In the past five years, we have been involved in the design and development of Cplant™. An important goal was to take advantages of commodity approaches wherever possible. In particular, we selected Linux, a commonly available operating system, for the compute nodes. While the use of commodity solutions, including Linux, was critical to the success of Cplant™, we believe that such an approach will not be viable in the development of the next generation of very large-scale systems. We present our definition of a balanced system and discuss several limitations of commodity operating systems in the context of balanced systems.
