Scaling supercomputers with Linux

feder tells us about a story from InformationWeek: “Cray’s former chief architect for massively parallel processor systems, Steve Oberlin, is president and CEO of Unlimited Scale Inc. Working out of his home in Chippewa Falls, Wis., and employing fewer than a dozen former Cray colleagues in South St. Paul, Minn., Oberlin says his new company, formed last year, aims to build a Linux architecture for scaling supercomputers made of low-cost nodes.”
