This reminds me of a Linux Journal piece I did 5 years ago on system administration of the Watson supercomputer (after they got their 15 minutes of fame on Jeopardy): http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/system-administration-ibm-watson-supercomputer?page=0,1 http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/system-administration-ib...
