Foil 120 Sun E10000 in a Nutshell

From Master Foilset for HPC Achitecture Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Descriptions of Sun HPC Systems for Foil 69
It is perhaps most successful SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessor) with applicability to commercial and scientific market
Its SMP characteristics are seen in its low uniform latency
One cannot build huge E10000 systems (only up to 64 nodes and each node is slower than Origin)
One should cluster multiple E10000's to build a supercomputer
