these are the most expensive and fastest systems that can be purchased or created. US: Summit (created by IBM for Oak Ridge National Laboratory) uses IBM POWER9 CPUs and Nvidia Tesla GPUs, cost ~ $200 million, LINPACK benchmark ~143.5 petaflops. China: Sunway TaihuLight (created by China’s own NRCPC) uses SW26010 manycore 64-bit RISC processors, cost ~$273 million, LINPACK benchmark ~93 petaflops. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne.

OS and Windows are on the USB sticks, Peppermint Linux 9 (32 bit edition) and Lubuntu 18.04 too. Please copy them to your desktop, then return the USB sticks and install where necessary.

Term Support Ubuntu type releases come out every six months, but LTS versions are supported for 5 years, thus preferable, 16.04, 18.04, etc Why 32 bit? In this instance and for our teaching purposes, 32 bit Linux works better with 64-bit host operating systems, most of the time. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne.

machine entry under VirtualBox 6. 2. Fix the settings for the virtual machine in VirtualBox 6. 3. Boot Linux (Peppermint 9, it’s a similar procedure for other distros). 4. Run the installer. 5. Install Linux (from within a “live” copy of Linux). 6. Shutdown Linux down. 7. Post installation VirtualBox tasks: VirtualBox Extension Pack, Guest Additions and fix the settings to boot straight from virtual hard drive. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne.

popular and widely supported version of Linux. It was developed by Canonical and based on Debian. If any Windows or similar apps are ever released for Linux they will probably appear first under Ubuntu. Q2: Why then use Peppermint and not straight Ubuntu? A: Peppermint is slightly better for older machine and fully compatible with standard Ubuntu. Q3: Can I do this installation with other versions of Linux? A: Yes, they are very similar. The overall procedure is comparable. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne. Twitter: @BrianLinuxing Email: [email protected]
bit better? A: 32 bit is more likely to work under your existing 64 bit architecture. 64 bit is often better but in this instance the difference is negligible. Q5: Does the Linux touch my partition or existing hard drive? Where are its disks and my files? A: No, it runs under VirtualBox which in turn runs under either Windows 7/8/8.1/10 or MacOS. Your VirtualBox files are there. They are the big file that you created at the start, everything is in there. See the instructions 1a. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne. Twitter: @BrianLinuxing Email: [email protected]
the installer directly? A: Temporarily running the installer under its own version of Linux verifies the setup and shows if the operating system will run in this instance of VirtualBox. Just being extra careful. Q7: Is that it? Have we finished? A: Yes, compared to many other operating systems Linux is comparatively trouble free during installation, but if they do occur most errors are minor and can be fixed with time. You will need to do the post-installation tasks and install any additional apps. Q8: What is the Linux kernel? It is the essence of the operating system, it interacts with the hardware, allowing apps to run and managing memory, among many other things. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne.

context, Petaflop is an overall measurement of speed. A single Petaflop is said to be a thousand million million (10^15) floating-point operations per second. A Gigaflop is one billion floating-point operations per second. A Teraflop is 1,000 Gigaflops and a Petaflop is a 1,000 Teraflops! According to Hexus, the Core i7 8700K was measured at (Single precision) 61.41 GFLOPS. Linux 102 by Brian Byrne. Twitter: @BrianLinuxing Email: [email protected]
these: 1. Install the Extension Pack and try again 2. If that fails try Lubuntu 3. If that fails use Lubuntu with the F6 option and toggle nomodeset 4.

Oracle documentation page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Documentation Q12: Why not use just Hyper-V, instead of VirtualBox?
