Number crunching servers are used for running CPU-hungry processes, usually floating point calculations. Typically those would be various numerical simulations, solving of large matrices, Monte Carlo calculations, etc. See http://tx.technion.ac.il/~agmon/linux4me.html for my view on why Linux is great for this sort of thing. -- Orna. | http://tx.technion.ac.il/~agmon A cat has claws at the end of its paws.
