Winner of Name That Ware November 2008!

The ware from November 2008 was a Sicortex CPU node from one of their older machines. Some nifty facts about the board —

Module (27 6-way SMP CPUs + 54 DDR2 DIMMs) is powered by 10A/48V, with 68 software-visible temperature sensors.

The fabric connectors have 702 differential pairs running at 2 GHz mesochronous; insertion force is 120+ pounds. Now that’s what I’m talking about! Master Knight (who taught me everything I know about computers) had a saying: “It’s the wires, stupid!” (or connectors in this case). This is a nice array of connectors.

Module weight, fully populated, is greater than 25 pounds; the PCB is 0.122″ thick and it has 24 layers.

My kinda ware. Thanks again to Bobby Woods-Corwin for sharing this beautiful piece of hardware.

Oh, and the winner: Joe Bleau! Nice work on nailing down the module. I’m always impressed at how fast people guess these wares. email me to claim your prize!
