SiCortex, claiming to be the first company to engineer a Linux cluster from the silicon up, has secured $10 million in venture capital. The funds have arrived as the company "launches its super energy efficient high performance Linux cluster computers," SiCortex said.

How to Set Up a High Performance Cluster (HPC) Using Debian Lenny and Kerrighed. There are many guides found on the net describing Kerrighed and how to set it up using Ubuntu and others.However, to the best of my knowledge there isn’t a step by step guide specifically designed for Kerrighed using Debian Lenny. So here it is.

CSIRO will spend up to $5 million on a Linux-based high performance computing system to help boost research efforts at the Pawsey Centre for SKA Science in Perth.

Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity - Water swaps Ballnux for GNU/Linux; Red Hat upgraded by a longtime foe
Good news has come from Kuwait, which is one of Microsoft's key victims [1, 2].

SC07 Microsoft's charge into the high performance computing game continues at pace. The software maker this week announced that its new cluster operating system - HPC Server 2008 - based on Windows Server 2008 will ship next Summer. In addition, the code dandy has fired up a Parallel Computing Initiative to develop more parallelized software for both HPC and business users.

This week we interviewed Ken Elkabany, CEO of another company with a business model on top of scientific open source software: PiCloud. PiCloud allows running any Python code on an auto-scaling, high-performance cluster in a server-less cloud. That includes SciPy code. We hope this kind of interview inspires scientist and developers to turn into FLOSS entrepreneurs.

So, what is MySQL Cluster? It is a database solution which tries to solve high availability issues by using multiple synchronous masters (for the lack of a better phrase) in a shared-nothing environment. In order to solve a lot of the latency issues associated with multiple masters, it keeps all the indexed data in memory to enable fast processing of the data.

This is how to setup the apache high availability cluster in debian with NFS as data storage, In this setup you can add many servers in cluster.

This tutorial shows how to set up a two-node Apache web server cluster that provides high-availability. In front of the Apache cluster we create a load balancer that splits up incoming requests between the two Apache nodes. Because we do not want the load balancer to become another "Single Point Of Failure", we must provide high-availability for the load balancer, too.
