Remember SCO?

Authored by: tiger99 on Tuesday, December 18 2012 @ 06:41 AM EST

One of the main reasons for PJ creating Groklaw, but now almost gone. The world is a better place without them. I seem to recall that their CEO, Darl McBride, claimed that it was impossible for Linux to have been made to scale so well (specifically in SMP systems) unless the developers had stolen code fron Unix. Well, strangely enough, even then, Linux could support more CPU cores than SCO Unix.....

Now a supercomputing cluster may be closer to a networked array of computers than a SMP system, but may involve features of each, e.g. a SMP CPU cluster on each network node, so the OS has to scale in at least two ways. Apparently Linux has been doing that rather well for some considerable time, the rise of Linux in supercomputers almost mirroring the fall of SCO.
