Rick suggested using the Cluster Ohio Project as a means of obtaining some information from users. The T3E is now shut down. The frame and memory structures are being replaced on the SV1. The evolution should be completed midyear. The first generation cluster is working well.
Some upgrades are due.
Further cluster procurement will take place before the end of the calendar year. The test on the Itanium systems are going well. The cluster timeline is on track. Will begin to cascade older machines in August. The proposal process needs to be developed.
