Subject: What Are The Pros & Cons To Running EDA Apps On SUN Compute Farms ?

Hello, John,

We are investigating converting our individual high performance desktop Sun
workstation computing model to a compute server, specifically Sun's E10000
server with multiple processors and up to 1 Gig of RAM on each processor.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of compute server for EDA
applications?   What are the pros and cons of a single compute server model
versus a "compute farm" network of high performance workstations?
