just saw on the unisys website that they make their own 32 processor machines with intel xeons. how'd they manage that?
any other companies that make proprietary x86 machines? sun used to make them but they weren't too popular
 
I'm fairly sure they arn't using clustering, I've seen one of their boxes (this one was a 16x box) and I don't remember seeing any networking hardware there. I'm about 99% sure that this is a real shared memory machine. The Unisis rep I talked to said they can do this with any IA32 CPU you want to use (probably just Athlon/Pentium I'm sure). That's what Unisis is good at, comming up with interesting propriatary solutions.



<< Clusters, you can make a cluster w/ virtually limitless CPUs with the right interfacing. Just look at ASCI White >>

 
Well, PC Resources was working on an RDRAM AMD solution until he went MIA in afgansitan on an ultra secret Swedish SAS mission 🙂
 
While not an entirely proprietary system, Dell is somewhat close, due to their special ATX spec, they have proprietary power supplies and mainboards.
