Developed in collaboration with SuSE developers, Alpha Linux
and AlphaServer GS system engineers, the ADK provides documentation
and software, including recommended tools and patches required
for running the Linux 2.4 kernel with either SuSE 7.0 or Red
Hat 7.0 on powerful AlphaServer GS systems.
An initial port of Linux to the AlphaServer GS series has
already been used by customers to run Linux applications on
a single partition while their mission-critical applications
run on other partitions on Tru64 UNIX.
“SuSE and Compaq are working together in many areas
to move Linux more into the high-end of computing. Among
the highlights in this cooperation is our work on support
for the NUMA architecture, as well as improvements to
the scheduler and other key kernel components to make it
better
utilize the enormous potential of the AlphaServer GS
systems. Having the ADK available enables us and our customers
to
implement Linux based solutions for their high-end computing
needs.”
