. A bay window opens out to the garden and the music system is cleverly concealed under the ledge below the windows.
Looking into the living area from the staircase gives you some idea of how large it actually is. The furniture grouping shown is the core area where most of the entertaining is done. The colour of the upholstery here are repeated in their different shades throughout the house.

If I remember well, it's about $75K for 128 port all included. In short, it's the same switch enclosure than for the Myrinet fabric, but the switch blade have 8 GigE port on the face. Myrinet is used internally to transport Ethernet frames, so you can expand it to 8K ports by building a Clos topology with Myrinet links between the switches (it's a little bit cheaper because it takes half the number of links between switches to keep the full bisection). The sweet spot is supposed to be one enclosure (127 ports). However, it's a Layer-2 switch, it's not a Layer-3 router. Feedback from customers was that a Layer-2 switch is all they need to make GigE clusters. I don't know exactly when it will ship. Patrick -- Patrick Geoffray, Phd Myricom, Inc. http://www.myri.com

Hmmm... I typically try to use a more standard image format (png, jpg, tiff, ...). I have found these work better than others in my apps. Most everything in the windows world happily deals with those. I have had lots of problem with WMF import. Don't know why. > What does this sort of environment mean?

If this is a royal pain then (and please don't take this wrong) your linux/windows system is set up wrong. To "export"/"import" I open a file on our SAMBA share, that happens to house the home directories from the cluster. If you have to do anything else then something somewhere is broken, and yes, it is a pain. We set up the transparent access for our customers, and I had assumed that all cluster vendors did.

Folks.. > uncompressed TIFF images don't hack it as an interchange medium. What? 16MB TIFF for a 50k JPEG? I usually use JPEG or png. If I need to use a windows format I do. Linux can read/write all of them (and interconvert) using the right tools, so this is rarely an issue. As for "pandering", well, that may be an option for some, but my customers and users need to get work done. The issue is how do you get it done in the least amount of time and effort, and the greatest impact. > And no, Open Office is not fully interoperable with MS Office.

For the most part we haven't run into problems apart from font mapping, and I am admittedly not interested in fixing it at this moment. > > Let's be realistic.. as a hypothetical small user of a cluster for some > analytical task, more than 50% of my time is going to be spent not doing > the analysis, but in dealing with other aspects of the job: > administrative reporting; writing budgets; generating reports; creating > proposals for new work.

Also true, quite true of my customers. They are looking for minimum time to insight (hey look, its a marketing phrase). Fussing around with transport and conversion of data is not an option. So they don't have to. They can mount their home directories on the cluster as yet another drive letter. They can and do use it as yet another resource. > > Now, let's consider another practical detail.. I've got my cluster > running, and I'm cracking through my work.

Again, thats why there are external experts who do this stuff. As for the 50-100, I think the number is closer to 20-50 desktops per admin. I have seen 4000 node clusters supported by 2 people full time. I am not going to comment on the other aspects of this. > Now let's talk security.

If you saw the firedrills these folks go through when the patch bolus hits... it breaks standard desktops and servers, and they need to watch everything very carefully. I know of at least one fortune 500 IT organization that lives in fear and trepidation of the next patch bolus. They are serviced by some other fortune 500 organization for most of their IT stuff. I will not comment on the quality of that support. Look carefully at what the CTC has to go through with their systems. If you are running 1000 copies of Norton on your disks, with each one loaded up with a personal fire wall, anti spyware and virus ... do you really have a cluster? I don't think so. > Say I wanted to install a Linux cluster. Ooops.. they're not quite as > familiar with that.

Actually it is a huge issue. Some codes are just not supported under some patch levels (SP2) because it breaks it. So you have a choice of running your mission critical code or running at the accepted support level. > Then there's the whole "hooking my box to the corporate network" > thing...

Haven't run into this yet. Most want it tightly integrated into the net, with the only real pain being AD and other things for authentication.

There is a case, but I think it is different than you argued. I have been thinking this through for a while. A large cluster is an appliance, as is a small cluster, as is a router. It needs to be managed as one, and appear to drop onto the net as an appliance. All interaction from the windows centric folk need to be as an appliance. This is the windows model. It is very hard to get a windows person to change to linux, unless they need to. So you lower the barriers by making this thing appear as nice and friendly as possible. Wrap it with some nice web tools for job submission (we have some being deployed at a number of customer sites). Make data transfer drag and drop via explorer (which we do). Make all aspects of this be as easy as possible. It can be done, just requires effort and focus upon integration. There are lots of cluster hardware vendors out there who will happily sell linux hardware (or windows for a premium). There are few who actually know how to make this all work seamlessly. If you call it a cluster appliance and build it as such, and make it appear to be just a little web appliance with some disk which happens to calculate for people, well, the resistance level is very low.
