Deviates a bit, in fact right the opposite: I lost the contact with SGI seats a couple of years ago but I remmeber something that could be a nightmare to NL and everyone else that counts cores.
That time Irix was the only platform for witch you couldn't download oracle for because they just couldn't count how many processores where there with SGI's NUBUS technology.
I keep thinking: 1- Does that happen when you have a linux based SGI system? If yes, is that still true, no clue how many cores in there?
If someone know something about this I'd like to know.
