Google's supercomputer

Google's supercomputer 05/12/2004 08:22 AM

Network theorists believe that all networks inevitably form hubs. The "services fabric" that enterprise architects are now weaving may sound egalitarian, but it's not immune to this law. Google's supercomputer -- or supernode -- gives it a leg up on the competition. Yours, however you define it, will too. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Echoes of the Google-as-supercomputer meme are everywhere lately. Sun's new chief, Jonathan Schwartz, invoked it when we met with him recently. His take: Sure, Google runs its search and mail applications on Google, but it runs its business applications on Solaris. Coherent symmetric multiprocessing scales in a different direction, Schwartz said, and that's where Solaris 10 is headed with its revamped and highly granular partitioning. ...

Making a supercomputer these days is a lot easier than you might think. I even helped build one myself in just one day earlier this month. The call to create the processing beast came from a group of University of San Francisco graduate students whose goal was to entice hundreds of computer enthusiasts like myself to unite their laptop and desktop systems into a megacomputer powerful enough to crack the list of the Top 500 fastest supercomputers on Earth. Topping that list is Japan's 40-teraflop Earth Simulator.

The Stone Supercomputer

The Stone Supercomputer 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

The Stone SouperComputer: Who says your cluster has to be expensive? When it was running, this cluster at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory had 133 nodes in it, most 486s with 32MB RAM and 10 MB/s Ethernet cards.

While our first Beowulf-style parallel computer isn't built out of the most impressive hardware, we got tired of fighting for funding and went ahead with what we could find. Much like the classic Tale of Stone Soup, many individuals contributed to the existing machine*. Because of a complete lack of funding, we used surplus personal computers donated by individuals from ORNL, the Procurement Dept., Y-12, and K-25, to build a parallel computer system which uses public domain compilers and message passing libraries. This system was built at literally no cost.

This was back in the late 90s, so 66MHz wasn't that slow. Still, pretty darn slow.
