[plug] iVEC Industry Uptake Grant Scheme

[Michael L. Benjamin]

Lustre certainly looks interesting...

True. Also, maybe some ray-tracing would be a better way to go. Good
visual impact, would require a number of cycles depending on complexity.
Have to check out the options available under Linux as I haven't done
a raytrace in... well forever... :)

Kind of meets the requirements better that you put forth though.

Yes, it could be appropriate.  Depends on what you want to do.  I'm not
much of a fan of scyld clusters...  but a lot of people are.  A project
building a cluster utilising something like Lustre to deliver a high
performance parallel database would be cool... perhaps for the financial
institutes?

It is all about Industry Uptake and trying to develop projects which
encourage and promote advanced computing and vis in industry.

We already run probably the most feature rich queue software on our SGI
Altix...
