Personal Super Computer

From eWEEK.com, eNews & Views, August 17, 2006 Photo essay at Linux World Expo

TYAN Typhoon PSC (http://www.tyan.com/PRODUCTS/html/clusterservers.html)

The PSC stands for "Personal Super Computer." Supporting up to eight AMD Opteron HE CPUs and up to 64GB of DDR333/400 RAM, the Typhoon PSC is designed to tackle your research and other supercomputing needs. Those 30+ Gigaflops of desk-side processing power will set you back around $10,000 including CPUs and memory.






In perspective, Seymour Roger Cray sold the first 160 Cray-1 Super Computer in 1977, for 8.86 million USD. The speed was between 80 to 240 Megaflops. The first IBM PC when purchased with the upgrades like monitor, 512k of ram, and printer sold for about 5,000 USD.

What is a flops. Flops is Floating Point Operations Per Second. The "s" represents per second and does mean plural. Note the list below.

Prefix, Symbol, and Name

tera , T, Trillion 1 thousand x Billion
giga, G, Billion 1 thousand x Million
mega, M , Million 1 thousand x Thousand
kilo, k , Thousand just what it is

Now all is needed is some storage!





Pogo's StorageWare DA360 (http://www.pogolinux.com/storage/index.html) has 7.5TB of storage. Looks like it can be ordered as takeout.

Will get back to Google trends and SBC later. This was just to fun to pass up. How many sessions do you think this home super computer could host?

Until the next post,

Goggle Trends and SBC

Google Trends is a product from Google Labs. Thought I would invest some time and try to extract some information that may be of interest regarding SBC. Google Trends permits the use of this information for personal and non commercial use. Google knows that my SBC blog is not commercial if they review my adsense account.

Google Trends has several predefined searches and I chose the skiing, surfing (see chart below) to learn about interpreting the chart.. The blue line is skiing and the red line is surfing..



Since snow skiing is predominantly a northern hemisphere activity it follows that interest in snow skiing is a function of the northern hemisphere seasons. The blue line peeks along the new year line. The red line surfing, compared to snow skiing, is just the opposite of surfers dreams, flat all year long. Surfing is global and enjoys a following from both hemispheres.

The lower trend line looks for news to see if there is a news article that may coincide with a spike in searches. The trend program picked a post from Metro Toronto for the "F" spike. More likely the Winter Olympics may be a contributer to the surge in skiing based searches.

There are three normalized views for the trend data. Cities, regions and language. Listed below are the top ten cities that searched on skiing and surfing.

The bar graphs for the relationships between cities and the two search criteria does not transfer well to a blog. You may want to open the trend chart using this link, http://www.google.com/trends?q=skiing,+surfing and view the actual chart yourself.

Top cities (normalized)

1. Brentford, United Kingdom
2. Dublin, Ireland
3. Bletchley, United Kingdom
4. Sheffield, United Kingdom
5. Minneapolis, MN, USA
6. Ottawa, Canada
7. Denver, CO, USA
8. Chicago, IL, USA
9. Calgary, Canada
10. Seattle, WA, USA

I was surprised viewing the results for the top ten cities. Dublin at number two for either skiing or surfing surprised me. The fact that surfing exceeded skiing was even more of a surprise. But upon further review there are those that think that Ireland is the best place for surfing in the northern hemisphere, if not world wide. Seattle at number 10 with surfing exceeding snow skiing by a wide margin was also surprising. Further investigation found THREE surf shops and one 32 old surf instructor. Maybe the coffee there is too strong.

Looking at the regions bar chart reveals another view. Ireland moves into the number one position with an equal amount of searches for skiing and surfing. Dublin must be the hot spot for surfing. I spent four days in Dublin and did not see a single surf shop. Also, never made it to the Guinness brewery even though i walked past the famous gate twice. New Zealand and Australia show up in the 4 and 6 spots with surfing exceeding skiing by a wide margin although both countries have skiing. Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Germany round out the normalized list.

1. Ireland
2. United Kingdom
3. Canada
4. New Zealand
5. United States
6. Australia
7. Sweden
8. Switzerland
9. Netherlands
10. Germany

The third chart is language. What language is used to make the query. For the skiing and surfing trends table, English was the most used language. Swedish, Dutch, German and French round out the chart. Although the search language is not that interesting for Skiing and surfing, the language used for searching SBC topics just may be.

Over the next few days I will add trend charts for searches on SBC topics like, client server, virtualization, streaming software applications and SOA to name a few. This is not a scientific research project. Google Trends makes the point that this is a work in progress and just enjoy. Let us see if we can spot a trend or two.

Broadband over Power lines is OK in US! FCC

Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) is not about SBC. It is just an interest of mine as is Broadband over wireless. I like more choices.

From the US Federal Commincation Commision.

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE News Media Contact

(202) 418-2124
Bruce.Romano@fcc.gov

FCC ADOPTS MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER ON BROADBAND OVER POWER LINES TO PROMOTE BROADBAND SERVICE TO ALL AMERICANS

Washington, DC - As part of its ongoing efforts to promote access to broadband services for all Americans and to encourage new facilities based broadband platforms, the Federal Communications Commission today generally affirmed its rules for Access Broadband over Power Line (Access BPL) systems while maintaining safeguards against harmful interference to existing radio services. If harmful interference does occur, the Commission will take appropriate action to remedy the situation. Today’s decision was adopted in response to a number of petitions for reconsideration of the BPL rules established in October of 2004.

