Bitkeeper after the storm - Part 2







Bitkeeper after the storm - Part 2

Bitkeeper after the storm - Part 2 05/12/2004 05:43 AM

In Part 1 of this interview, we learned just how much Linus Torvalds and others have increased their productivity through the use of Bitkeeper to handle kernel patches. In this conclusion to the interview, we examine the consequences of that increase. Is it good or bad for the Linux kernel that more patches than ever are being applied? Both Larry McVoy, author of Bitkeeper, and Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, offer their opinions.

Bitkeeper after the storm - Part 1 05/11/2004 07:40 AM
It has been a couple of years since the Linux kernel mailing list was debating the issues of Linus Torvalds' scalability and the use of a proprietary source management tool called Bitkeeper to handle kernel patches. Now that the dust has settled, and intrigued by a press release from Bitkeeper author Larry McVoy that claimed impressive productivity gains for Linus Torvalds and other kernel hackers using Bitkeeper, NewsForge decided it was time to talk with McVoy on the current state of affairs between the free software hackers and his proprietary code. This is part one of that interview; part two will appear tomorrow.

KernelTrap: No More Free BitKeeper. (Press release, Linus's comments) I think this is the best move for everyone; the BKL just pissed people off. Companies that think they can somehow cooperate with the open source community while releasing proprietary software should study this case carefully.

BitKeeper, the proprietary source management tool used by Linus Torvalds and other Linux kernel hackers to apply patches to their versions of the kernel, is once again at the center of controversy. This time it looks as if the relationship between Bitkeeper and the poster-child project for free software is going to come to an end as the result of irreconcilable differences. NewsForge has spoken with the three primary figures involved in the dispute -- Larry McEvoy, Linus Torvalds, and Andrew "Tridge" Tridgell -- to learn what happened and whether or not it could have been avoided.

John Lautner's Chemosphere: part
Jetsons, part Bond and vintage L.A.
Modern.
04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The most modern home built in the world. "From the outside it looks like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe because you are floating above the city, in the sky". John Lautner's Chemosphere residence is the product of a fortuitous union of architect, client, time and place. Leonard Malin was a young aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable. Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it. "Draw it up," he told his assistant. Now publisher Benedik t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20 years of neglect the house has been beautifully restored (.pdf) by Frank Escher.

The Storm Warning That Wasn't


The Storm Warning That Wasn't 01/08/2004 08:40 PM
The folks over at the National Weather Service were a bit surprised yesterday when they saw that they had put out an "impending blizzard warning" when they were all sitting around marveling out how nice the weather actually was. Turns out that someone in another office had sent out a test message that accidentally went live. Then, thanks to our automated world, the winter storm warning started appearing all over the internet on weather pages that simply take information from the National Weather Service and repost it. The only thing I can think of is that this is the first time I've actually seen the weather people admit that they were wrong.

Sandia supercomputer to be world's fastest, yet smaller and less expensive than any competitor: This description of the new "Red Storm" computer being developed at Sandia is like porn for hardware geeks. Supposedly, this machine is going to take the title of World's Fastest Computer back from the NEC Earth Simulator.

The machine has 96 processors in each computer cabinet, with four processors to a board. Each processor can have up to eight gigabytes of memory sitting next to it. Four Cray SeaStars — powerful networking chips — sit on a daughter board atop each processor board. All SeaStars talk to each other "like a Rubik cube with lots of squares on each face,"ť says Camp. "Cray SeaStars are about a factor of five faster than any current competing capability."

Messages encoded in MPI (the Message Passage Interface standard) move from processor to processor at a sustained speed of 4.5 gigabytes per second bidirectionally. The amount of time to get the first information bit from one processor to another is less than 5 microseconds across the system. The machine is arranged in four rows of cabinets. There are a total of 11,648 Opteron processors and a similar number of SeaStars.

USAToday has an article today about how the machine is based on an 80-year-old mathematical theory.

Ideas from an early 20th century British scientist are at the heart of a massive supercomputer expected to be the fastest in the world once it's assembled at Sandia National Laboratories.

Mathematician Lewis F. Richardson wanted a way to forecast the weather. But the basic concepts he envisioned — a way for many calculations to be shared quickly and integrated — lie at the heart of Sandia's machine, Red Storm, which will be used in nuclear weapons work.
