Vincent, please go into the archive and find where *I* posted a private email. *I* did not. Nor do I retaliate against people who post such emails; I call them out in public, just like I'm calling you out. > You don't design that thing to let it look good on paper. No, the goal was to do great on real applications. And that performance does not depend on answering your theoretical objections. If you'd like to see how we perform on real apps up to 512 cores, please see our whitepapers. By SC, we'll have published results, real application results, for much larger systems. If you think about it, castigating the interconnect vendor which publishes the most performance data (microbenchmarks, HPCC, real apps) for not understanding real apps is, well, funny. -- greg (stuck in Phoenix on the way to vacation, at least there's free wireless) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
