Foil 69 Sun E10000 in a Nutshell

From Master Foilset for HPC Achitecture Overview CPS615 Introduction to Computational Science -- Fall Semester 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Descriptions of Sun HPC Systems for Foil 69
1 It is perhaps most successful SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessor) with applicability to commercial and scientific market
2 Its SMP characteristics are seen in its low uniform latency
3 One cannot build huge E10000 systems (only up to 64 nodes and each node is slower than Origin)
4 One should cluster multiple E10000's to build a supercomputer
