World's fastest: IBM's Roadrunner supercomputer breaks petaflop barrier using Cell and Opteron processors

Roadrunner is a supercomputer built by IBM at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. Currently the world's fastest computer, the US$133-million Roadrunner is designed for a peak performance of 1.7 petaflops, achieving 1.026 on May 25, 2008.

Roadrunner differs from many contemporary supercomputers in that it is a hybrid system, using two different processor architectures. Usually supercomputers only use one, since such a design is easier to design and program for. To realise the full potential of Roadrunner, all software will have to be written specially for this hybrid architecture. The hybrid design consists of dual-core Opteron server processors manufactured by AMD using the standard AMD64 architecture. Attached to each Opteron core is a Cell processor manufactured by IBM using Power Architecture technology. As a supercomputer, the Roadrunner is considered an Opteron cluster with Cell accelerators, as each node consists of a Cell attached to an Opteron core and the Opterons to each other.

Processors

Roadrunner is unique for its hybrid design using two different models of processors.

Opteron

AMD Opteron 2210, running at 1.8 GHz. These are processors with two general purpose cores each. Opterons are used both in the computational nodes feeding the Cells with useful data and in the system operations and communication nodes passing data between computing nodes and helping the operators running the system. Roadrunner has a total of 6912 Opteron processors (6480 computation, 432 operation), for a total of (12960+864) 13824 cores.

PowerXCell

IBM PowerXCell 8i, running at 3.2 GHz. These processors have one general purpose core (PPE), and eight special performance cores (SPE) for floating point operations. Roadrunner has a total of 12,960 PowerXCell processors, with 12,960 PPE cores and 103,680 SPE cores, for a total of 116,640 cores.

Overall system information:
6,480 Opteron processors with 51.8 TiB RAM (in 3,240 LS21 blades)
12,960 Cell processors with 51.8 TiB RAM (in 6,480 QS22 blades)
216 System x3755 I/O nodes
26 288-port ISR2012 Infiniband 4x DDR switches
296 racks
2.35 MW power .

Automated Tool Tracks Business Hardware and Software

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen.K.R) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:27:00 +0000

Inventory auditing software

If you can lovingly call your small- or medium-sized business IT department "scrappy"--maybe you're both company president and network administrator--the right tools can make the most of your resources. Inventory auditing software can keep track of company hardware and software without taking your time from other tasks. You'll be able to keep track of assets, plus you'll gain valuable troubleshooting clues, such as an always-current list of software version numbers.

Network Inventory Advisor from ClearApps seeks out these details across your company PCs. The tool runs from a Windows system, but it can also audit Mac and Linux clients. You'll install the software, and it'll return a list of systems attached to the network.

More than just a list of each PC's software, the tool notes the date applications were installed and includes version numbers for both applications and operating systems. You can use it to make sure that clients have current antivirus software and other patches. It'll even track licenses for certain applications, helping you manage allocations. And if you don't have the resources--or mentality--to prevent employees from installing software on their systems, you'll appreciate a running list of their applications.

Hardware audits provide details about PCs' model, and specs: video card information, hard disks, busses, and more. If an employee complains that a system is too slow, you can check the CPU and RAM details at a glance.

Automated scans make the most of your time. You can set Network Inventory Advisor to run on a schedule, without your intervention. It can notify you if it detects a change, so you can be alerted about any PC updates or modifications.

Check out the free demo to see if your business can make use of the tool. If you decide to buy, Network Inventory Advisor starts at $89 for up to 25 networked PCs, and per-system costs drop off with more volume.

Welcome to Cuil—the world’s biggest search engine. The Internet has grown. We think it’s time search did too.

The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.

Then we offer you helpful choices and suggestions until you find the page you want and that you know is out there. We believe that analyzing the Web rather than our users is a more useful approach, so we don’t collect data about you and your habits, lest we are tempted to peek. With Cuil, your search history is always private.

New Computer Hardware Search Engine

Search ur hardware with this

Bazar, Inc., a Maryland-based search engine firm, launches a new computer hardware web directory and search engine.

