Project Columbia : NASA gets a new Super
Computer 08/09/2004 01:28 PM
One of the conclusions from the report into the 2003 space shuttle disaster was that NASA lacked enough computing power. As such, NASA have decided to invest in a massive Linux based cluster of computers, to patch over it's IT requirement problems. The computer will be based on SGI Altix computers, each with 1,000Gb of memory, and 20x512 Intel Itanium 2 processors (10,240 in total). It will uses SGI switching technology, and have in total 500 terabytes of storage. The whole system will increase NASA's IT computing base by 10 times.

Unlike previous super computers, 'Project Columbia', as it will be formally known, will be built with 'off the shelf' kit (akin to the GIT Apple Cluster), making it a lot cheaper than the previous generation of super computers, and a lot faster to assemble. Richard Dracott, from Intel's enterprise platforms group said "This is the epitome of change in supercomputing." In total, the project cost will be about $160 million; the computer will be made available to other government agencies to help off set the high price tag.

The computer will be used for mission planning and working on other complex models, such as climate change and physics calculations, like gravity modelling. When built, it will be one of the largest Linux super computers / clusters in the world.

MUD Scraps

MUD Scraps 09/15/2004 01:49 AM

These are just MUD/IRC/IM related scraps of thought trails accumulated over the past couple of weeks.  Actually, most of them are resurfaced scraps from long past but I turned them over like one would a flipjack so I thought I should park them on my blog so I can look it up next time they resurface.

• IRC channels as rooms in a MUD - an IRC channel is, in essence, a bunch of people talking in a room.  Everyone can hear and see each other (unless they are whispering or lurking invisibly).  It's just like being at a same location in a MUD.
• IM session inside a MUD - IM is like talking inside a private room in a MUD.  Overlaying the room metaphor gives persistence to sessions and storage for shared objects.
• Wiki page as a room, an object, or a thread of conversation inside a MUD.
• Topic or thread of conversation as an object - threads of conversations are constantly created and updated and 'leads' to the threads can be found by where, when, who, and what.  So if you enter a room where a conversation took place there some time ago, you can find it and, if you want, pocket it to keep track.  In a sense, you are subscribing to a feed.
• Googling conversations in IRC and MUD - this is self evident so I won't explain.  A hack implementation can just generate a web page per thread of conversation and let Google index them.
• NPC as IRC bots - enough said other than that they should be easily programmable, customizable, and deployable.
  • Fido, open the report.
  • Fido> Which report?  I have...
• MUD objects with MIME types and custom renderers - images are displayed, audio and movies are played, spreadsheet is displayed using Excel, etc.  Thumbnails of these objects are displayed when 'see' command is invoked.
