Cray CTO Says Cray Computers Are Great

Posted by michael on Friday August 20, 2004 @03:06AM from the couldn't-be-any-other-way dept.

Jan Stafford writes "Linux clusters can not offer the same price-performance as supercomputers, according to Paul Terry, chief technology officer of Burnaby, British Columbia-based Cray Canada. In this interview, Terry explains that assertion and describes Cray's new Linux-based XD1 system, which will be priced competitively with other types of high-end Linux clusters."

The CTO from Cray said Crays are great machines and are priced competitively!

Next you'll tell me the CEO of SCO thinks the lawsuit is completely valid and fair!

  Apparently, since Cray uses Linux in clusters now, I'm sure SCO thinks Cray machines would be even greater if they costed $699 more per node...

Cray CTO Says Cray Computers Are Great

Actually, I think he said that "Cray computers rock, eh?" or perhaps it was "Cray computers kick ass, eh?" or something like that.
