This paper describes the ARGUS prototype, a high-density, low-power supercomputer built from an IXIA network analyzer chassis and load modules. The prototype is configured as a diskless distributed system that is scalable to 128 processors in a single 9U chassis. The entire system has a footprint of 0.25 m2 (2.5 ft2), a volume of 0.09 m3 (3.3 ft3) and maximum power consumption of less than 2200...

Henry David Thoreau once posed a Question which now challenges us as philosophers who would take up the issue of ethics and animals: "What sort of philosophers are we, who know absolutely nothing about the origin and destiny of cats?" This Question is a spur to us. Even if we object that the Question requires Qualification, that "absolutely nothing" is too strong. that philosophers have indeed ...

The present study aimed to merge research on initial attraction and implicit theories of relationships by examining how beliefs about relationships influence dating strategies. Research has examined role of implicit theories in the functioning of existing relationships but there is much room for growth in the area of initial attraction and dating strategies. Results revealed that destiny theory...

We propose ARGUS, a high density, low power supercomputer built from an IXIA network analyzer chassis and load modules. The prototype is a diskless MPP scalable to 128 processors in a single 9U chassis. The entire system has a footprint of 1/4 meter2 (2.5 ft2), a volume of 0.09 meter3 (3.3 ft3) and maximum power consumption of less than 2200 watts. We compare and contrast the characteristics of...
