I'm often on the bubble in reporting stories not directly aligned with HPC. I want to look into the NEC thing though, that looks interesting. Scott – thanks for the response.

It is interesting, as there are a lot of different sub-cultures of hardware that we can learn from. In fact, <a href="http://www.necam.com/Servers/FT/" rel="nofollow">NEC markets the hardware version</a> of what everRun does with software. They do this through lock-step processing capabilities in the Xeon and Itanium platform. I imagine that this could be applied to large scale solutions where single-image multi-core servers have an advantage over node-based compute clusters (if there is one - I'm not saying there is).
