it looks like sgi is on the ball in the high end server market. Silicon Graphics/Cray Research Announce Several Breakthroughs for 64-Processor Systems In separate announcements today Silicon Graphics and supercomputing subsidiary Cray Research have marked several new industry measurements for delivery and performance of 64-processor server systems. Volume Availability of 64-Processor Origin2000 Systems Rapid adoption of high-end systems at aerospace, financial, government and university customers points to growing trend in cc-NUMA architecture use. Over 60 64-processor systems installed and reporting results. Worldwide customers including NASA Ames Research Center comment on scalable Origin cc-NUMA architecture as ''absolutely working. The engineers did it right.'' World Record SPECrate Benchmark Performance Set on 64-Processor Origin2000 Systems Origin2000 enables true high-bandwidth computing. Two new world records for SPECrate performance submitted for the 64-processor Origin2000 and CRAY Origin systems. SPECrate_fp95 peak result of 9478 -- a 54 percent higher result compared to all other shared memory architecture systems. SPECrate_int95 peak result of 5992 -- more than doubling the previous world record also held by the Origin2000. New performance milestones indicate the scalability of the Origin cc-NUMA architecture and leadership of the Origin2000 line for high-performance, computationally intensive and strategic business applications. Pricing for 64-Processor Systems Driven to Under $1M U.S. List Breakthrough price/performance of the Origin2000 Varsity configurations bring cc-NUMA architecture to a broader segment of the education market. Program designed for educational community defines new price point for greater access to high-performance, scalable servers. Pay-as-you-grow architecture ensures optimal performance and investment protection for educational organizations.
