News: Boeing puts Linux, AMD supercomputer in orbit
Boeing on Wednesday bought a 96-processor supercomputer based on the Linux operating system and Advanced Micro Devices processors for use in designing the new Delta IV rocket that launches satellites into space.
The system was built by Linux Networx, a Sandy, Utah-based company that specializes in "Beowulf" clusters--gangs of networked Linux machines that collectively tackle computational problems.
