Today is quite the day for developers here at Sun. In addition to the xVM VirtualBox 2.0 release, today we are announcing the availability of Sun HPC ClusterTools 8.0, which now supports Linux distributions, as well as Solaris and OpenSolaris OSs.

For the most complete roundup of the announcement, cruise on over to Kuldip's blog. The short of it is that in addition to a complete line of HPC ready servers, Sun is also investing in complete HPC software stacks on both Solaris and Linux OSs. Plus, Kuldip notes a bunch more highlights, including:
  • Based on the open source Open MPI project, version 1.3
  • For the first time, available and supported on Linux (RHEL 4&5, SLES 9&10) as well as Solaris 10 OS
  • Available with the next OpenSolaris OS release
  • Supported with Sun Studio compilers and tools and GNU/gcc toolchains on both Solaris and Linux OSs
  • MPI profiling support with Sun Studio Analyzer, plus support for VampirTrace and MPI PERUSE
