Rob, re supercomputers, are they really that important to the business of a company like Compaq or IBM? I mean, we see those deep blue, or whatever pieces on IBM's RS6000 top machine beating some world chess champion. Big deal. For a while, I believe Sandia Labs had the most powerful supercomputer, built out of 9000+ Pentium Pros.
>Power4? 21364 in the Wildfire follow-on aka Marvel.
No Problemo!
This has me, a computer type, a bit confused. Would you care to set aside the tongue in cheek for a sec. and rank, IYHO, Itanium, Alpha, Power4, USIII, just for kicks? Pick some benchmark metric that you think is fair (if possible). We won't hold you to any of it, just for grins, you know?
