New Poll - Should forums be added to LinuxHPC.org
Should I add forums to LinuxHPC.org? I could have several catagories such as clustering, hardware, scientific applications, etc. or I could add forums for seperate popular distributions. In addition I could turn threading on for news postings down the center column. Take the poll or send me a quick email and let me know what would be most useful to you.

HP Direct
If you don't know about HP Direct you should check it out. I've found this program very useful. They setup a website for you with 5-18% discount and you get assigned a sales rep that actually answers the phone. They even have a parts number search engine. More info...

One machine, ASCI Purple for nuclear weapons research, will be three times faster than the world's current top-ranked supercomputer, NEC's Earth Simulator, which has been clocked at 35 trillion calculations per second, or "teraflops." The other machine, the Linux-powered Blue Gene/L for civilian research, will be 10 times faster than Earth Simulator, with a speed of 360 teraflops, according to IBM.
Also included in the $290 million government contract is a third, smaller computer--a comparatively ordinary cluster of 944 x335 servers and 32 x345 machines.
The deal, scheduled for announcement at the SC2002 supercomputer show in Baltimore, reflects the progress IBM has made in the supercomputer market, beyond its stronghold of mainframes and other business-oriented computers that handle tasks such as logging inventory and sales transactions.
