Mumbai/Chennai, Nov. 13 The Tata Group on Tuesday announced that its
supercomputer Eka, which became operational this October, has been adjudged
the world's fourth fastest.
This distinction was made at the International Conference for High
Performance Computing Networking Storage and Analysis at Nevada, US.
The super machine, developed at Tata Group's Computational Research
Laboratories (CRL) in Pune, is the fastest computer in Asia and the first
one developed using corporate funding, said Mr S. Ramadorai, Chairman, CRL,
at a news conference in Mumbai.
Eka (Sanskrit word for number one), is a Hewlett-Packard based system with a
performance of 117.9 teraflops. A teraflop equals a trillion calculations
per second.
A supercomputer is the equivalent of 20,000 ordinary computers put together
but the comparison stops with power. "It is like comparing an aeroplane and
a bicycle," added Mr Ramadorai.
'Eka' was developed with an investment of $30 million (Rs 120 crore) in six
weeks' time, funded entirely by Tata Sons.
TCS, Tata Technologies, Tata Strategic Management Group and other companies
from the Tata stable have contributed to the project.
This computer will enable CRL to offer computing services in the field of
weather forecasting, oil & gas exploration, drug discovery, gaming &
animation and data mining, among others.
*The supercomputer is powered by a Linux open source operating system and it
is based on standard hardware to address the issue of application
scalability, which has been the bane of supercomputing till date.
*
The Tata Group now intends to market the supercomputers` capabilities to
potential customers. "We are in active negotiations with government and
private agencies," said Mr Ramadorai.
Group company Tata Elxsi and aircraft maker Boeing have been using the
supercomputer on a pilot basis.
Commenting on potential models of doing business, Dr Sunil Sherlekar, Head,
Embedded Innovation Labs, TCS, said: "We will be selling time to our
customers to use these systems. Another model could be to build slightly
smaller capacity systems for our clients on a turnkey basis."

Hi,
Are you working on any free software or open source (FOSS) project? Do
you know anyone who is?
There's a great opportunity for all Indian FOSS contributors to showcase
their work at the national level, and perhaps global too! Plus, the
development team (or individual) can get a minimum cash prize of Rs 25,000!
But, there's more to it than just cash prize. The winners will get
exclusive coverage in LINUX For You magazine, and openITis.com (aka
linuxforu.com). Which in turn could mean: (a) more media coverage for
the project and its developers, (b) publicity amongst targeted
customers, and (c) more contributors getting attracted to the project.
Launched with an initial kitty of Rs 5 lakhs, the FOSS India Awards aim
to recognise India's top 20 FOSS projects. The LINUX For You team is
working with FOSII (Forum for Open Source Initiatives in India) on this
venture.
The registration for FOSS India Awards is FREE! All one has to do to
register is to visit http://www.openitis.com/awards/ and fill in the
two-minute form. Registration for FOSS India Awards is open till 15th
December '07. The awards will be announced during Open Source India Week
(aka LinuxAsia 2008) during the 2nd week of February '08.
Please do forward this message to anyone whom you believe is working on
a FOSS project, and is a good candidate.
Let's prove to the World that India contributes to FOSS too...
Best Wishes!
LINUX For You team

Hi All,
Just an headsup on the upcoming firefox 3 ( Granparadiso ). This
version is very very snappy as against firefox 2.
Also a developer named Pavlov has implemented a "memory defrag" kind
of plugin for firefox 3 that works real well, driving down the memory
usage drastically. (
http://www.pavlov.net/blog/archives/2007/11/memory_fragment.html )
A point in case is the speed with which ff 3 can spawn new windows.
This is specifically more important when the window in question is a
small login popup or such.
Another example - As I type this, I am using a measly 512 mb, T42
centrino laptop with the following elements in memory
1. Lotus Notes - Hog hog hog
2. PDF viewer with a image heavy file open
3. 2 xls in openoffice.
4. Terminal
5. John the cracker cracking my passwd file in background.
Lastly firefox 3 with no less than 18 tabs open consuming 94 mb of
non-shared memory and 119 mb gross memory !
And with compiz and wobbly effects on. As of now no slowdown in any
of my applications. W00t !
Plugin compatibility
==============
>From my perspective I care only about adblock plus and no-script which
work with the current alpha available on ubuntu gutsy 7.10
Suggested you give firefox 3 a try. There are few things that are
different from 2.0 and will require you to be generally competent with
fixing problem with help via Google searches.
regards,
C
Hello and Diwali Greetings to all!
We are in the process of migrating the some of the services to a
better server with better connectivity. At first, Ilug-bom wiki has
been migrated and is working at http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki .
Taking Siddhesh's suggestions forward, is it a good idea to keep the
wiki itself as the main website?
