still not good
Hi!No Matter what throughput a cluster uses, it is still not going to be enough.
Just wait until HT3 slots, and QuickPath slots appear on mobos.
They will be MUCH faster, and - there is no need to compare the latency when we are talking direct memory access....
So when these slots appear on mobos, THAT will be the time when clusters will see a performance jump.
The only thing i am still wondering about is when will the chip companies realize, that they will need to integrate lots of these on the chip itself........
Like about 9 for a 8xxx opteron or
5 for the upcoming 4S Nehalem chip....

HTX?
I thought that several server motherboard manufacturers already included HTX slots on the board and I know of at least one HTX to Infiniband producer as well.I would think that combo would far outstrip what 10GE is capable of in a clustered environment.
Very Cool
Combine this story with the release of Corning Optics bendable glass fiber cable and themicro-Beuwolf cluster idea.
The uWolf clusters yield a GigaFlop and cost around $2000 USD.
Household Supercomputing seems a reality.
CAD ,CAE and animation have just become
much more plausible for the average joe.
