I thought his Markov chain needed oiling.
But seriously, I didn't know that any pieces of SGI were still around
to acquire.
That I did know. I rode that horse down the mountain during the Rackable take over and I
left in 2010. Most everything relating to OS, BIOS, networking and system management
software is done here in Eagan, MN and manufacturing is done in Chippewa Falls WI in two
former Cray facilities. They still build two primary architecture types, a scale out
cluster called Altix ICE (which I worked on) and a scale up shared memory design called
UV. HP have been partnering with them on deals with this later product for some time, so
there is strong belief that that is one piece that will be preserved.
