Nice that CCP will be the first to use this new hardware in production, i just hope it's stable though.

It will already have undergone thorough testing by both Intel and IBM. They are going to want CCP to buy more and to spread the word about the new systems. Fingers crossed it will do exactly what it says on the tin.

Off the live feed - so no Blog yet .
we'll see it in 4 weeks with a bit of luck
new CPU from INtel and new server from IBM - ccp will be first in the world with it

Yes along with automated moving to reinforced nodes based on requests, also automated reinforcement based on pos and station timers etc...
the reinforced nodes new ones are capable of 1200+ lag free fights, and the new $50k one they didnt say how insane that will be just that EVE players are insane they unlock ability for 500 man fleet fihts and what do we do we do a 3000 man fleet fight LOL.

Agreed. There's a reason companies like this sponsor an event like fanfest. Huge Kudos to CCP for investing in new juicy hardware, and Kudos to IBM for pushing hardware into their hands, with discounts. Hopefully it pays off for them to give their product a running start into the market.

I loved that graph with the caption reading "WTF!?!?" It's true that whatever an MMO company does to expand their capacity (If the game is any good) will always cause the player base to punish the server's capabilities that much harder. As some of the devs have said in their blogs, the only thing they can hope to accomplish is to stay slightly "ahead of the curve."

Some of the changes they went through:
- 1 division will give you one kind of mission, no more chace based courier/trade/mining/kill missions.
- Removed agent quality, now based on agent level only.
- Onboard scanning, upped the scanning range and reduced scan time.
- Can now tell appart BPC from BPO's. Still not able to stack them though
- Plug in the implant without worrying about pausing ongoing training
- Tech 3: change subsystems at a POS.
- Corp logo's on ships.
- Auroa voice comming back.
- Singularity CQ release in about 2 weeks.

Good question, however a lot of the L4 R&D agents are in lowsec anyway. Guess people will be cashing out datacores and moving to the few highsec agents.

For those that didn't watch the stream, any actual specs on the server? 50k is not a large amount to drop on a server, many shops will drop 100k or 200k on a server. However, I'd assume there is a bit more to this one than just a large amount of RAM/HD space... would be curious to know more.

They couldn't say. All they mentioned was that they are not commercially available yet. Its a unreleased IBM server running a unreleased Intel CPU. They are going to be the first to use both of them in a production server. They said that 50k was a discounted price.

This is probably the most reasonable explanation. No modern company ever 'discounts' merchandise just because they think its cool and good 'potential' marketing even though thats exactly the way it was pitched. 
Fast forward a few months when ccp is pulling its collective hair out because of all the 'undocumented' issues with the 'new exclusive hardware' that is bugging out left and right. 
tl;dr: ibm and intel are probably pushing out this stuff so ccp can be the one to do the real world testing on it.

Companies can and frequently will discount a server if you are purchasing it while it is still going through prototyping/testing. Or they'll just write it off completely. One of my coworkers still has a 192 GB Dell prototype at home from 4-5 years ago when that particular server was still pre-release. They wrote it off and he got a 60k server for his home network.
That doesn't mean the server will cause all kinds of problems, I don't think they send it to potential customers until its had quite a bit of testing already.

Single threaded and polling beats interrupt-driven threaded code in high load environments. Less jitter, less latency, guaranteed response times, no surprises due to code being non-reentrant, fewer bugs. Add more single-threaded servers as you add more cores, ensuring the OS itself has a core or two to use for itself.
Proper data structures, analysis of data flows & memory usage, minimizing database calls or IPC - these will ensure greater performance gains than compiling crappy C code into machine code.

Also:
The processor is not announced by Intel but I can hint they have been semi publicly as special samples in the recent past. I'm working on an okay to talk about the exact specs, but until the server is up and live... I doubt I'll be able to.
The IBM server it is going into is from an existing model line but is a special system as well.
What I can also tell you is worries about one off customs are not an issue. This is a server, purpose build from IBM/Intel and is well supported. This is the only way were wanted to give a cool node to the players.
We'll have a SUPER DETAILED (loads of pics too) blog about this once it's live in a few weeks!!!
I think "super-node" doesn't do this server justice... I'm thinking we should start a naming contest for it on the forums :)

This server was an internal project the Virtual Worlds Team took on... basically it can double fleet fights... but the means we had to go to... well are ridiculous. But! The new server we are talking about matches or exceeds what we got from our Frankenstein server in a much more elegant package.

What will you do once you triple the allowable fleet size and NC just jumps in quadruple the number of blobbers?
It's good to see more horsepower being thrown at EvE but shouldn't you at CCP also throw in some brain power and make futile to outscale your efforts?
Edit: same for Jita.
It's not a success to squeeze in 2500 in Jita local.
It's a failure the act of designing a single central hub centric game.

There better be graphs. It wouldn't be a CCP Tech blog without alot of graphs.
Also as others have said it does sound like a prototype server. If so isn't that quite risky to run on a live server. Or will it just be used as backup for reinforcing nodes.

CCP didn't do anything to design Jita to be the central market, it happened naturally due to it being relatively central and at the time a major mission hub. ( As it's importance as a central market hub grew CCP moved the agengents away due to system load )

Well, obviously it should be called HAL. It's an IBM system, (take one letter from each letter of IBM, etc).
Also, I'm sure that occasionally it will be saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that".
HAL definitely. Doesn't have to be the 9000 model though :)

While that is true however CCP has effected it directly as far as making it grow. Adding more entry points that connected to other regions kind of forced it into the mega hub that it is today. Doing so made it easier to traffic there which diminished a lot of local trade in other areas.

Also, I'm sure that occasionally it will be saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that".
Nono, "I'm sorry Dave, but the logs show nothing."

Also:
We'll have a SUPER DETAILED (loads of pics too) blog about this once it's live in a few weeks!!!
There better be graphs. It wouldn't be a CCP Tech blog without alot of graphs.
Also as others have said it does sound like a prototype server. If so isn't that quite risky to run on a live server. Or will it just be used as backup for reinforcing nodes.
I think there were lots of graphs in my last Dev Blog... you still need more?
The server is not a prototype/one-off. It is a production system from IBM and Intel but is a very special use case. From what I am told/can talk about... it looks like it was designed to work for high performance transaction on trading floors.

So it's the 64 core, 128 Threads, 16 ram slots / cpu slot and quickpath links, children eating beast,

Cores and RAM don't really help fleet fights.... so not.. that is great for the DB... but what we are doing for the flight fight server is a tad different.

Wondering if liquid nitrogen cooling may figure somewhere in this.
I'd be guessing that in essence it will be some kind of monstrous over clock, featuring a huge cache as well.

hardware means nothing if you run SINGLE THREADED interpreted code on top of Microsoft database
Wanna bet?
I got a very good idea fleet fights on dedicated nodes will change significantly when we put the new server in place :)
ROFL!!!!!

I got a very good idea fleet fights wouldnt need dedicated nodes at all if the server code was multi threaded and solar systems scaled beyond one core :)

The server should be named Theodore Roosevelt. We can call it Teddy when we want to be affectionate with it. The smarter ones among us will always remember not to tangle with a Bull Moose.
Theodore Roosevelt; always badass, all the time.
