This is why it will never be anything but Secaucus and Carteret no matter what the cost for power and cooling. The HFT guys make 10X+, in seconds, the cost of a high PUE by having the lowest latency to the exchanges. When they are paying NRE to have FPGAs with trading rules built into 10GbE switches sitting at the network demarcation boundary things like cheap power and cooling mean little. -- ------------------------------ Jeff Johnson Co-Founder Aeon Computing jeff.john...@aeoncomputing.com www.aeoncomputing.com t: 858-412-3810 x101 f: 858-412-3845 m: 619-204-9061 /* New Address */ 4170 Morena Boulevard, Suite D - San Diego, CA 92117 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
