So, you think we should have hardware platforms (multi socket, NUMA systems) and keep the drivers and OS implementations secret? How is this tenable as a business plan for any hardware vendor? NUMA is far from supercomputer specific (many cloud and enterprise systems in use). Are you proposing to export control the OS? Once the hardware is there, a team of trained OS engineers could bring up new kernel components, regardless.
You don’t know that. Do you even know what the protocol is for classifying information or technology? How do you know it’s being properly implemented, and audited, at every location? Bottom line, you can’t know. Ever even had basic access to classified information? Or just making things up as you go?
yes
Huh? Who cares what the hardware vendors want in this situation. The goal of our government should have been to provide us the best supercomputers possible, while limiting the ability of potential adversaries for obtaining them. And yes, bills were proposed to block this type of technology, but were not approved into law. Same time as all our factories left for overseas. What did we get in return? A promise of 49% max ownership in some new partnership with the Chinese government, so long as we gave all the technology away.
Yeah, even John McAfee is saying that during his more lucid moments.
Drive encryption ala McAfee is crap.
I’ve been stuck with deploying it and the agents half work and encrypt or they go up to two weeks and then finally run.
McAfee defies any attempt I can come up with to force it to run that I can find.
It also freezes external USB on many of my windows 10 boxes until I go into the BIOS.
Windows 7 seems a lot more tolerant.
