Max configuration of SGI Origin 2000/Onyx2 architecture

OK, we talked earlier about how high this architecture could go and there was some mention of 256 and 512 processor systems. However, I just stumbled across a press release at LANL describing their installation of a massive 6144 processor system consisting of 48 sets of 128 nodes all arranged as a giant supercomputer: <http://www.lanl.gov/news/index.php/fuseaction/home.story/story_id/1846> This machine was decomissioned in 2004: <http://www.lanl.gov/news/index.php/fuseaction/home.story/story_id/5836> Something tells me that I won't be able to afford 6144 processors without a grant and a lot of scrounging :-) -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
