Google is full

Phil Payne

i was at presentation several months ago about some of the google activity. one claim was that they had reduced the cost of supercomputer by at least 2-3rds. this is a supercomputer defined as a GRID-type operation with lots and lots of MIPS and DISK packed into small space. They had fined tuned the packaging and construction and were able to do it for 1-3rd the cost that you would normally pay for racks & racks of densely packed processors and disk drives (tens of thousands of each)

i've always seen a fairly high percentage of hits on our garlic web pages from search engines ... as well as other sources ... eserver magazine even did article on our garlic web pages last year

more recently somebody in comp.arch commented on the subject of "garlic" coming up in dog&pony show at almaden insturctions

I've even noticed that the rate of google hits seemed to have doubled over the past several months. I've somewhat suspected that the search engines were using our garlic pages as test cases because of the extremely high proportion of hrefs. the ietf rfc index

and the merged taxonomies and glossaries html files

are extremely dense with hrefs (primarily because the information is maintained in a very complex knowledge base and the html files are generated by an application).
