“Each node runs Cray’s version of the SuSE Linux operating system. Cray has tuned the Linux kernel to remove unnecessary services from the compute nodes. The result is that the operating system minimizes interruptions to the application codes running on the system, thus giving predictable, repeatable run times for applications. The SuSE Linux operating system on the nodes joins the system services, networking software, communications, I/O, and mathematical libraries, as well as compilers, de######s, and performance tools to form the Cray Linux Environment.”
(Yes, folks, we can’t use the word ‘debug-gers’ without unintelligent clodhopping automated censorship.)
