Each cabinet of the Columbia supercomputer, built by SGI for NASA,
has 32 processors. The system, unveiled Oct. 26 at the Ames Research
Center in Moffett Field, Calif., has 10,240 Itanium 2 processors in total.

Massive white "NUMAlink" cables packed with copper wires connect
16 cabinets into a single 512-processor computer. Twenty of these
Silicon Graphics Inc. machines, connected with InfiniBand networking
equipment from Voltaire, make up NASA's Columbia
supercomputer. (Photo credit: Stephen Shankland)

The forthcoming BX2 model of SGI's Altix 3700 packs 64 Itanium 2
processors into one cabinet, compared to 32 for its predecessor, but the
resulting heat led SGI to offer the system with liquid cooling built into the
back door--an option NASA chose for its Columbia supercomputer.
