Got probably a half-dozen of them across the hall from my office for the HPC people. And we probably got a hundred or so nodes with 512G of RAM across the various clusters. And IBM will sell you a System/Z Z14 with 32T of memory, and crazy amounts of I/O capability (Imagine the equivalent of 320 PCI slots....) https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/17/ibm_latest_mainframe_z14/ https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=ZSD03046USEN& And yes, it will run Linux, it's a s390 architecture box. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
