Development of Linux on POWER at the OSU Open Source Lab

Open-access IBM QS20 Cell BE blade

Specs
IBM QS20 Cell Broadband Engine Blade (3 blades)
2 x dual-core Cell BE 0200-250
1G RAM
1 x 36G IDE (laptop) HD

Operating System
Fedora 8

Access
The system is available for developer use. Please request an account if you'd like to do development work on it.

Once you get an account, please connect using ibmcell.osuosl.org.

Notes:
Two of the blades will be setup as open-access much like the other open-access machines are. The last blade will be primarily used as a dedicated development machine for specific projects that are in need of a whole blade system. Specifics on the third blade are still up in the air, but this is the general idea so far.

Thanks!
