[hpcdev-discuss] HPC stack project proposal

[Josh Simons]

Hi, Bruce.

Not sure you are looking for a response from a Sun person, but here  
goes...

Sun is already working on defining an HPC software stack, in fact two  
of them, one
for Solaris (both Solaris and Open Solaris) and one for Linux. All of  
these stacks
will be supported by Sun. Our desire is to define these stacks to be  
as close as
possible in terms of the components chosen to enable users to move  
between
Linux and Solaris as easily as possible based on their needs and  
desires.

Typical components include Sun Grid Engine for distributed resource  
management,
Sun Studio tools for C, Fortran, C++, optimized math libraries  
(perflib), precompiled
versions of ScaLAPACK, Sun ClusterTools (Open MPI), InfiniBand  
support, etc.

I would be very interested to hear specific suggestions from the  
community on
other components that should be considered for inclusion.
