Subject: Need a New Paradigm
Date: Fri, 24 Ago 07 22:45:21 GMT
The weekly roundup of interesting links is based around
my feeling (that I’ve had for a couple of years) that I
need a new computing paradigm in my life. I’m fed up with
Windows, Linux and MacOSX; I’m fed up Python and web stuff;
I’m fed up with mouses, pointers, windows and whatnot…
If I ever get the chance (read: the time AND the money)
these are some of the options.
Hardware:
* TILE64. PROCESSOR FAMILY
http://www.tilera.com/products/processors.php
* Azul Compute Appliances
http://www.azulsystems.com/products/compute_appliance_specs.htm
I’m undecided between building my own system out of Tile64
64 core processors or buying the 768 CPU, 768 Gb machine from
Azul.
* BlueArc Storage Products
http://www.bluearc.com/html/products/titan.shtml
I think that here the 256Tb solidstate storage system
would be enough for my needs.
Software:
* Plan 9
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/uriel/mirror/9book.pdf
* Oberon
http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/
I like the spartan interfaces; its all so basic but all so full
of possibilities
* Rebol Internet OS and programming language
http://www.rebol.com/
I love the one liners.
