  1. Re:$15M price tags. by HappyPete · · Score: 1 · on New Linux Supercomputer Forecasts Rain
    Actually, that total cost is for the entire multi-year contract, with expansion up to ~ 1024 nodes. . .the first-year rollout cost only a small fraction of the total tab.

    You can go to HPTi's web site and check out the cluster section for more information on the complete cluster project.

  2. Re:Cray... Who cares. by Greg+Lindahl · · Score: 1 · on Tera Completes Acquistion of Cray

    The only thing that really competes with cray on the highend is the SGIO2k...hmmm, wonder where they got that technology?


    Uh, SGI developed the O2k before they bought Cray, and there is lots of competition on the high end. For example, for the FSL weather forecasting bid, SGI bid an O2k, but the winner was a cluster running AlphaLinux.

    Linux does have to compete with other Unixes, but people often decide in Linux's favor. For example, this cluster is 277 nodes with better networking, and we chose Linux over Tru64, due to Linux's super system administration capabilities.

    BTW, you can get Compaq's great Alpha compilers for Linux.
