there's a company, ScaleMP, which seems to be selling some kind of

their
f1200 product (rebadged Ciara?).
SGI seems to aim it purely at structural/cfd/crash sims -
mainly using Abaqus and related tools.
Abaqus is now MPI capable (the first of the implicit FEM codes that
I know
of). So ScaleMP isn't needed for the newer version of Abaqus.
I've been quite curious to try something like the f1200 as a potential
replacement for our Altixes, which were bought predominantly for
running single-threaded large-memory jobs.
