    1 '''December 9, 2011:''' We broke '''200 GFLOPS''' running HPL on the a production ready Limulus! The latest version uses the Intel i5-2400S processor. Check out the [wiki:CommercialLimulus The Commercial Limulus Cluster] page for the details. (Note: the results are double precision CPU GFLOPS.)

    3 '''September 15, 2011:''' We are working with a vendor to manufacture Limulus!. If you are interested, join the [http://www.clustermonkey.net/mailman/listinfo/limulus_announce Limulus Announce List] or the Twitter feed. We are going to make a small pre-production run of ten (Sandy Bridge) systems in the October time frame. We will entertain questions on the announce list.

    1515'''August 5, 2010:''' The improved case is almost done. We have been moving on both hardware and software fronts and expect some announcements this fall. There are also a bunch of Xeon 3400 series Micro ATX motherboards now available that support dual Intel GigE and ECC memory. (Supermicro, Asus and Gigabyte).

    17 '''November 17, 2009:''' The Limulus case (with running hardware) is on display at SC09. Take a look at the [wiki:LimulusCase Limulus Case] section for some pictures.

    19 '''April 30, 2009:''' I have been busy with the hardware aspects of the project. The goal is to improve packaging. The result is that the entire [wiki:NorbertLimulus Norbert Limulus Cluster] now fits in a single case measuring 23x20x8.5 inches (58x51x21 cm). It uses a single power supply, is very power efficient, quiet, and looks rather cool. There will be more real soon. The first version will use quad-core CPUs for a total of 16 cores per system. Also, there has been some concern about using non-ECC memory. Based on current memory technology, actual tests, and some research papers I do not think this is going to be a concern for most users. More information when the tests are done.

    2120'''October 22, 2008: ''' I have posted the new [http://basement-supercomputing.com/download/benchmarks/Intel-PT-PCIe/#update-10-22 results] and the issue with Jumbo frames was due to flow control in the NICs. I used ethtool to turn off flow control and was able to see the expected performance boost for larger frames, the variability seemed to get worse however. I'll be writing this up and posting it on [http://www.clustermonkey.net ClusterMonkey] real soon. Also, [http://open-mx.gforge.inria.fr/ Open MX 1.0.0] has been released.
