| 12 | | '''April 30, 2008:''' 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. |
