You can find the list of 2023 project allocations from the DOE INCITE program here [1]. INCITE allocates the majority of compute hours at the Leadership Computing Facilities, which includes the systems at Argonne and Oak Ridge. [1] https:&

Believe you’re thinking of the HPC facilities at LLNL and LANL. Frontier is run under DOE ASCR as one of the Leadership Computing Facilities (LCF), which focus mainly on open science use cases. Most of the compute hours in the LCFs is alloc

Also consider the ecosystem for these boards. Do you want your researchers dealing with the non-upstreamed support around Allwinner chips? Additionally consider time to solution, this machine is based on BitScope's Blade: http:/&

Another neat use-case for this hardware is scale testing of systems management tooling, eg. provisioning, configuration management. HPC centers are looking at the possibility of having to manage 100k+ nodes in a single cluster. Additional

I've also done three of these builds so far. Used the SC847A chassis with direct iPass cable access (i.e. no port multipliers), 4 drives per cable. Downside is you need 9x SFF-8087 connectors on controllers, and 9 iPass cables to somehow ro

The Canon PIXMA MX870 lets you scan and print over wifi. On a Mac you can even use Image Capture. It shows up under "Shared". I'm sure other Canon scanners have this feature as well.

With Snow Leopard I'd say just use Spotlight. Its just as fast as QS, Lunchbar, or Google QSB for me. Since its built in and already running why bother using anything else? Of course I use it just to search and launch apps and files.
