Submission + - Why "Gaming" Chips Are Moving Into the Server Room 1
Esther Schindler writes: "After several years of trying, graphics processing units (GPUs) are beginning to win over the major server vendors. Dell and IBM are the first tier-one server vendors to adopt GPUs as server processors for high-performance computing (HPC). Here’s a high level view of the hardware change and what it might mean to your data center. (Hint: faster servers.) The article also addresses what it takes to write software for GPUs: "Adopting GPU computing is not a drop-in task. You can’t just add a few boards and let the processors do the rest, as when you add more CPUs. Some programming work has to be done, and it’s not something that can be accomplished with a few libraries and lines of code.""

Submission + - Fanboy: The story behind tech's favorite put-down (technologizer.com) 1
harrymcc writes: Dismissing a person whose taste in tech products differs from yours as a mere fanboy--especially if that person is an Apple fan, and you aren't--has become so common that it's a cliche. But where'd the word come from? I was unsatisfied with the dictionary explanation, so I did my homework, and traced it to its origin in a 1973 fanzine with a print run of eleven copies. Jay Lynch, the underground cartoonist and co-creator of Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids, coined "fanboy"--long before it wound up in movies, TV shows, books, and heated online discussions everywhere.

Submission + - Facebook Gobbling Up Data Center Space (datacenterknowledge.com)
miller60 writes: Serving 400 million users requires a lot of servers. That's why Facebook is amassing data centers in key markets in Silicon Valley and northern Virginia. The social network has leased large chunks of space in brand new facilities in Santa Clara, Calif. and Ashburn, Va., even as it continues to build its own data center in Prineville, Oregon. Facebook has admitted having least 30,000 servers, but that was more than 100 million users ago.
