Is it inside a church? 200.100.53.26 14:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Could a knowledgable person please disambiguate fabric in the passage "adapters on each server blade and switch fabric of 12 Myrinet switches"? The only option at Fabric that would make sense in this case would be Fibre Channel fabric, but it is not clear to me that this would be a proper piping to establish. Thanks.

Of course the position within the TOP500 listing can be used in the article (if properly augmented by the date at which this information was extracted). But since the TOP500 list is in constant motion, wouldn't it be better to add this information in form of a small table, which can be easier updated as a paragraph. Furthermore - and this goes along with the above - MareNostrum will be supersided as Europe's fastest supercomputer by another BlueGene/L installation at the reseacrh center Juelich.

The new Top500 is published and MareNostrum advanced! It is now a 5th place. It seems they upgraded it with JS21 blades using PowerPC 970MP. I'm not familiar with the details of this upgrade but this article shoud probably be updated to reflect this. -- Henriok 00:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I suggest that we rename this article MareNostrum (supercomputer). IBM did build it, granted that, but it's owned by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. It will reflect how some other supercomputers articles are named, like: Thunderbird (supercomputer), Columbia (supercomputer) and Kalpana (supercomputer). And.. in contrast to other "IBM Whatever" machines, MareNostrum is not a custom built machine (like IBM Roadrunner), it's built from standard parts. -- Henriok 00:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
What's the relevance of the "see also" links for "LOFAR" and "El Club de los Astronautas"? I don't really see the connection with the supercomputer -- 89.131.87.84 17:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
From what I've been able to turn up, there are actually three versions of MareNostrum, and the main article has a hybrid of them, which makes it factually incorrect.
The first (2004) was based on IBM JS20s (PowerPC 970 processors) ( http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/7390.wss).
The second (2006) was based on IBM JS21s (PowerPC 970MP processors) ( http://www.bsc.es/marenostrum-support-services/marenostrum-system-architecture).
The third and current system (2013?) is based on IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4 (Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors) ( http://www.bsc.es/marenostrum-support-services/marenostrum-system-architecture/compute-racks). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThinkOpenly0 ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
