No. Isn't Sun's biggest business x86-64 hardware running Linux? My cluster is all AMD64 Sun gear and they gave us a killer edu discount on it. I've been very happy with their X2200 series as a cluster node. Actually our datacenter has a ton of Sun gear in it and we have a site support contract. I've been to a bunch of Sun HPC consortiums and while some time has been dedicated to the Niagara platform at each, I'd say the biggest focus is on x86 hardware. I guess I may be in the minority on this list, but I'm a pretty big Sun fan (and I don't use Solaris/Sparc). -- Glen L. Beane Software Engineer The Jackson Laboratory Phone (207) 288-6153
