| Clustering Encyclopedia Cluster Resources, Inc. and LinuxHPC.org announced today the release of ClusterBuilder.org version 1.3, featuring the new Clustering Encyclopedia - a specialized reference source of high-performance computing (HPC) technologies and products. ClusterBuilder.org is a Web site created through the combined efforts of Cluster Resources and LinuxHPC.org, designed to help cluster administrators, technical evaluators and purchase evaluators build out better cluster, grid and utility-based computing environments. The new Clustering Encyclopedia adds more than 130 new articles and 160 pages of cluster related information, demonstrating ClusterBuilder.org's continued efforts to provide an HPC centric research location and information portal for HPC technologies. The encyclopedia features brief but thorough overviews on a number of supercomputing concepts, products and subjects such as batch processing, utility computing, multi-core processors, workload managers, etc. All articles and topics included in the encyclopedia relate to the specific categories and products included in the Software, Hardware and Network sections of ClusterBuilder.org. The articles are arranged alphabetically and were produced using first- and third-party content. In addition to the encyclopedia, the new version of ClusterBuilder.org also contains a hyper-linked index, which acts as a portal to quickly and easily guide users to the specific content they seek. Cluster Builder 1.3 also includes improvements and updates to ensure all content remains current and applicable. Cluster Builder invites visitors to give suggestions, feedback and information updates on new technologies, discoveries and products. Future enhancements to the encyclopedia will include a topical menu, expansions to existing articles and the addition of new articles regarding HPC centric concepts and products. ClusterBuilder.org continues to provide access channels to a number of popular services such as LinuxHPC.org's Request For Quote (RFQ) service, which allows those purchasing a cluster to submit one request-for-quote form to all desired vendors, instead of having to search out and submit a form to each individual vendor. The service allows purchasers to obtain quotes from virtually any vendor including IBM, HP, Cray and many other leading vendors. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
