Application-wise 512 cpus/node isn't really needed (but SGI is already building one of 1024 CPUs according to some sources: http://www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/hardware/story/0,10801,94564,00.html but... "Initially, Pennington said, the system will use two images of Linux -- one per 512 processors -- while it's being tested and configured. Later, all 1,024 processors will address one image of the SGI Advanced Linux operating system being used." Also here -> http://www.sgi.com/company_info/newsroom/press_releases/2004/november/jaeri.html it talks about another supercomputer of 2048 CPUs, but I don't find clear if it's a cluster, or several images. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
