From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can imagine that there would be people who do want cheap, low-power parallel compute, but speaking for myself, I've got no particular use for that today. Personally, if they have available resources for Linux, I'd rather that they go towards improving support for beefier systems like their GPUs, doing parallel compute on Radeons. That's definitely an area that I've seen people complain about being under-resourced on the dev side.

I have no idea if it makes business sense for them, but if they can do something like a 80GB GPU (well, compute accelerator, whatever) that costs a lot less than $43k, that'd probably do more to enable the kind of thing that @[email protected] is talking about.
