[hpcdev-discuss] HP, at SUN microsystems

[Bruce Rothermal]

I guess it depends if you are interested in the Hardware or Software 
side. I'm on the software side and know more about that. On the hardware 
side I believe (not an expert) that most of the hardware is done at 
facilities in California and Scotland. If its the software side Sun is a 
very distributed and diverse working environment. Basically people work 
from anywhere they have network connectivity. Since I see that you are 
in India. Sun has an engineering facility in Bangalore. But as I said 
Sun is very distributed. I work with people in the U.S., Europe and 
India. I myself telecommute and work from home in Colorado.

What area of HPC are you interested in? The site doesn't show much at 
this time but this will be changing. We are in the process of getting 
the first project going. It is to create an HPC stack to run on 
opensolaris. The first distro's will be a DVD that contains several 
products that will install and be integrated to work together. The plan 
is to make this all work with the Indiana project. Indiana is a Live CD 
concept which installs the base opensolaris then the user can install 
(Or it can be an automated process) whatever other software on top from 
an online repository. The project will be done opensource and fully in 
the open. We welcome any and all to get involved and help make it what 
it best for the community. It can be as small as making suggestions, to 
helping port some of the best opensource HPC software available or even 
starting a new project to build a new offering in HPC. This can then be 
integrated into the HPC stack.

It would be of great help if someone could let me know the where (cities/ campuses)  SUN is working on HPC.
