How Old Is That Data?
The explosion of data is a storage burden that all system administrators bear. The agedu tool lets you discover what data is being used.
Hierarchical Data Storage for HPC
HDF5 is a data model, library, and file format used primarily for scientific computing to store and manage data.
Modern Fortran for Today and Tomorrow
Fortran development is still progressing, with a new version scheduled to release in 2018. In this article, we look at Fortran 2008 and the upcoming Fortran 2015.
Modern Fortran – Fortran 95 and 2003
Fortran 90 was only the start. The next two iterations – 95 and 2003 – pulled Fortran into a new era of programming languages.
Diving In
GlusterFS stores data across the network and can be used as a storage back end in cloud environments.
Modern Fortran: Fortran 90
Fortran comprises a huge body of software in high-performance computing. We look at Fortran’s evolution into a modern HPC language.
NVDIMM and the Linux Kernel
Non-volatile dual in-line memory modules will provide storage as fast as RAM and keep its content through a reboot. The Linux kernel is already geared to handle the new technology and can even serve the modules up as block devices.
Let the Editor Wars Begin!
Editors, particularly command-line editors, are an important tool for high-performance computing systems administrators. We point out some editor options with little to no bloodshed.