In the Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) adopted today, the Commission again acknowledged the significant benefits of Access BPL, reaffirmed its commitment to address interference issues, and reemphasized that the Part 15 rule changes were made to ensure that Access BPL operations do not become a source of interference to licensed radio services.

Specifically, the MO&O by the Commission:
Affirms its rules regarding emission limits for BPL, including its determination that the reduction of emissions to 20 dB below the normal Part 15 emissions limits will constitute adequate interference protection for mobile operations;

Denies the request by the amateur radio community to prohibit BPL operations pending further study and to exclude BPL from frequencies used for amateur radio operations;

Denies the request by the television industry to exclude BPL from frequencies above 50 MHz;

Affirms the July 7, 2006 deadline for requiring certification for any equipment manufactured, imported or installed on BPL systems, with the proviso that uncertified equipment already in inventory can be used for replacing defective units or to supplement equipment on existing systems for one year within areas already in operation;

Affirms the requirement that information regarding BPL deployment must be provided in a public database at least 30 days prior to the deployment of that equipment;

Adopts changes regarding protection of radio astronomy stations by requiring a new exclusion zone and amending consultation requirements for these stations; and
Adopts changes to provide for continuing protection for aeronautical stations that are relocated.

Denies the request by the aeronautical industry to exclude BPL operating on low-voltage lines from frequencies reserved for certain aeronautical operations;

Denies the request by the gas and petroleum industry to be considered as public safety entities;

Action by the Commission, August 3, 2006, by Memorandum Opinion and Order (FCC 06-113). Chairman Martin, Commissioners Copps, Adelstein, Tate and McDowell. Separate statements issued by Chairman Martin, Commissioners Copps, Tate, and McDowell.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose..

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet."

--From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

Juliet is not happy with Romeo's name.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;--
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title:--Romeo, doff thy name;
And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

Romeo spews forth the ultimate male response with call me anything you want but not late for dinner.

I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

Open up a word processor and replace Romeo with Server Based Computing. It is only a name. Virtualization is another name. So is Streaming, SAAS, and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

IBM to Acquire FileNet for $1.6B
By Renee Boucher Ferguson
August 10, 2006

"IBM made its 20th "Information On Demand"-based acquisition on Aug. 10, with the announcement that it plans to acquire FileNet for $1.6 billion, or $35 per share.

FileNet marks IBM's third acquisition in less than two weeks. The company also acquired asset management vendor MRO Software on Aug. 3 for $740 million, and the day before it purchased Webify Solutions for an undisclosed sum.

In addition to fitting into IBM's Information On Demand strategy, the FileNet and Webify acquisitions also fit into a category most software vendors are pursuing these days: SOA (service-oriented architecture).

Webify, which will become part of IBM's Software Group as part of the WebSphere brand, provides infrastructure software that helps with the creation, deployment and management of composite applications."

Is it not great to have choices? I suspect this is only the start. The stand alone desktop will remain king for years to come. But who is to be the queen, members of court, or the sheriff.

GraphOn GO-Global for Windows

Have been asked on numerous occasions, ”Is there a solution that does not require Microsoft Terminal Server and RDP.” Of course what the real question they are asking is there a solution that does not require a Terminal Server Client Access License. Yes there is. From the GraphOn web site and their product literature,


“The GO-Global family from GraphOn is a fast, simple, affordable application publishing and Web-enabling solution. Using advanced server-based computing technology and near-zero-footprint clients, GO-Global enables easy, cross-platform application access from anywhere in the world – regardless of connection, location or platform.

If you have the ability to view a flash demo, click the link to go to the GraphOn Go-Global products presentation http://www.graphon.com/flash/flash_demo.html for more background information.

GraphOn also permits private branding!!!

The Invisible Solution.

GO-Global is invisible to your users. Web enabled applications look and feel exactly the same as natively running applications. And as an ISV or an enterprise, you can private label the solution to promote your own branding. Software Development Kits (SDKs) are available for customized solutions.”

Some other features that maybe important to you,

“Drive Letter Mapping. Through the Cluster Manager, administrators can hide client and server drives and remap client drives.

SSL Security. GO-Global provides support for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a method for communication between Windows clients and GO-Global Servers.

Serial and Parallel Port Redirection for Linux. Allows applications running in GO-Global sessions to access devices connected to serial and parallel ports on Linux computers. Mouse Wheel Support for Linux. Allows users of the Linux Client to scroll using the mouse wheel.

Enabling Support for PAE

On Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, GO-Global supports memory in excess of 4 GB by way of the Physical Addressing Extension (PAE).”

For more information on accessing up to 64 GB go to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/pae_os.mspx.


The Cluster Manager is the control center for Go-Global for Windows.
“The Cluster Manager allows you to administer, monitor, and control client access to the GO-Global Server. The Cluster Manager displays a list of the users logged on to a GO-Global Server, along with the applications the users are running, and the time the application was started.

Through the Cluster Manager, you can perform a variety of administrative tasks, such as adding and removing applications, terminating user sessions, and ending processes taking place on the
server.”


Other important information from GraphOn,

“Load Balancing Requirements

A GO-Global Server must be installed on each of the servers in the cluster.

For Web deployment, each of the GO-Global Servers in the cluster must have a Web (server) running and the Web server home directory should contain the GO-Global Web files.”

How is easy is the installation? If you know which web server is installed on the server, then the only choices you need to make is Yes and Next. Then reboot. Copy the license to the server and click on the desktop shortcut “Go Global Cluster Manager”. Simple!

How about the client install? Only Yes and next is required. Then click on the desktop shortcut “Go Global client”. Simple.

Want Windows clients to have access to Unix/Linux applications? Go-Global Unix/Linux?
