[ale] [OT] Drool!

Sometimes I just have to slobber over the next-gen HPC parts list:

 http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SHFI-i1C.cfm

coupled with the switch

http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/Networking/SSH-C48Q.cfm

Yes. Those are 100Gbps network devices. Fantasies of a rack full of
high-core count CPUs with honkin' GPU monsters and massive coprocessor
cards and multiple TB of RAM in each node.

Why limit my fantasy to a single rack?! It's my daydream! I can have a
whole ROOMFUL and still don't have to pay the power bill.

BWAHAHAHA!!!

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
