Maxintosh

alternateorg on May 17, 2001


The… cluster is capable of delivering over 50 GFlops of peak power, and it is based on 16 Dual PowerPC G4/450, 32 processors, 12 Gigabytes of RAM, 0.5 Terabyte of hard disk space, running Mac OS 9, over 100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet, switched by one Asanté Intracore 8000. This is probably the fastest Macintosh-based cluster in the World.

Wonder what it would run like if it used OS X.

    Actually, if you look closely at the right hand monitor you can see its running OSX… you can make out the dock and the white menubars…
