out of curiousity are the silverstorm infiniband switches the new ones that are capabable of 20gbit/s per hca? and does the terragrid parallel filesystem run at a full 10gbit/s on the backend (over 10gige with tcp offload or infiniband?). also is each CU connected to a smallish switch as opposed to have a few 288port ib switches?
