Our Work Presented in HPC Event

Last week I took part of the HPC 2010 Symposium. I found an energetic community that is growing year by year. We presented a work that shows some test we did using UtraSPARC T2 in visual computing.

Debian GNU-Linux on 8-core UltraSPARC T2 Processor

First of all, you got to boot from de CD-ROM. You got to deal with ILOM
> set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? false"
Set 'script' to 'setenv auto-boot? false'

-> set /HOST send_break_action=break
Set 'send_break_action' to 'break'

-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started.  To stop, type #.
Once you reach the OK menu:
{0} ok boot cdrom
From that point, you install Debian as usual :)

We are running Debian GNU/Linux on a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server. The machine is powered by 8-core UltraSPARC T2 Processor. The machine supports 64 hardware threads. Lisandro helped me in this project.
Take a look at the output of htop command. We got a visualization problem ;)
