Oh it is VERY important that you know that the IQ bus which connects the
quads scales right up to 16 quads (64 proc). This is MMP as opposed to
SMP, and in a whole different ballpark than Beowulfs... they said that
no one else runs linux on systems this large. There were some optically-
connected devices on top of the "washing-machine-sized" box... glory be.
<Haha>I asked if we could connect to ASCI White and the genteleman said
"yes, but that is an RS system."</Haha> Okay I will try to compose my
stories better! Maybe Open@cs or EugLUG could get a grant for one of
these puppies, to foster virtual community growth and wealth, sitting
on EWEB's fiber or even bridging that and UO. I'm dreamin.
