  • Fixstars Solutions, Inc is a software and services company specializing in Power Architecture solutions, particularly in the Cell. It was formerly known as Terra Soft Solutions. On November 11, 2008, Japanese company Fixstars announced that it had acquired all of Terra Soft's assets. Terra Soft's former CEO Kai Staats was appointed as COO of Fixstars's new American subsidiary, Fixstars Solutions, which is based in San Jose, California, while Terra Soft retaining its product line, staff and regional offices in Loveland, Colorado. Fixstars Solutions produces Yellow Dog Linux, cluster construction tools, and bioinformatics software. The company’s clients include NASA, Boeing, California Institute of Technology, and Stanford University. Terra Soft provides software and services for the Power Architecture and Linux OS platform. As a Mercury, Apple, and Genesi value-added reseller, and IBM Business Partner, Fixstars Solutions provides turnkey and build-to-order desktop workstations, servers, and High Performance Computing clusters. Terra Soft has made their Yellow Dog Linux distribution solely for Power Architecture, optimizing the distributions for technologies like AltiVec, Cell and Hypervisor. Although its Linux distributions are for the Power Architecture, their Y-HPC software and open source Y-Bio life science package are cross-architecture. They were the first to support a variety of Apple computers in Linux and to offer PowerPC Linux suite for parallel computing "Black Lab". They are also the only company licensed to sell Apple computers bundled with an operating system other than Apple's Mac OS. When Apple abandoned PowerPC CPUs in favor of Intel Core chips, Terra Soft was able to concentrate on high-performance computing, while maintaining "hacker" credibility with Playstation 3 products. Terra Soft's efforts included the Y-Bio, a cross-architecture life sciences package; and movement on the world's first commercial, Linux Board Support Package for the Cell processor, in collaboration with Mercury Computer.
  • Terra Soft è il produttore di Yellow Dog Linux (unica distribuzione pensata solo per architettura PowerPC)con sede a Loveland, Colorado in Colorado e di software di bioinformatica. I clienti includono NASA, Boeing, CIT e Stanford University. Nel 2006 lavora al primo supercomputer basato sul microchip Cell, in collaborazione con Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos e Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Il sistema si baserà in parte sulla Playstation 3. Yellow Dog Linux è la prima distribuzione Linux certificata per Celle e la Playstation 3. Dal 2007 Terra Soft vende in USA Playstation 3 con Yellow Dog Linux preinstallato al prezzo di 50 dollari in più della Playstation 3 senza Linux.
