Sun has been talking about this for quite a while. Called the Full-moon clustering. It is NOT going to be a machine like an E10000
where a single instance of the OS will manage all 64 CPUs.
1000 CPUs is 16 E10000s clustered together all running 16 different
OS instances. Right now Sun supports 4 machines in a cluster.
