Sorry if I'm messing something up, but I'm having problems with Linux-Bench. I originally tried running under Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 since that is what our office uses and it is the latest LTS. I couldn't get curl to install with the code on the website... I kept getting errors along the lines of...

I'm attempting to run Linux-Bench for the first time and am having some difficulties. Upon completion, Linux-Bench gives me a results tracking number. I type that number into Parser and get blanks for each of the results. What's going on here? Firewall? Its a corporate firewall and I'm...

So here I am showing my ignorance regarding infiniband, again. I've tried to set up infiniband under both Solaris 11.1 and Openindiana 151a8 on a C6100 node with a Connectx-2 VPI cards running the latest firmware. I used device manager to install the hermon driver and used terminal to install...

All, What software do you like for RAMdisk? I Just picked up two HP QDR infiniband cards that need to be installed and tested. I'm looking for free and simple. I'm installing under two ESXi Hosts and have both Windows and Linux VMs available. I would prefer windows since that will be...

Has anyone tried Open Nebula for cloud management? If so, please provide opinions and thoughts. I'm considering trying to manage vCloud with it.
