Melvin's Grid and HPC Blog

I just scanned through the SGE user community mailing list and saw a postings of two new SGE related screencast that I thought that I'll share in this blog entry. The first is a video by Lubomir Petrik
demonstrating the new GUI installer from the latest SGE 6.2u2 version. You can see the screencast at his blog.

The other screencast is by James Coomer, Sun HPC architect, showing the use of Sun Secure Global Desktop working with SGE and integrating xml-qstat for monitoring. The neat demo can be viewed on YouTube here.

A new Top500 list has been started just for Asia and Middle East. Being someone who is born, raised and working in Asia, I'm intrigued by this list. The submission is now open and the first list will be publish in Oct'09. Like the Top500, the Asia Top500 will be ranked by Linpack performance.
