Hi Mark,

The total price is not public but it's "under $ 10 million"
(http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47_STO58037,00.html).

It's the third large IBM Linux cluster with Myrinet after New Mexico and
NCSA at Urbana-Champaign, IL. IBM seems to be very comfortable with this
type of product (evolution of the SP market). However, I do not think
they are selling small scale Beowulf cluster.

Regards.
