Linux Journal Issue #175/November 2008
There aren’t most numbers which put a US inhabitant debt to shame, though here’s one: 1,100,000,000,000,000. What’s that? That’s how most floating-point operations per second a Roadrunner supercomputer during Las Alamos can perform. That’s about 100 FLOPS per dollar of US debt (unfortunately, a debt is winning a second derivative race). Read a essay about Roadrunner in this month’s High Performance Computing emanate of LJ. Along with that, find out how to module a Cell processor as well as how to make use of CUDA with your NVIDIA GPU. Also in this issue: Mr HandS (aka Kyle Rankin) gives us a couple of tips upon regulating Compiz, Chef Marcel shows we how to get blogging off your image quicker, Mick Bauer talks about Samba security, Dan Sawyer interviews Cory Doctrow as well as Doc talks about how report record can start democracy as well as repair a inhabitant debt (just teasing about which final part). That as well as some-more for your celebration of a mass wish in this month’s Linux Journal.