Frederick-based Bazar, Inc. has recently launched CompHardware.biz Search Engine. This new web site represents the next evolution in search technology. Using proprietary keyword-based directory analysis and data organization, the Computer Hardware Search Engine has created the first search-term-based directory and web search.

Most web directories today are based on specific categories. Web site links are organized into these categories by the operators of the directory. "Our computer hardware search engine organizes data based on the popularity of search terms," explains Robert Gray, director of Research and Development. "Using search data gathered from Internet users over many months, we have organized over hundreds of sites and thousands of products to create a useful search experience."

Bazar, Inc. expects page views to increase exponentially over the coming months. "We have excess capacity at present and can expand rapidly to meet increased demands, especially during the Christmas and holiday season".

Use Gmail as a storage medium - GMail Drive

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen.K.R) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:42:00 +0000

GMail Drive 1.0.14

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to it.

Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes storage space of 6000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your Google Mail Account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.

Which Is The Best Browser: IE8, Chrome, Safari Or Firefox 3.1?

noreply@blogger.com (Praveen.K.R) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 06:53:00 +0000

Best Browser

There are continuous changes and progresses in everything especially the technical zone. Net is one of the fastest paced areas that undergo changes pretty soon than any other.

People all around the world use it and want to see changes and developments bringing speed and performance efficiency better ever than before.

Many leading net browsers are available today to surf the net world with utmost efficiency. Now let us see which one of the leading, most widely used web browser is highly acclaimed and why! Different browsers are made keeping different items on priority lists. Hence they hold their separate positions and standings gathering unique liking levels amongst users.

The most successful browser can be the one which has more features that attract most of the users and make them stick to that even with the change in versions. Amongst Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari, let us compare, contrast and evaluate the best.

Interface/Look: #1: Google Chrome

On the first level, the interface and look of the browser counts a lot. It is to be seen that which is the browser that looks more easy to use and the tabs are visible enough and the important tags are properly highlighted according to their preferences.

Browsers have different looks with changed address bar placing like Apple dumped its OS X interface to match the colorfully designed Windows looks.

As far as interface is concerned, Google Chrome is on the top with its tab lay out. Firefox’s interface is function based than good impressive look. Safari has the quality of showing bookmarks, favorites, and browsing history similar to iTunes.

Features/ Characteristics: #1: Firefox

The most easily extensible browser is Firefox with so many add-on options which none other gives.Other browsers like IE also have the same options but not as extensively as are on Firefox. Chrome and Safari too are not expandable like Firefox.

Performance Results: #1: Safari

Marking the performance of each browser on memory footprint with a single open page, Safari becomes the winner in the race. Each browser has different memory requirements, which are as follows:

(1) Safari 4 beta 985.6ms / 1,079.6ms
(2) Firefox 3.1b3 2,221.2ms / 2,232.4ms
(3) Chrome 1.0.154 1,332.4ms / 1,371.2ms
(4) IE8 RC1 5,804.2ms / 5,834.6ms

The above figures refer to everyday JavaScript browsing. In speed, Chrome was fast, Firefox was also good, but IE was slower than was expected.

Security: #1: Firefox And Chrome

All browsers provide the security to users to protect their data and machinesfrom damages after being infected with virus.

Browsers provide various kinds of restricting options like Porn Mode, block pop-ups, clear history, protection from phishing and other net interferences.

While protecting the computers from crashing, Chrome has been copied by IE. It performs separate checks for each tab allowing the user to ‘end process’ for any tab that has a troubling site. Whereas, in Chrome, there is a tab manager; Shift+Esc that allows to stop the working right there in the browser.

This prevents the browser to shut down even its needed to run, like IE shuts down if there is some ill causing a crash.

The Best Of 4: Firefox

Although all the browsers are good at their place, but still Firefox is the one that wins over the others due to its ecosystem that allows easy add-ons.

Firefox is rather an advanced browser comparing to others which allows doing things quicker. Chrome is not even strong technically to support everyday net tasks until a few more features are added in.

While considering Safari, it can handle RSS feed unlike Chrome. It also has the best JavaScript performance. Also, if we compare all the 4 on rankings earned, Firefox stands out as no.1 leaving others behind.
