SGI Personal Supercomputer
Um, WANT!
A Personal Supercomputer. If you could only see me, my propeller is spinning so fast, I’m about to achieve liftoff.
SGI has been through some tough times, but they still are winning the cool points war with the other hardware vendors. Since they bought Cray, they have some really spiffy tech. It’s too bad they’re so far over in niche hardware-land that no one really pays attention to them. The 80/20 rule applies here as well; if you’re not operating on the edges of the performance envelope, the rather significant increase in cost is not worth it (versus, say, a Dell cluster).
I’m sure this will cost a few pennies, but it’s probably going to cost too much money for me to ever buy for my desk. Still, it’s a nice fantasy…
