Hey,
I finally had a chance to take a couple of pictures of our new Cray X2. The new vector unit was attached to HECToR, our Cray XT4. So, I guess this means we’re now technically a Cray XT5h system. What a bunch of hokey names. The X2 was originally called the “Black Widow”. Which was a cool name.
The way the room is laid out it’s really hard to get a good picture, but here goes.
Notice the pretty blue lights on the front? They don’t move, they are just pretty blue lights.
Does anyone but me notice a resemblance to Dr. Who’s Daleks?

Finally, pictures! I wonder who in engineering had the job to design the blue lights?

PRETTY. Our XT5 test system arrived last week with Einstein on the front, looks very very cool, and Slick will be here next week to teach us how to use the blasted thing.
Our our new P6 infiniband switch has lots of pretty blue lights that twinkle, btw.
