Loading ...Philippine Weather Service Finds Forecasting Cheaper with Debian Linux Cluster
Yet another Linux success story; From the article:
The Philippine government's official weather service, PAGASA, has replaced its SGI supercomputer with a clustered Debian Linux system that can process information vital to protection against typhoons, floods, droughts, tsunamis and other wild weather conditions at a fraction of the cost.
The cluster includes eight PCs running as a single node, connected via a gigabit switch, each with dual 64-bit Intel Xeon processors running the Debian Linux OS.
=> Debian Linux cluster beats supercomputer in tsunami warnings (via ./)
