SGI Introduces World's Densest Server
Twirlip of the Mists writes "Today SGI announced the Origin 3900 server, the world's densest computer. How dense? How about 16 MIPS R14000A processors and 32 GB of RAM in a 4-rack-unit 'superbrick,' for a grand total of 128 processors and 256 GB of RAM in a single rack. That makes the new machine the densest single-system-image computer in the world; it's even denser than most blade systems. Just for fun, the server also includes a whole bunch of 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X slots (from 11 up to hundreds and hundreds, depending on configuration). There's coverage of the announcement on ZDNet, CNET, and InfoWorld, as well as on SGI's own site."
A beefed-up system with 128 processors and 64MB of memory sells for $2.9 million.
64MB eh? Pretty darn impressive! I have 192MB in this here laptop! I will sell it at a "discount" price of only $2000.00

SGI has never been cheap, and they have never
been first.
There are 128 cpu intel/amd solutions that fit in a single rack. I know of at least 3 companies that produce them and they are cheap.
SGI tends to produce what the customer wants a year late, and 3-10x what the customer can pay for the same things elsewhere.
I am amazed that SGI is still in business, they have been dieing for several years.
A user so dense that it causes a 'singularity of stupidity'; a black-hole of cluelessness that destroys any clue that may pass by it.
