Ten: RE: AC3 Velocity, Cornell and CTC

The Cornell Theory Center was left out in the reorganization of national supercomputing centers. Without that affiliation, I wonder how decisions are made.

Do we know the actual cost of the installation of the 256-processor cluster? I always wonder about sponsored research. Just a skeptic at heart <g>. Was the decision to choose the AC3 velocity made after a competitive process, with IBM, SUN and others in the running or are the good folks at Cornell applauding (and accepting) a gift from Dell, Intel, Microsoft and Giganet.

It's OK with me. Heck, I'll let them install a cluster for me. Just think it would be nice to know a little more.

Thanks for the post. dmf
