The latest model, the Origin 3000, is designed around a modular set of "[bricks|http://www.sgi.com/origin/3000/bricks.html]", so you have different bricks which contain CPUs, RAM, PCI-X slots, etc. With the latest CPU modules, SGI can fit 128 CPUs and quarter of a terabyte of memory in a single rack. Older models were limited to 16 or 32 CPUs per rack. |
