4-way Opterons should beat 2x2-way Woodcrest in performance and even more so in performance/$. In addition, AMD has the commodity-accelerator ace up its sleeve. SGI's product will be competing with this: biz.yahoo.com Preliminary testing performed at Tokyo Tech clearly demonstrated Sun's ability to deliver the fastest supercomputer outside the United States as measured by sustained performance using the industry standard Linpack Benchmark. "This is truly an unprecedented achievement, given that TSUBAME was installed in just three weeks, and it has only been a month since the it went into production," said Satoshi Matsuoka, Professor in charge of Research Infrastructure at Global Scientific Information and Computing Center, Tokyo Institute of Technology. "And we have only begun to understand the true capability of TSUBAME. We expect further advances in performance with utilization of acceleration, as well as to exploit the other superior aspects of the system, such as very large memory, fat node shared memory architecture with fast interconnect, ultra fast & reliable storage, and most importantly, x86 compatibility with desktop environments." Expected to be in the top 10 supercomputers in the world, and it hasn't even started flexing its Clearspeed accelerator muscles yet. fpg
