Sure, but a lot of these new systems are actually NUMA architectures under the
covers (I'm not totally up to date on all the various vendor's models, but
certainly there's been a nonzero number of the multi-socket x86_64 proliants
we've ordered in the last half decade that have been NUMA - not sure about
cache-coherent vs. not though... I think, not).

You can't link multiple chassis like you can the Origin, but I think the above
fact is the basis of the OP's question.


ok
