Anyone knows about the health of this 512-node IB cluster?
http://www.fujitsu.com/news/pr/archives/month/2003/20030731-02.html

Is it working or work still in progress?
Looks like this is the largest IB cluster news I ever read (other than

below)..anyone knows about an IB cluster larger than this?

thanks, som.
