[Beowulf] Three notes from ISC 2006

[Greg Lindahl]

First off, HP has posted the highest SPEC200fp peak result for an x86
cpu, 3048. First over 3000, too. It uses a combination of the Intel
and PathScale compilers.

http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2006q2/cpu2000-20060612-06162.asc

Interestingly, this number is better than all currently published
Itanium results!

Second, we have a new whitepaper about performance of the Intel
Woodcrest CPU and InfiniPath interconnect on real applications, email
me for a copy.

Third, MHHHHH MHHHHHH MHHHHHHHHHHHHH. (That's the sound I make when I
can't tell you something.)
