The ad says:
"Go from out of the box to running parallel applications in minutes!"

But for our purposes:
Without shared memory, this cluster could run eight different chess programs at
once, but you couldn't run ONE parallel version of any chess program that could
use more than one CPU, like Crafty, Deep Shredder, etc.

So --- you can run programs in parallel, but you can't run parallel programs.

Why isn't Rolf ALL OVER this??? <grin>
