Accelerating Technical Computing with Sistina's GFS-Based Storage Clusters

Overview Technical computing applications are among the most demanding for any storage system constructed today. This is especially true for technical applications that use parallel computing, where multiple machines work together to compute some part of a parallel calculation. Parallel computing has become more popular for technical computing as both the software and hardware required has matured. Technical computing using parallel Linux computers, known as Beowulfs, has become popular due to the potential for lower hardware costs and scalable performance using commodity Intel or Alpha processors.
