Linux called into service for project that can’t afford a Blue Screen of Death.
The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project which fired its first shot yesterday around its 27km circuit, runs Linux.
InternetNews’ Sean Michael Kerner blogs that CERN, “which is the organisation that runs the LHC project is using something called CernVM which is is custom Linux distribution. According to VMware, CernVM runs inside of VMware virtual machines that include PC and Macs across a grid that encompasses the power of approximately 40 000 CPUs and some 15 petabytes of data a year.”
CERN is also a backer of the Scientific Linux distribution on which the LHC project is apparently based.
