Re: A180C Stacked Together
The only thing you can do is move the memory from one server to the other

Re: A180C Stacked Together
If they run something in the terms of high-performance computing, they could use infiniband or myrinet and a cluster-aware C/Fortran compiler, but I very much doubt it.
I've got an A180C myself, and I'd like to answer honest:
This box is just too slow for compute-intensive tasks, and it's memory architecture, limit of 2GB + the 32bit CPU will also render it useless for data intensive work.
The A180C looks newer than a K-Class, but is much slower. And a K-Class is really slow in nowadays terms. :)
Ask them to get one current IA64_2 based system, which will easily provide 10 times the performance of the two A180C.
The A180C will easily find another task!(webserver, dns, anything that suits better)

Re: A180C Stacked Together
The only way I can see this happen would be to run some type of grid software like Oracle 10g.
BUT....this is 64-bit SW I'm sure so that would rule out the absolutely last 32-bit system HP ever built - the A180 - sorry.
Rgds,
Jeff

Re: A180C Stacked Together
The rx1620 should run even bigger rings around the A180's, and is 1U, so 1/4 the rack space of the two A180C's, is Itanium2 and would likely still run the older PA-RISC apps just fine under Aries emulation. And given just how slow the A180 is - heck, it was old/slow when it first shipped to be frank - the Aries emulation is likely to be still rather faster than the A180 itself.
