Those of you who watch the stats might have notice one user is suddenly doing HUGE amounts of processing. Mark is testing a SGI UV2000 (http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/uv/) here at ICRAR. It is a single machine which gives use genuinely 256 cores and 2TB (yes that isn't a typo I do mean TerraBytes) of RAM. It also has a storage array with 50 x 300GB 10K drives plus 10 x 256GB SSDs - that is giving us about 1GB/sec write speed. When it isn't doing our Radio Astronomy number crunching tests we have it using its spare cycles on POGS.They are cool machines - scalable to 2,048 cores and a whooping 64TB of RAM. You can add water cooling as an optional extra.I love being a big kid with BIG TOYS.
