It is interesting that only 107 out of the 446 Linux machines identify by distro - and that Scientific Linux, the distro customized from RHEL by Fermilabs for supercomputer clusters, is not even listed. I suspect Scientific Linux runs on many, perhaps most of the remaining 300+ supercomputers. Perhaps they will include that on the questionnaire next year. I will be back at the show on Thursday and ask. BTW, SC09 is jawdropping awesome. Thanks to Michael Dexter and the Linux Fund folks for the exhibitor guest badges. The show fills the entire A-B-C-D-E exhibit area at the convention center, as well as some of the hallway, and is using the entire space. It is not as big as the Design Automation Conference in Anaheim, and I imagine Consumer Electronics Show and the like are much bigger, but I have never seen so much big iron compute hardware in one place. I was on the floor for 6 hours today, and saw half of it. 20 pounds of papers and tchotchkes so far. My favorite so far is a little round cardboard fan from JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, with "Let's enjoy the sky" on one side, and "How useful satellite is" on the other. They are doing some good work on launch vibration modelling that I hope to use for server sky. The Oregonian incorrectly stated that they have 400gbps to the convention center; it looks more like 40 Gpbs, with about 400 oversubscribed 1 Gbps pipes to the various exhibits. There was about 30 racks of fiber distribution equipment scattered around the floor. NTT was running an uncompressed HDTV video link of the morning commute in Osaka, 50msec speed-of-light delay. The wireless still sucked, though; couldn't get DHCP. At the convention center, some things never change.
