<< Intel has already demonstrated that 4-way SMP hardware support on the Pentium Pro and Deschutes was a slam dunk. However, 8-way fail over clusters seem to be "popular" which essentially has two identical 4-way SMP machines working as if they were one, and either group will take over full operation if the other group goes down (fail-over). >> Paul, Was wondering your thoughts on NUMA, the succusser to SMP? I follow SQNT a little and they seem like they have at least a 6 month lead on a thier NUMA-Q, but as you know it is proprietary. The guys at SQNT are former INTC fellows so I assume they know what they are doing... ALL IMHO pigboy
