It runs Linux. While Linux is well know to work with multiple cores, has anyone
actually measured (or even properly modeled) that many cores? 

Beowoulf or other similar clusters (MOSIX, etc) don't count as they are 
seperate machines, not all the cores in one.

Note that they went out of business, did they ever ship any machines? If
so what?
