Why would you want to waste > money on Itanium boxes in a cluster configuration? Because places like pnl.gov want 64-bit machines? ;-) Seriously: The peak of the Itanium is great if your application can get there, and a few codes like Lattice QCD can. You have more flexability in main memory size. But these benefits might not be enough to outweigh the higher cost than a P4 or Athlon or whatever. -- greg
