I would love to thank those people who has done this good job. From my point of view Super Computer is the world most man made beautiful thing. And those who had given this idea to put the most beautiful thing in one of the most beautiful invironment is good. Thanks for the good brains. God bless you all. Hello !

It harks back to the days when no tour of the company was complete without a stroll by the glass house. Only the BSC really has a glass house inside a chapel. Steven, I haven't looked at the BlueGene configuration. I recently did a post on <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Storage Bits</a> about a $2500 supercomputer - less than $100/Gflop - but pretty didn't make the cut for that price. I should look at BlueGene. The SAN technologist is formerly of Crosswalk and he has some good commentary on his blog. Worth checking out. Robin Joerg,

It is however nice to see some HPC setups that aren't just the BlueGene configuration. I am however very surprised by the use of SUSE and GPFS. I'm very disappointed that more folks haven't been looking into Lustre, which claims the highest level of scalability. It is pretty common though for IBM HPC environment to stick with IBM solutions, such at GPFS. They of course are clearly not using iGRID, LOL. Robin, you of course know what I mean.
