Quote from article: "It's also attempting to lure scientists and researchers with discretionary IT budgets to forget using shared, giant clusters and get their own box and tuck it in behind their desk where no one can see it to run their workloads locally. The personal supercomputer is not a new idea, but this is the first time that Cray is trying it out in the market." That will work great until the newbie scientists find that airflow into a computer tucked in "behind their desk where no one can see it" is piss poor, and that fans powerful enough to provide adequate airflow "behind the desk where no one can see it" are going to be LOUD. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
