About the Green500

The list:

The genesis of this list started back in April 2005 – after a keynote talk by Dr. Wu-chun Feng at the IEEE IPDPS Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing. The notion was then formally proposed a year later at the aforementioned workshop with a paper and associated talk entitled "Making a Case for a Green500 list." A subsequent presentation at Clusters and Computational Grids for Scientific Computing 2006, entitled "Global Climate Warming? Yes … In The Machine Room," led to more fervent interest, and ultimately, the announcement of the Green500 at SC|06. One year later at SC|07, the inaugural list was released and a new era of Green Supercomputing began.

For additional literature and information on Green Supercomputing, please visit the Supercomputing in Small Spaces project – the birthplace of Green Destiny (shown on right), a 240-node supercomputer in five square feet and consuming a mere 3.2 kW of power (when booted diskless) and 5.2 kW of power (when booted with disks and running a CPU-intensive job).

Month of April Wrap up (Lainie gets her ears cleaned)

Now that it is may I am having a hard time recalling what was on this video but I am sure it is of the same vein as some of the others. Shawn shot most of this one, I did the edit in case some of her artisitic talent was left on the cutting room floor that was my fault.

One thing I remember about April is that is when one, the other, or both of the kids starting getting up at the crack of dawn. In case you sleep though the crack of dawn - my preference - it is around 5:30 right now. The other development on the sleeping front is eLaine now flips over on her belly and doen't flip back so she signals for immeadate assistance.

Spring is about a month late here in Seattle, April was one of the 10 coldest on record. I you like flowering trees it is a good thing, they lasted for weeks.
