SUSE Linux Enterprise wins at Final Jeopardy!

By

“Which operating system powers the world’s most famous
supercomputer and Jeopardy! contestant? The answer is SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 11. Watson, developed by IBM, recently won a
Jeopardy practice round against previous champions Ken Jennings and
Brad Rutter and is scheduled to be on the game show on Feb 14 and

servers and SUSE Linux Enterprise is the fastest operating system
on POWER7, making it an ideal choice for Watson.

processing speeds that can interpret the types of “natural
language” questions used in the long-running game show.”
