Andrew Feldman, CEO of AMD’s SeaMicro, made a presentation that announced the company’s Data Center Computer Platform this afternoon in San Francisco. The SM15000 Server Platform is optimized for big data and the cloud. The company claims that they have been able to reduce power dissipation by half and have been able to supply Storage Area Network functionality at Direct Attach Storage pricing through coupling data storage through a "Freedom Fabric" switch.

Now what is all of this about?

Well listen to this Youtube of Mr. Feldman discussing the coming Gigantic load on Data Centers and the Major Changes in the usage of Computing power....via mobile applications.

Do you work in the Tech sector?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I am a retired main frame guy....

He is talking about major changes....in the video...would love to see his charts.

[EEGator]

Did you enjoy your work?

I plan to go into the power industry instead of tech.

As the proud builder/owner of a new AMD FX-8350 8 core system that scored 26 megaflops on its first speed test, this is way cool. Big Data / Hadoop here we come!!!

Think your data is vulnerable now, just wait until it’s all in the cloud.

And given that Google is the techno version of a sleazy liberal, just think of what’ll be done in the cloud.

Be afraid, be afraid...and keep your data far, far away.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yes....See this article "

Upgrade coal power and cut 15% of emissions. Where is the Green applause?

China is leaving the rest of the world behind in using their resources to the max....Huge Coal fired power generation units.

There is more than Google....out there.

Did you look at the video....the numbers of new users coming is enormous.

And Big Data Centers consume BIG POWER.

Running an overclocked FX 8120 here....with A Fedora based Distro from Australia...Koroga.

Pretty slick....

Great for cutting and pasting from multiple sources....

Just creat a new window when desired....stack up the old ones on the right side of the display.

8 gig of memory ....been as high as 23 windows with an estimated 200 tabs.....

Gave all e processors something to do....still responsive.

Talking about Firefox windows.,...

Linux Distro Link:

Korora Project

It has been working Great for me.

Think I am on Base Fedora 17 but I have been updating as they become available.

I think it is close to a rolling updating scheme.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Guess I am behind the 18 Beta yet:

***************************************

linux (3.8.4) 3.7.7 3.4.4 Linux Kernal versions.

Latest possible is 3.8.4--- 18 Beta is at 3.7.7.

(So what is this CLOUD thingee?)

A place I avoided in the 70s and will NEVER warm up to by whatever 'warm and fuzzy' name they choose for it.

If I'm not in total control of my data and software, on my own hard drive and other backup devices, everybody in the world is..."

Not an unjustified paranoia.

[publius911]

Did you look at the video....the numbers of new users coming is enormous.

Ahhh. The vagaries and mindlessness of 'popularity!"

Ever see the number which flock to rap and 'reality' shows?

It's freaking frightening!

Haven’t played much with over clocking mine, it’s supposed to be 4Ghz, CPU-Z reported it at 4.2Ghz, so I started my benchmarks there. Word is this thing will OC up to almost 6Ghz with water cooling.

Looking into a good water cooling kit. The case I bought has ports in the back already for water cooling, so I won’t be drilling out a case.

I built this machine last weekend, thus far I’m very VERY happy with the results. Tasks that used to take 5-6 minutes on my old Shuttle SFF pc take about 15 seconds on the new beast. Gotta love it.

I have been eyeing the Cooler Master kit....

COOLER MASTER Seidon 240M RL-S24M-24PK-R1 Water Cooler

but I have older cases so not sure it would fit.

It doesn't seem to do much more that the good air coolers which are large .
