“Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading developer of Linux
solutions for PowerPC microprocessors, will demonstrate a
rack-mounted, 8-node, Apple G4 cluster running Black Lab Linux with
Myricom’s high-performance networking fabric.”

“In the general vicinity of the Apple Science & Technology
pavillion, booth 2247, MacWorld attendees will find an iBook
running Black Lab Linux and displaying computation intensive images
generated on the 8-node supercomputer — with only AirPort to
connect the iBook to the cluster.”

“We first introduced Black Lab Linux to MacWorld NY attendees in
1999 with three G3 systems. Following the success of the 4-node
system demonstrated throughout the Apple Science & Technology
Roadshow, this is the first publicly showcased 8-node, 500 MHz G4
cluster,” states Kai Staats, CEO, Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.”
