Linux vs Windows - Conquering a Windows Based World

IBM has released an open source software stack to help manage Linux Supercomputers.  The tools that have been tested and integrated by IBM include the Extreme Cluster Administration Toolkit (xCAT), Advance Toolchain for Power Systems 1.1, install scripts, a resource-management tool and a cluster-administration toolkit.

“Releasing the software as open source allows the development community to take part in adding and testing new features, which could be important in the rapidly changing supercomputer field, IBM said.”
