Neil or Douglas or anybody, <<The 32-processor Origin2000 server delivered a sustained raw I/O bandwidth performance of 7.32 gigabytes per second across 88 fibre channel loops with a total of 897 fibre channel disks.>> <<The IRIX 6.4 operating system with the 64-bit XFS file system is the only file system available that provides a Guaranteed Rate I/O (GRIO) feature, allowing applications to reserve specific bandwidth to or from the filesystem. This functionality is critical for media delivery systems such as video-on-demand or data acquisition.>> Any idea what they are hooking 88 Fibre Channel loops to? A bunch of cascaded Fibre Channel switches, perhaps? The GRIO feature sounds like Class 1. Maybe SGI has found a way to do this in software, or maybe they are actually using Class 1 the way Sequent should have. Craig
