- Why computers fail
- Good failure data for PCs is hard to find: who knows how many times PC users are told to reinstall Windows? But in a recent paper, Bianca Schroeder and Garth Gibson of CMU found some surprising results in 10 years of large scale cluster system failures at Los Alamos National...

- PS3 chip powers world's fastest computer
- Some scoffed at the 8 PS3 supercomputer. But not the scientists at Los Alamos National Labs. They used the idea to build a 1 petaflop computer named Roadrunner - the world's fastest. Here's how. 1,000 trillion floating point operations per second Fine-grained simulation of aging nuclear...

- Breaking out of walled gardens: The promise of ethernet interconnection
- COLT has always been a pioneer in the delivery of Ethernet services. Our Ethernet capability stretches back to 1993 when we launched our first point-to-point Ethernet service. We quickly developed it into our standard Ethernet service, COLT LANL ink, and followed that with Ethernet over DSL , hub-and-spoke and any-to-any...

- A Study of FDDI and Ethernet Traffic on the LANL Network Backbone
- This paper discusses several network traffic traces taken on the Los Alamos National Laboratory backbone between 2001 and 2002. These traces, approximately 1.2 terabytes of binary data, will soon be released for public study in an anonymous form. This paper will discuss the collection methodology, tools, and an analysis showing...

- An 'underground' radio to save lives
- The Duluth News Tribune wrote last week about a communication device which could be a lifesaver for miners. This invention is the brainchild of David Reagor, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL. His prototype radio works at depths of 500 feet and is based on very low frequency...

- Windows for supercomputers likely out by fall
- Windows for supercomputers likely out by fallLate againLast week we learned that Windows hopes to have a 64-bit OS running soon. Today we learn Windows hopes to introduce a beta Windows supercomputing cluster this summer. Yawn.Good thing MS gets a 60 percent profit margin on its desktop and...
