Talk about money being no object... Does anyone know what Crafty performance is like on the latest s390 hardware under Linux? If I knew anyone at IBM, I'd quiz them as to how well Linux scales to a 16-way Z900 or (8-way for that matter) running on the bare metal (as opposed to running under VM). And if it does scale, then compile crafty on that and at least find out the n-way speedup factor for more than 4 processors.
