Why don't you give us your information so we don't have to? The last thing I need is to be on another list. Tom On Mon, 2003-06-02 at 10:24, Jon hoffman wrote:
I am suprised noe has sent anything to the list about this one. It is from slashdot.org and links to a NYTIMES article (that you have to register before you can read it, which I hate doing but it was worth it for this one). The key is to remember that they are microsoft researchers :O)
You can find the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/02/technology/02SUPE.html
securitas writes "The NY Times reports that a pair of Microsoft researchers are challenging the federal policy on funding supercomputers. Gordon Bell and Jim Gray argue that the money would be better spent on massive storage instead of ultra-fast computers because they believe today's supercomputing centers will be tomorrow's superdata centers. They advocate building cheap Linux-based Beowulf clusters (PCs in parallel) instead of supercomputers." NYTimes free reg blah blah.
