Re: Top 500 Supercomputers - November 2012

said by Archivis:

Who does that on a super computer?

That's a good question,

I would presume you could keep your Super Computer crunching or calculating while doing something else in a virtual machine, which would qualify as a mixed OS.

Your guess is as good as mine.

could mixed mean that some control terminal(or whatever you call what is used to send these number crunching monsters their next batch of jobs. as I am going to guess Titan has no keyboard and monitor port itself.) So would it be mixed if say a terminal running windows was sending the super computer jobs via SSH in Putty?

Or a workstation running Linux was sending commands to the super computer which is running Unix or BSD. would that count as one unit still and as such make it "mixed"
