Assuming the license agreement allows you to publish them..

Google for what linus posted there and what i posted there in code
around 2007 already.
Where i showed how f'ed up GCC was, where it basically modified some
simple code sample
to something ugly slow, instead of creating a CMOV

All of the SRPMS for SL are there.

let's slide 1U nodes into a rack on their sides, and forget the

how often do you actually pull out nodes, and of those few times,
how often do you really need

That sounds almost as good as submerging your servers

Years ago I had some L shaped pieces of steel made that allowed
nodes to slide in horizontally as you describe (and for the same
reasons). It provided enough of a lip to support the node
that was attached

Sounds expensive, complicated, and challenging.
How about a MUCH simpler proposal: eliminate fans from compute nodes.
Nodes should:
* assume good front to back airflow
Racks would:
* have large fans front AND back that run at relatively low
rpm, and relatively quiet.
* If front or rear door

Whatever happened to a Beowulf made of tower cases piled on brick

Many years ago at a European Supercomputer Conference I saw a vendor

I donno - it seems elegantly modular to me. vendors are responsible
for getting the heat to the cold plate (via heatpipes, probably. these
days, heatpipes are extremely widespread and well-controlled. every
