Beautiful 300+ processor FreeBSD cluster

Love the clean layout too

Here's a quote from the "Lessons Learned" section:

"When we expand the cluster to a second row of racks next year,
we plan to switch to having patch panels at the top of each rack
connecting to panels beside the switch."

That's the way I wired my work network

I have no idea what I would do with that beast, But it has to make one drool anyway.

What's cool is that they use PXEBOOT for all the nodes! I got a PXEBOOT system working at home and they are correct on how remarkably easy it is to do in FreeBSD.
