Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server for High Performance Computing Thursday, June 16, 2005 10 a.m. PT, 75 minutes
Presenters: Matt Macinnis Market Manager, Science and Technology Markets Apple Computer
Ernest Prabhakar, Ph.D. Product Manager, UNIX and Xgrid Apple Computer
Mac OS X v10.4 �Tiger� and Mac OS X Server v10.4 �Tiger� provide the ultimate platform for high performance cluster and grid computing. As true 64-bit operating systems, Tiger and Tiger Server allow a single process to directly address up to 16 exabytes of virtual memory. Both client and server versions of the operating system include a distributed resource management service, called Xgrid, that allows you to rapidly assemble grids or clusters without complex configuration steps. And with a refined kernel, an improved UNIX environment and updated Linux compatibility, the latest versions of Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are unrivaled for stability, performance, compatibility and ease-of-use in cluster environments.
In this webcast, you�ll learn about the technical underpinnings of Apple�s latest operating system and how new features and updates will benefit users of Mac OS X-based clusters and grids.
