Hm, maybe posting this to HN wasn't the best idea...?

- Firerouge 5y agoMaybe we'll get a follow-up on hosting a distributed cluster of casios to handle global load balancing
- juanitolol 5y agolol
- marianov 5y agoAWS Casio as a service.
- pletnes 5y agoc4s?
- to11mtm 5y agoNawww, You'd want to call it Casiopeia (sic).
- TypeCaste 5y agoPerhaps vertically scaling this on a Casio FX-CG50PRIZM is an option?
- nyadesu 5y agoop just need to add some cache servers in front of it and it'll be fine, impressive
- midasuni 5y agoBack in my day it was a Beowulf cluster running on hot grits serving Natalie Portman pictures
- fouc 5y agoOh man, Beowulf clusters, I forgot all about those. How come we never hear about them anymore?
- efreak 5y agoInferno is available for Nintendo DS, more info at https://gamebrew.org/wiki/Inferno_DS https://gamebrew.org/wiki/Inferno_DS I can verify that it runs, at least, on a Nintendo DSi, though I never actually did anything with it and didn't have another DSi (or enough knowledge) to find out if it could actually network.
- psyc 5y agoI'm guessing because recurring one-liners don't do as well here as they did on SlashDot.
- floren 5y ago"Running MPI programs on a cluster of commodity hardware" was perhaps a sufficiently novel idea to warrant a unique name back in the 90s, but these days it's more or less the standard for all but the most exotic and expensive of scientific computing... and even those expensive custom supercomputers tend to still be x86 processors running MPI code. Basically you don't hear about them any more because it's all Beowulf clusters now.
- lupire 5y agoI think the "Beowulf" name (the name of the first well known computer cluster) was mostly a Slashdot meme. As Slashdot faded, so did the name "Beowulf".
- stjohnswarts 5y agoBecause now they're just clusters. Lots of people make hobby ones out of rpi's to tinker with

- luke2m 5y agoThanks.
- amelius 5y agoSo most of the content (images, font) is hosted elsewhere ...
- stjohnswarts 5y agoof course just like with most places using content providers :) . It would take forever (relatively)to pull those off the casio vs the html text for the page.
- normac2 5y agoStill hanging in there so far! Bit slow, but still faster than cnn.com for me.
