Laptops and Servers

Laptops and Servers 02/01/2005 09:44 PM
It just dawned on me that in a desk-side box, heat is not a major problem because it’s got a room to cool it off, usually without too many other computers in it. Laptops, however, are like back-room “mainframe” servers in that heat is a big deal. In the one case you’re worried about your users’ gonads and in the other your HVAC budget, but the problem is the same. Right now, the heat budget is a big concern for the guys at Sun who design our biggest servers. It’s no secret that our throughput computing initiative is partly about this: lower clock speeds, more cores, thread-level parallelism. Am I predicting that laptops with SPARC processors will be leaping off the shelves next quarter? I wouldn’t go that far. But I am smelling converging design spaces.

The servers are on overdrive... 06/05/2005 10:48 PM

I'm getting a bit of an influx of people coming to plasticbag.org right now because they've just watched the (really rather good) Boom Town episode of Doctor Who and for the first time they've heard the words "Bad Wolf" uttered out loud. And quite reasonably, they now all want to know what the hell is going on... For some reason this little post of mine is high on search results for Bad Wolf. So to try and be helpful, I've added some resources for people looking for a next step. If you know anything that people should know about (or if you have any theories of your own), then you should go and post some comments so that everyone gets to see them.

While I'm on the subject - What an episode! It was well-directed, had lots of intrigue and lots of plot arc advancement. A real character piece which - not for the first time - contained a good bit of flirting and dubious sexual intrigue. Very classy. Very cool. Just a little bit slutty.

New Servers are Up and All is Good

Just a quick note to let you know that the new servers are up and all seems to be good.  We haven't added that hardware into the current mix yet -- we'll do it over the weekend / next week.  Thanks to Apokalyptik andfor giving me such confidence in their abilities to handle the move that I passed out last night before it was even done.  Not a bad tribute to a great SysAdmin.

Just to clarify, I wasn't slacking off or anything, I was adding another new feature to Feedster before the boxes went offline.  Still testing it.

Home Servers - here we come

The Home Server.

The Home Server

Martin Geddes of Telecopalypse (gotta love that name) saw yesterday's item about home servers and was move to comment.

The key word he adds to the discussion is database. Home PCs will become personal database servers.

This makes sense from an Always-On perspective. After all, what are medical, personal inventory, and security applications doing other than building databases, often huge databases?

But this brings up a key impediment (today) to Always-On, which is the price of software.

As hardware is mass-produced its price declines with Moore's Law. That's not true with software. In fact, complexity (or the ability to handle complexity) increases the price of software.

Look at the price of a Windows server license, for instance, next to the price of a Windows client license. Or look at the price of an Oracle license against that of any client program.

Martin notes in his piece that he's putting his databases onto a Linux PC, and that's a key point.

I've been noodling over the question of whether Windows or Linux will drive Always-On applications for some months. (Windows does have some advantages.) It's the question of price that is determinative. It's not so much that Linux is free as that the cost of Linux solutions move toward free, without the corporate overhead of Windows applications.

What are software companies delivering, after all, once you get the software? They are delivering support. Linux separates the cost of support from the cost of the software, so the initial cost can drive toward zero (especially in volume). That's a key Clue.

An ISP, or telco (is there any difference), or some other company, can earn itself monthly maintenance fees from the Always-On software in your home server, which they can maintain remotely.

I think that's the model for the future. And you won't get it through Windows.

Marc's comment.....

If I was a betting man - that Linux home server will be running java with struts and Itabis or Turbine, with some coolio basicPortal frameworks - all wrapped inside a social software and personal publishing embrella.  All open source.

All designed for talking XML and serving up one's digital lifestyle.

OK - so I was off by 10 years.  Maybe building the MediaBar back in 95-96 was too early.  maybe spending all my money on research was EXACTLY the right thing to do.

I guess we get to find out now.

PeopleAggregator is back on it's feet and it's sister - WebOutliner - now has accounts.  Various pieces of the puzzle - from the Laszlo rich media front-ends, to JahShaka high-end editing tools, to pre-built jukeboxes and photo albums Portal software or knowledge management utilities - are all falling into place.  Open standards - like ATOM and FOAF - are taking off.  This train is leaving the station.

It's fascinating to see how the mail server logs for the perl.org list server has changed over the years. Mostly because of all the new greylisting and rate limiting software. We don't mind the extra noise and server load on our side, qmail deals with it very efficiently. It's sad though to see all the broken software blocking our mail knowing there's someone on the other side who (presumably) wanted to get it but can't. Greylisting software that gives us...
