So that's who's keeping SGI alive
Granted, I know that the Itanium 2 scales well, but so does the POWER6. In fact, if the POWER6 scales as well as it should, they would require half of the cores that the Itanium 2 would need. I am also sure that if they wanted to build a 1024 Core system, IBM would gladly oblidge them and create a custom rig. They do it for the government all the time. "Blue Gene/L" anyone?

Still, I would love to be there in the middle of all that supercomputing power. Much like a teenager cut loose in a garage full of muscle cars. I would probably be drooling.

NASA runs Linux, but Windows Server 2000 or 2003 does run Itanium  georgeou | 11/15/07
True - but will it cluster to the same degree?  BanjoPaterson | 11/15/07
Windows is a minority in the HPC space, but they're growing very fast  georgeou | 11/15/07

It's a different purpose when you need to scale up, not out.  georgeou | 11/16/07
