calling this one 40 processor machine is much like calling a 42u rack filled with dells an 80 processor machine.


It's like calling a bunch of minicomputers sending packets to each other over lines leased from AT&T a "network". Any fool can see that that's just a use of AT&T's network, not a network in itself. Networks are made of long lines interconnected with crossbar switches.

Right?
