Cray's CX1 Desktop Supercomputer, Now For Sale

Posted by timothy on from the was-promised-is-here dept.

ocularb0b writes "Cray has announced the CX1 desktop supercomputer. Cray teamed with Microsoft and Intel to build the new machine that supports up to 8 nodes, a total of 64 cores and 64Gb of memory per node. CX1 can be ordered online with starting prices of $25K, and a choice of Linux or Windows HPC. This should be a pretty big deal for smaller schools and scientists waiting in line for time on the world's big computing centers, as well as 3D and VFX shops."

    It's not a question of whether it's a static load. It's a simple question of weight distribution. Your fat* girlfriend is not exerting all her weight on four or five rubber feet.

    WTF is a netbook? Is that kind of like "Blogosphere" and "Web 2.0"? Words people made up to look important and hip?
