I know it's not on a mainframe but if you think 8,000 vms is a lot (which it is!) Ron Minnich ran 1,000,000 Linux VMs on the Thunderbird supercomputing cluster with Dell supplied 4,480-nodes.

But still. If I understand this correctly 8000vms is one of these mainframes. That's one machine versus a supercomluting cluster of 4480 nodes.

yes, that's why I qualified it and gave the numbers so it gives a kind of measure of the relative power if these things.

~5000 dell nodes = 1,000,000 vms = 200 per node

1 mainframe = 8000 vms per mainframe

so 1 mainframe approx. 40 dell nodes
