− | The [[Silicon Graphics]] Origin 300 was released October 9, 2001 as a mid-range server for technical computing and media applications. An Origin 300 compute node consists of a 2U chassis containing a sysem board with 2 or 4 64-bit [[MIPS]] microprocessors and up to 4GB of local memory, PCI expansion slots, and up to two hard drives. An Origin 300 system consists of 1 to 8 compute nodes with between 2 and 32 processors and 512MB to 32GB of shared memory using cache-coherent [[NUMA]] technology and appearing as a [[single system image]]. | + | The [[Silicon Graphics]] Origin 300 was released October 9, 2001 as a mid-range server for technical computing and media applications.
