]]> Comment on FogBugz: One Hot Ride by Corey Trager http://kurtgrandis.com/blog/2008/03/19/fogbugz-one-hot-ride/#comment-4 Corey Trager Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:11:19 +0000 http://kurtgrandis.com/blog/2008/03/19/fogbugz-one-hot-ride/#comment-4 If you like the approach of FogBugz, here comes a shameless plug the free and open source variant, BugTracker.NET, which was heavily inspired by FogBugz. More info at http://ifdefined.com/bugtrackernet.html. It's style of presenting all the posts to a bug as a chronological narrative is similar, was well as the email integration, Subversion integration, and the utility for posting screenshots easily. Main differences would be that it is less polished but more configurable than FogBugz, doesn't have a Wiki, and no time tracking (yet, but probably later this year) and no scheduling tools.

The new 64 bit images have code for few performance benchmarks built in, including HPL. I ran a few latency tests along with the NAS suite, but haven't run HPL on EC2 yet. The source should be in /home/beowulf/hpl if you want to try it out... Here are some sample NAS and latency numbers for a two node (16 core) cluster: http://www.datawrangling.com/media/BPS-AmazonEC2-xlarge-run-1/index.html -Pete Kurt,
