The CRAY - Jaguar is now online and they have started the first testing phase.

I heard about the specs for this a while ago, so it caught my attention when it
came up in the Yahoo! News RSS feed.

That's the equivalent of just over 416 high end PCs per box !

Droool.

I'll have 1 to go, please :!:

What ? Insufficient credit ?

...like touring the Boat Show...
If you have to ask then you probably can't afford it.

Here's the data sheet for the X1E cabinets:

Yeah you're right. I wonder what the power bill is like for the LC model? 65KW/hr

Would you rather have that machine or 50,000 high end personal computers... There's a this or that question....

I suppose there's an Network Management aspect.
For your job I expect the 50,000 PCs would mean a long term future.
Although I'd like to hear from DMMc about his point of view...I tip him as probably going the 120 identical cabinets. ;)

From my point of view:
I'd go the 416 in a cabinet
I recon I could fit 1 cabinet in my house (allowing for the air-con - don't even want to calculate the power bill).
There's no way I could fit 416 PCs in my house and still be able to open the beer-fridge.

nice find dave,
that would rival ironbits quad processor in SOB, would be sweet revenge especially just to post "my jaguar - CRAY machine arrived today and i am just testing it with SOB"

It would be better if you said "both of my jaguar cray machines showed up today...."

We are never gonna have 1 let alone 2 so since we're dreaming we might as well have 2. Or 3, maybe even 4. Hell why not, 5.
