MJB Associates can provide the expertise needed for
your transition to the latest 64-bit hardware and operating systems
for your home or office.
We can provide customized computers specially
constructed for extreme environmental conditions. This
approach to quality construction can significantly reduce your down time
due to electrical anomalies, overheating, dust, moisture and industrial
contaminants. Case modifications to add extra cooling fans provide
additional protection against CPU and motherboard overheating.
Additional surge protection circuitry is also added for enhanced component
protection. Protective electronic coatings help reduce the
possibility of failure from condensation, salt spray and other
environmental contaminants.
Our current approach is to work exclusively with the
64-bit technology now available. New 64-bit software is
currently being developed and will be on the market shortly.
Purchasing the latest hardware now will guarantee
compatibility for future 64-bit software releases.
The 64-bit technology systems will have tremendous
performance gains due to monumental increases in memory capacity.
Operating systems will take advantage of this by loading and running large
programs from the increased system memory. Accessing memory is
10,000 times faster than trying to access information from the hard
disk. These systems are also able to run existing 32-bit
software without difficulty.
Business packages can provide customized state of the art
Desktop systems for extended service life and reduced maintenance
cost.
Why invest in present technology only to face increased
depreciation when the 64-bit systems become the industry
standard? *****
This HP system represents our best value in a desktop
workstation. Currently, many workstation and notebook configurations are
available.
Generally, low cost or economy configurations should be
avoided. The Linux operating system provides the best performance on 64-bit
computers using additional 64-bit graphics cards.
The Linux Mint OS used provides access to over 30,000
free software applications, many of which parallel available Windows
applications. You do not need to install or maintain anti-virus protection
with Linux. The Open Office suite is provided with the OS and emulates MS
Office* applications such as Word*, Excel*, Access* and
PowerPoint*.
The following free programs are also available: Google
Earth, Google Picasa, Firefox, Google Chrome 64-bit Browser, Opera Browser,
TrueCrypt, LimeWire and many others.

"The operating system for Jaguar is the Cray Linux
Environment. This consists of a full-featured version of Linux on the
service nodes and the Compute Node Linux micro-kernel on the compute nodes.
The micro-kernel is designed to minimize partition overhead allowing
scalable, low-latency global communications."
This is currently the fastest (non-GPU) computer in the world. Currently,
the fastest supercomputer is the China's Tiahne-1A which consists of 14,336
Intel Xeon CPS's and 7,168 Nvidia Tesla M2050 GPU's It's contained in 103
cabinets and weighs 155 tons, and consumes over 4 megawatts of
electricity.
Both the original Tianhe-1 and Tianhe-1A use a Linux-based
operating system
