	News Release - Sandia creates cluster computer
		It is used to demonstrate parallel processing of large, numerically intense problems, such as the simulation of molecular interactions or dynamics of complex events, such as chemical reactions and climate change prediction.
		A cluster computer normally combines multiple commodity desktop-sized personal computers to work in parallel on problems too large for a single computer.
		This “breadbox” computer is also made of commodity computer parts, but the parts are small, embedded systems normally intended for use in cars, cell phones and watches (where they are intended to run on batteries), rather than desktop computer components.

	Commodity computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commodity computers are computer systems manufactured by many vendors, based on industry standard architecture (not to be confused with the ISA bus).
		Unlike boutique computers (such as the Apple Macintosh), software compatibility is taken for granted and commodity computers are chosen based on price and features from among those offered by many different manufacturers.
		Commodity computers are used for many things, from the most common desktop systems running word processors and spreadsheets, to large, complex cluster systems.

		A computer receiving the formatted transaction generates or is provided with a set of assignments of unique persistent tags to all possible data element contexts that are of interest.
		The computer readable program code sourcing module sources a supplier entity of the commodity via the network by the trading entity from a plurality of supplier entities dependent upon information made available on the network to the trading entity using the data interchange medium.
		A computer program product having a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code means embodied therein for virtual trading of a commodity between business entities using one or more networks, said computer program product including: computer readable program code means performing the steps of the method of any claim 1 to 18.

	Defendants' Memorandum Of Points And Authorities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The commodity jurisdiction procedure is not used for determining whether a particular article may or may not be exported.
		A licensing decision for a commodity controlled pursuant to the AECA and the ITAR may take into account a combination of factors, including the sensitivity of the technology, the identity of the end-user, the declared end-use of the commodity, and foreign policy and national security interests.
		In Spawr Optical, the court held the basis for designating a commodity as subject to export controls was "beyond dispute" and not a triable issue of fact, since "the export of certain commodities may have a significant impact on United States' foreign policy and national security." Spawr Optical, 864 F.2d at 1473.

	Epinions.com - Computing shouldn't be a commodity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The great difference in Apple’s computing philosophy and those of other PC makers like Dell, Gateway, and Compaq is that Apple’s competitors have succeeded in recent years of turning the computer into a commodity, but Apple has refused to do so.
		Though there is an elite group of well-educated, highly skilled computer users out there, the average computer user has limited knowledge about computing, and the new or prospective new user probably has no knowledge to begin with.
		Like I said before, it is more cost effective for these computer companies to treat their computers as a commodity and just sell them on the merit of the numbers.

		Then we justify the choice made for the Swiss-T1 parallel commodity computer that may be installed at EPFL by the end of 1999 in the framework of the Swiss-Tx project.
		Such parallel computers are often called message passing machines for which a user has to care about optimising the MPI implementation to become efficient on all those computer architectures.
		In contrary to vector machines, the use of commodity computers as computational units guarantees that local optimisation has not to be touched when porting a PC or workstation program to a commodity supercomputer.

		Computer software designers are going to have to automate and elevate the programming process by presenting visual (object-oriented) metaphors for task parameters and sequencing.
		Such computers are called 4B machines (Billion instructions per second, Billion bytes of DRAM storage, and a Billion bytes per second of IO bandwidth, and a Billion bits per second of communications bandwidth).
		These clusters are built from commodity processors (Intel x86, MIPS 4000, Alpha), commodity disks and memories, and are among the most economic servers available today as measured by the TPC A, and C benchmarks.

	Klosowski: Scalable Visualization using Commodity Clusters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Due to the increase in the price/performance ratio of computers utilizing such components, clusters of commodity machines have become commonplace in today's computing world and are steadily displacing specialized, high-end, shared-memory machines for many graphics and visualization workloads.
		Utilization and acceptance of commodity clusters has been a slow process at times due to the significant challenges introduced when switching from a share-memory architecture to a distributed memory one.
		As the nature of commodity hardware components suggests, the solutions are largely software-based, and include middleware layers for distributing the graphics workload across the cluster as well as for aggregating the final results to display for the user.

		Mid-February 93, I had to return computer to store to troubleshoot Modem not operating (note @9., I purchased a tape backup system, to backup all files, programs, data, etc., in case I again lost hard disk.
		The hard disk failure is extremely unfortunate, but the other problems are human interface with components in the computer and lack of attention to details I'm sure, from people at the Computer Store.

	Concept Release on the Placement of a Foreign Board of Trade's Computer Terminals in the US
		Computer terminals must be located only in the offices of members of the foreign board of trade and their affiliates or in a member's or affiliate's firm booth on the floor of a U.S. board of trade;
		The Commission believes that the term "computer terminal," or some similar term, should be defined broadly under any rule adopted regarding foreign board of trade terminal placement in the U.S. to anticipate, to the extent practicable, the evolution of electronic trading systems.
		The Division does not currently contemplate that proposed rules would permit the installation of a foreign computer terminal that provides a customer a direct link to a foreign board of trade's floor or computer system without first flowing through a registered FCM that is a member or affiliate thereof of the foreign board of trade.

	Parallel Supercomputing with Commodity Components
		Current efforts in high-performance computing have been forced to rely on microprocessors and commodity DRAM to remain competitive, while adding value in areas such as network interconnects and proprietary operating system software and development tools.
		Not only that, we have found the commodity system to be as user-friendly and reliable as the current generation of parallel supercomputers.
		Commodity switches are now available which allow up to 16 machines to communicate with each other at the full 100 Mbit bandwidth, at a cost of a few hundred dollars per port.

	Commodity trading official expects computer revolution in farming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A revolution is coming in the farming community during the next century that will make computers more important than tractors.
		That's per Joseph Dial, Commodity Futures Trading Commission commissioner, who told Texas Cotton Association members here recently that the farm bill enacted last year is pushing growers toward dependence on the marketplace and not the government for their price.
		While there is a trend toward more computer ownership - surveys have shown that four out of 10 farmers have access to one - not all are being used for business purposes, he said.
