Eight, actually. My employer is about to be, and
there are quite a few
others.
Still, getting long in the tooth.
Wiki says ten years.
With design cycles measured in years rather than
weeks, the
supercomputer world doesn't consider things "obsolete" as quickly as the
PC
world.
OK, but you have to admit that the SV1 line is at the end of the line.
Indeed, the code is being developed on a 25-year-old
super, but
admittedly only because it's available and compatible.
Well, that was one of the major selling points of the EL line.
Besides, SV1ex machines are still pretty pricey, and
T90s are pretty
difficult to find, and WAY out of any reasonable price range.
Is anyone even using a T90, for that matter? They are older than SV1s.
