IBM AND INTEL will install IBM Xeon servers using 2,500 Xeon chips in Westerngeco's London Data Centre, the chip firm said today.
Westerngeco uses the servers to make layered 3D images from seismic data to find new pools of oil and will be connected together in a mega series of clusters, apparently.

This is precisely the kind of application that would do a lot better on systems that had more registers and a flat, 64-bit address space.

The days of the very limited production, high unit cost, servers are clearly numbered. Chips like Alpha, Power4, Itanium, and PA-Risc are dropping one by one.

The one missing piece is the lack of a compatible (X86) 64-bit chip.
