A couple of them would include requirements of open architecture, ability to scale the hardware up and the OS functionality down, ease of scripting and job scheduling, etc, etc.

Anyone happen to have a picture of the farm? Pictures of large computing farms give me the warm fuzzies. Heck, even personal farms do.

Gee, when will people who know what they’re doing believe that Linux is no good and that MS has the One True operating system?

Speaking of HPC, does anyone have the dirt on any of those poor groups who did fall for the MS sales pitch? I can’t recall anyone saying what a wonderful system it is after the original announcement of the purchase order…
