[ale] RHEL-6.1 system with 4 CPU sockets and 1TB of memory

[Jim Kinney]

Sweet!!! That's a lot of RAM slots! I've been drooling over these:
http://www.supermicro.nl/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8DGG-QF.cfmI
want 12 of them packed vertically in a custom 4U case like a
mini-blade
box. At one point I saw similar ones with optional on-board QDR Infiniband.
Add one NVidia Tesla card and I'll have a baby super computer in a
luggable!

yeah. ok. cooling issues are external with a custom liquid cooling system
that's a plumbing nightmare....

I wonder how much dishwashing and laundry I have to do in order for the
SWMBO to relent on my getting one...

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
