Macintosh Supercomputer Clusters?
This is something I'd never expected to hear, as much of a MacOS X fan as I am:
The Virginia Tech Mac supercomputer should be fully functional and in use by January 2004. It will be used for research into nanoscale electronics, quantum chemistry, computational chemistry, aerodynamics, molecular statics, computational acoustics and the molecular modeling of proteins.
I attended a small party (about 20 people) of mostly extropians up in Santa Cruz last weekend. It was interesting to hear several large scale systems administrators discuss their newly found preference for MacOS in the data center. These were former NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD diehards, and some Linuxheads.
