Red Hat HPC Linux Cometh 34
Slatterz writes "Red Hat will announce its first high-performance computing optimised distro, Red Hat HPC, on 7 October. The distro is a step forward from the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux for HPC Compute Nodes. A part of the new distro is, by the way, created by a small Project Kusu team in Singapore. Kusu is the foundation for Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS) which is an integral feature of Red Hat HPC. It might be sign of things to come, as more of hardware and software development moves to the Far East — even top-of-the-line computing performance."

You know what?
I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT LINUX IS MAKING/TAKING THIS LEAP, & probably will do well @ it!
DISCLAIMER: AND, the main thing is? Heck - I have to be one of the BIGGEST "Pro-Windows/Pro-Microsoft" posters around on this site...
( & guys like myself (Pro-MS/Pro-Windows folks)? We ARE, w/out question, the MINORITY here (/. = "the home of the Pro-*NIX crew online" imo, & yes, years of experience posting here))...

NOW - What I don't like/am not "crazy about" here, as regards this article?
Is that U.S. jobs, EVEN IN OPEN SOURCE, for Pete's sake... even those are moving overseas... wtf!
(What upset me, is @ this article's termination?? Well, it makes things sound as if WE lack the skills & talent here for this! That's CRAP!)
In the U.S., We DEFINITELY have the talent & skills required, no questions asked!
However, our "FINE" business & political leaders really have TRULY "souled out" (misspelling IS intentional) &, the result of which are showing in the political & financial fiascos present, as well as outsourcing MIS/IS/IT jobs, to verify this, for me (without ME even SAYING IT)!
Still - this IS what you get: RUIN!
See, when you hire on "the best money TRULY CAN BUY", such as our "politikal leaders in KORPORATE AMERIKA"... mainly the republican SCUM, & unqualified MBA 'fratboys' who have NEVER EVEN DONE THE JOB THEMSELVES HANDS-ON FOR YEARS TO DECADES IN THE TRENCHES FOR OUR MGT. LEADERS... especially to lead people like us, in developers/techs/admins - how the HELL can someone like that, lead people like us, & make effective decisions?
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR: RUIN!
Sure - the "MBA FRATBOYS" rely on the old 'mantra':
"I don't need to know what to do, I will hire someone who does!"
Spelled sideways meaning "I will throw money @ it, it's not MY MONEY, it'st his companies & just to cover my incompetent & unqualified ass!"
& a question:
What IF said newly hired advisor (hired by a boob that hasn't even done the job himself no less) makes a mistake OR advises incorrectly?
IT COSTS MILLIONS!
APK
P.S.=> Fact is? This nation is headed by such an incompetent: One that's RUINED anything & everything he ever laid his hands on...
OR
Is the film "Fahrenheit 911" lying? I don't think so...
Another "politically connected rich boy" has a great job, because he is connected via his father, & not because of his trackrecord (as well as rigged elections).
This nation?? It had BETTER WAKE THE "F" UP, soon... apk

RH HPC wasn't just designed/developed in Asia. It is a collaborative effort. Actually a lot of the software came from Platform computing - a Canadian company (not sure if that article said that but others have). And the software that builds and manages the cluster is here: http://ocssrc.platform.com (well that is the source repo - not the binaries.
So...don't be so quick to conclude from a crappy 'press article' that developers in North America (US and Canada) don't have the chops to build this stuff...fact is the team(s) are located in Toronto and Singapore.
