It was 800, just like last time, but the networking had been upgraded

good improvement because he felt that communication overhead was
significant.
Really previous Huygens used Ethernet? It's hard to believe...

I thought so as well, but Olivier wrote to me:

Hi David,
...
We will have at least the same number of cores, probably more, and
we will very likely have a better hardware -
the infiniband network should be available, and this makes a big
difference.

Best regards,

So, perhaps Huygens has both and they were not using it last time,
or maybe they brought Huygens up with E-net and then upgraded.
But Mogo did not use it for the Portland exhibition, but did use
infiniband for the rematch.
Cheers,
David
