Our local Wisconsin university, UW-EC, received an entire computer lab full of SGI workstations in the 90's when SGI was big. I even had a friend who worked at SGI in Chippewa Falls, WI. I recall lots of folks fleeing to Cray (same city) over the years. It's sad to see SGI falling apart like this, but hopefully HP is a good home.
- wavesplash 10y agoSilicon Graphics was bought by Rackable for pennies back in 2009, Rackable then changed its name to SGI. The SGI of old is long gone.

We have an SGI UV300 system, which has a single kernel image running on 96 cores with 6TB of RAM. Not many people build systems like that these days. The newest expansion of the Goddard supercomputer uses SGI servers. I wish them well as part of HPE.
