[plug] iVEC Industry Uptake Grant Scheme

[Stuart Midgley]

Yes, it could be appropriate.  Depends on what you want to do.  I'm  
not much of a fan of scyld clusters...  but a lot of people are.  A  
project building a cluster utilising something like Lustre to deliver  
a high performance parallel database would be cool... perhaps for the  
financial institutes?

It is all about Industry Uptake and trying to develop projects which  
encourage and promote advanced computing and vis in industry.

We already run probably the most feature rich queue software on our  
SGI Altix...
