dr_mat 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Nope, currently that's three racks.. :) But that's old tech. We'd get 128 CPUs in a single rack with the new kit. Yes, 64 CPU in a deskside.. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted December 22, 2004 http://www.sgi.com/company_info/newsroo ... r/lrz.html Our latest toy, Jim. I wonder how many departments in Coventry uni would kill for that kind of compute resource? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 22, 2004 Jeepers! Talk computing about horse power! I work for the University of Warwick by the way, not Cov Uni ;) I'm pretty sure a department in the university are aiming to purchase some kind of SGI vizualisation cluster in the not too distant future though...

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 22, 2004 48 cpus? We have a machine in the lab bigger than that... :roll: ;) 56 400 MHZ IP35 Processors Main memory size: 26624 Mbytes :) And *that's* just a baby cos they won't buy us machines that are representative of customer installs... :( :sleeping: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a bit overkill for just surfing this forum Mat! - My 'old' Pentium 4 seems to cope just fine, even with your posts.... :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Ah, you're at Warwick, but you live in Coventry. Wrong way round, man! ;) Hey, if there's anything I can sell them, let me know, I'll split the (miniscule) commission! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 22, 2004 Actually Warwick University is in Coventry.. go figure. So come on dr_mat - gimmie the output of 'hinv' off that machine.. I wanna marvel at the spec! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The big box is just for playing with. It runs a good game of Quake in the reality centre though.. :) Apparently Kev is bored.

I wanna marvel at the spec! :) The one in that press release doesn't get built till early '07, so can't do that I'm afraid. We do have other big machines tho. I can't login to Nasa, unfortunately, otherwise I could show you the hinv from a 1024-CPU node in a 10,240 CPU machine... :) I can get the following though: > hinv 512 400 MHZ IP35 Processors Main memory size: 524288 Mbytes Total storage is something over 7TB on here, too. (Geeky I know, but I can get root on here, too.. :) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye...100s of Citrix Terminal servers....oh the joys.... Still, I get to run 2000, XP and 2003 Server from the same box I suppose. 2003 Server Standard sucks....it's dog slow. I wonder if any of the other 6 flavours of 2003 are any better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 22, 2004 Ah Novel Novell. I miss it. Netware 6 was sublime and what Active Directory was based on.... It's all good until some berky administrator puts all the printers in multiple containers up and down the tree, slowing the network down :roll: Anyway, I've just remembered I said I hate computers, so had better shut up, LOL!
