Herc on SiCortex?

[edamjr]

SiCortex make (well, made) a parallel deskside box - 72 CPUs, 48GB, RedHat, GCC etc.

Has anyone explored the possibility of making Hercules run on this box? It would be a beast!

Well I bought a cheap SiCortex box on ebay. 72 CPUs, 48GB memory, for under $1k - not a bad deal! If I get Herc running on it, you'll be the second to know :-)

Oh, man. You've got me wishing I was employed just so I could lay hands on
one of these.
