The company's highly successful Java language, which was introduced in 1991, has become ubiquitous in network-centric and embedded computing. Today, there's a whole research team at Sun Labs devoted to programming languages, and the big project there in recent years has been the development of the Fortress programming language. The end game is to "do for Fortran what Java did for C."</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">Unlike Java though, Fortress is geared for HPC applications, with programmability as a major design goal. </div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">"We were looking for a language that was good for multicore, for supercomputing, and for everything in between," explains Eric Allen, Principal Investigator of the Programming Languages Research Group at Sun Labs.</div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/hpc/" rel="tag">hpc</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/computer/" rel="tag">computer</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/fortran/" rel="tag">fortran</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/computing/" rel="tag">computing</a></div>http://www.hpcwire.com/topic/developertools/Suns_Fortress_Language_Parallelism_by_Default.htmlWed, 23 Jul 2008 22:06:05 GMTOpenSolaris on Virtual Box VM for FREEhttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/E4EC72A6-E29B-4C36-874E-C15B9B6B826E/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/adosuzano/">adosuzano</a><br><b>clipper's remarks:</b> go and check detailed installation instructions directly on that site. <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.comp-sos.com/index.php/review/operating-systems/42-unix/78-install-opensolaris-virtualbox-opensolaris-200805" title="http://www.comp-sos.com/index.php/review/operating-systems/42-unix/78-install-opensolaris-virtualbox-opensolaris-200805">www.comp-sos.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="100%" class="contentheading"> Step by step install of OpenSolaris in VirtualBox </TD></tr></table></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><H3>Step by step install of Open Solaris 2008.05 on VBox using Vista as hosting operating system</H3></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P>We are not showing you how to install VirtualBox, all you need is listed below</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><UL> <LI><A href="https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI" target="_blank">click here choose and download Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6, </A></LI> <LI><A href="http://www.comp-sos.com/compsosfiles/VBox16Manual.pdf">Click here to download the VirtualBox User Manual (PDF)</A></LI> </UL></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P><A href="http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/" target="_blank">Download OpenSolaris from OpenSolaris.org, </A>once the site is loaded you will find a [ Quick Download Links ] box at the top right of the page, choose OpenSolaris 2008.05.
