Is Canadien HPC a distinct entity from US HPC? For instance; although chock full of HPC and computational science Ireland does not have enough HPC to support its own industry. They seem to buy from the UK or from SGI/BULL. In fact, apart from the odd random funding splurge, neither does the UK. It seems to me there is not enough business or a large enough pool of emplyable people to support a healthy industry. Germany seems to do ok however, not sure about France. I wonder if there is a HPC 'critical mass'. _______________________________________________ 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
