Originally by: Lex Sodrian Isnt Sisi a single node? Or is sisi also a cluster of several servers?
Currently it has 16 nodes.
Originally by: Ishina Fel I actually believe that this Armageddon Day was not just a random event to pass the downtime, but also an extended stress test - and there's no better way to get as many people as possible to stress-test than with the promise of free for all pew-pew
It was a stress test.
And how many does Tq have, just in comparison?
I think TQ has around 160-200 nodes atm.

It's around 200 I believe, but I don't have an exact number.
Hey Wrangler, could you tell me how much it would cost to equip every single system in EVE with it's own node? I want to find out how high that figure is. 
Or just the cost of one server + it's peripheral networking equipment would be fine.
There are approximately 6500 solar systems in EVE. Average IBM blade unit costs about 1500 USD. Sums up at 10 million USD.
But there would still be server lag in Jita, Motsu and large battles.

Originally by: Professor Smartypants Should get CCP reasonably high on the supercomputer chart 
EVE cluster is not a supercomputer, because of maximum of 1 CPU per node limitation. Once the core EVE code is rewritten and Infiniband hardware installed to support multiple CPUs per node, Tranquility has a chance of becoming a proper supercomputer.
