“Penguin Computing appears to be the latest miner in the Linux
server gold rush, delivering an eight-way server based on Intel’s
500-MHz Pentium III Xeon chip and running Red Hat’s 5.2 Version of
Linux.”
“Scheduled to be shown off at next week’s Internet World show in
Los Angeles, the system features a 128MB Level 3 cache, intended to
enhance the capability to access data in large corporate databases
more quickly.”
“The new system uses NEC’s Acqua chipset to support eight-way
processing and has made its own software modification to Linux,
although the company plans to implement Intel’s Profusion chip set
for eight-way processing later this year.”
