RandomGS310TIL that all of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers run on Linux.
If you look at it logically, it only makes sense.
With these Supercomputers, you often run on very specialized Hardware which you have to write costum kernels and drivers for, and if you arent willing to spend millions to get Microsoft to support it, your only other Option is Linux really
Not really, we are not in the eighties anymore, modern supercomputers are mainly a bunch of off the shelf servers connected together
sp3ctr4lI mean, what the first person said is true…
… and what you have just said is true.
There is no tension between these concepts.
Nearly all servers run on linux, nearly all supercomputers are some kind of locally networked cluster.
