Fixstars: Enterprise Linux OS “Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux (YDEL) for NVIDIA CUDA”, optimal GPU Computing
Last year in July Fixstars had released Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 followed by Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux 6.2 for Cell, and this time they offer Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux 6.2 for NVIDIA’s CUDA architecture promising for a less complex and faster GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) Computing. YDEL for CUDA also boasts to be the first enterprise Linux OS built for optimal GPU computing.
The Tokyo-based company Fixstars announces the subscription fee for each server for businesses as 400 USD/year and it is possible to obtain it as well as the non-supported version for educational purposes for free online on Fixstars’ website.
Tokyo – March 2, 2010 – Fixstars releases “Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux for CUDA™”, the first enterprise Linux OS optimized for GPU computing. YDEL for CUDA offers end users, developers and integrators a faster, more reliable, and less complex GPU computing experience.
