Wanted: Turn-Key 10-Node Beowulf Cluster

Posted by timothy on from the only-alive-not-dead dept.

I suspect the time frame is longer than that, although the window-of-opportunity for the money is apparently on the order of days, and a quote before the procurement meeting would help. Any ideas? Who's good? What it should cost? Thanks!" If you're quick, maybe you can become the world's newest manufacturer of custom beowulf clusters.

    It should cost an arm, but not necessarily a leg.

    remove your left eye to email me.

    Gee, I know he was asking for a quote, but if the price is that steep just for the RFP I'm afraid we'll have to pass on the consulting fees....

    (I normally don't respond to .sigs, but given the topic....)

    As a matter of fact, I am a lawyer. But I play an actor on TV.

    But am I the only person here to think "working on my morning M&Ms?"
