Pete, <Have you ever seen the HyperCube design?> No. <Cache Coherency can be achieved if every read transaction to remote memory is controlled by the remote NB. A write is the only thing that causes the caches to become incoherent.> Well duh, if all you do is read and not write, coherency is a non-issue. <NUMA architectures are the wave of the future as local memory becomes far less latent than remote memory.> NUMA has never been more than a very low-volume proprietary solution for specific tasks. Besides, the real wave of the future is clustering many UMA servers together. Except for very specific tasks, one large NUMA system is way too expensive and unscalable compared to several clustered UMA systems. Tenchusatsu
