New Cray OS Brings ISVs in for a Soft Landing

,----[ Quote ]
| Cray has never made a big deal about the
| custom Linux operating system it packages with
| its XT supercomputing line. In general,
| companies don't like to tout proprietary OS
| environments since they tend to lock custom
| codes in and third-party ISV applications out.
| But the third generation Cray Linux
| Environment (CLE3) that the company announced
| on Wednesday is designed to make elite
| supercomputing an ISV-friendly experience.

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most important features in this
| latest version of the Cray Linux Environment
| is the introduction of the new Cluster
