| Bunyip is dead |
- ANU's page on the machine
- The ACS on the coat tails of the Gordon Bell back-for-the-buck award announcement
I suspect that the Bunyip super computer at ANU has been dead for a while, and I simply didn't get the memo. However, I was walking into DCS late this morning (we can discuss the fact that it was cold enough here to freeze my hot water pipes overnight later), and the technical support group was demolishing the hardware.
I think its kind of sad really -- there doesn't seem to be anything to replace it, and clusters of inexpensive Linux machines are clearly where its at.
Oh well.
Some links for those interested in Bunyip:
