Remarkably for Google this is a less disruptive technology since Tenzing supports a mostly complete SQL language syntax with some extensions.

Now SeaMicro steps into the game, kick starting a super dense intel server. The SM10000-XE uses 1/2 the power, takes 1/3 the space, and delivers 12x the bandwidth of today’s equivalent servers.

We've loved the idea of the low cost Pi Linux box since it was announced. The promise of allowing people to create the next generation of technology that is muti-core clusters and smart networked was really compelling.

The European Union said last week that it would double it's investment in it's push for Exascale computing, according to an article in ComputerWorld. This would bring the funding to EURO1.2B from the original EURO630 million.
