>From what I read about the implementation, I estimate that it will scale well up to 16-32 processors and fail miserably for certain applications upwards. NB: This is just my theoretical insight, so it might be flawed :) Anyhow, for a set of applications, I do think that it might entertain good scalability. By that I mean those applications which would not hit great overheads. Anything that would introduce a big comms volume would slow the thing down to a crawl. Thanks, -- Eray (exa) Ozkural Comp. Sci.
