The Altix NUMA interconnect has the same speed as far as I can recall as Hypertransport. It is the distance (real physical cable length) that creates latencies for huge systems. Sadly the Hypertransport is designed to stay on the motherboard. Hypertransport can only be said to be fast because its only used for tinzy winzy systems of a few processors. Are you saying that the design limitations of Hypertransport are an advantage? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
