[geeks] anyone know about this? 72-core, 48GB computer?

[John Francini]

that's exactly what the device is -- at least if you compare it to the  
info on the SiCortex web site.  This is the "developer version" with  
"only" 72 processors.  Their products scaled to as many as 5,832  
processors, according to the site.

This is the info on the development system: <http://www.sicortex.com/products/deskside_development_system 
 >

Assuming it's accurate, this would be a fun system to play with.
