Wolfram
“Building and managing a cluster is a horrible nightmare of knotted cablesand tangled software, unless, of course, you’re building an Xserve cluster”, said Wolfram Research co-founder Theodore Gray. “Our customers appreciatethe power and elegance of Xserve for the same reason they appreciate thepower and elegance of Mathematica — it lets them get to work. OneMathematica on one Xserve G5 is a force to be reckoned with, and multiplyingthat power onto a cluster of eight, 16, or more G5 processors withgridMathematica on Xserve will give new meaning to the word supercomputer”.
