Today Amazon sent the Winter of the World by Ken Follett to my Kindle! I think I'll not sleep for some nights. :-D

Creating 32 bits chroot on 64 bits system

I use Fedora 64 bits on my workstation but I need 32 bits chroot of Debian. It is easy to do. Create the chroot following the instructions from:  http://blog.parahard.com/2013/03/creating-debian-chroot-inside-fedora.html The first difference is that you need to add --arch=i386 to the debootstrap command. Then for entering the chroot add linux32 as the first argument after sudo. Something like: $ sudo linux32 chroot debian-wheezy After that even uname -a will show 32 bits instead of 64. The linux32 tool is on the util-linux Fedora package.

Fedora: Creating Debian chroot with ssh server

I use Fedora on the Desktop but I need to do some development on Debian. chroots gives you no performance overhead, while virtual machines gives you CPU and memory insulation.

Rumo ao TOP500

Finalmente obtive o resultado da potência do cluster. O melhor número obtido foi 10,27 Gflops. O computador que esta na posição número 500 do TOP500 de 11/2004 marcou 850.6Gflops. O resultado é bom se o preço do cluster for levado em conta. O investimento foi inferior a R$ 20.000,00 ($ 8000,00). Veja a saida do HPLinpack aqui
