Here is the _practical_ answer: YES. And here is why: http://wiki.neuralbs.com/~kyron/WrongSpecs/dsc00884.jpg > I guess what really surprises me is that Cray doesn't mention ScaleMP, > which would seem to suit this box ideally. if someone wants Windows, > I'd very much expect them to want the convenience of ignoring the fact > that memory is distributed... Yes, that is what I was also asking in a spinoff thread and doubted that it would have been the case. IMHO, anyone is better off buying a Tyan-type SMP such as the VX50 we have here. For about 25k$ CAD, we got 8x2core Opteron with 32Gigs of ram...that's over a year ago and it's been running flawlessly since I built it (except for dead ram due to power fluctuation/outage) Eric _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
