Yellow Dog Linux (YDL) is a discontinued free and open-source operating system for high-performance computing on multi-core processor computer architectures, focusing on GPU systems and computers using the POWER7 processor. The original developer was Terra Soft Solutions, which was acquired by Fixstars in October 2008.[2] Yellow Dog Linux was first released in the spring of 1999 for Apple Macintosh PowerPC-based computers.[3] The last version, Yellow Dog Linux 7,[4] was released on August 6, 2012.[1] Yellow Dog Linux lent its name to the popular YUM Linux software updater, derived from YDL's YUP (Yellowdog UPdater) and thus called Yellowdog Updater, Modified.
