I was on the committee for the supercomputer purchase at work, and some vendors thought that running Windows was a good idea. That, in response to our request for a system with very low downtime and very high computational capacity.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-25297311392123980922009-08-11T09:23:42.041-04:002009-08-11T09:23:42.041-04:00Alas, I am rather sparse in the high performance c...Alas, I am rather sparse in the high performance computing field. I know one thing: don't use a Windows OS...<br /><br />I have funding for this year and two more, in which time I have to convince someone I'll make a great lecturer permanently... but I know all the job lists, newsletters and sites for PoS, so I'll probably hear of it before you guys. Don't let that stop you, though. At least one position was mentioned to me I hadn't heard before. I have one application out there now.John S.

Unfortunately I seem to have an amount of "free" reading time inversely proportional to the number of book recommendations I get, but that isn't such a terrible cross to bear all things considered.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
