The [SGI] Altix is probably the worlds largest production SSI Linux machine. It is based on the [SGI] [Origin 3000|SGIOrigin] architecture, but uses Intel Itanium2 CPUs and runs a fairly stock Redhat Linux OS. [SGI] have released all their changes to the kernel etc as open source on [http://oss.sgi.com]. It currently scales up to 64 CPUs in a [SSI] and SGI have plans for 128-way models later in the year. Each machine can also be a node in a cluster, using the high speed/low latency NUMALink interconnect, and also having Global Shared Memory access. It is one [VeryCool] system.
