[Info-vax] Chinese Alpha?

[Keith Parris]

Found some interesting quotes here:
http://vr-zone.com/articles/chinese-high-end-cpus-are-now-in-the-game--details--part-2-alpha/14347.html

"China saw the value and capability of Alpha, and built a number of 
Alpha systems, some of them very large for the time. It also fully 
licenced the Digital / Tru64 UNIX and related software stack, including 
getting the full source code, from Compaq after the latter bought DEC."

"After over a decade of work and three generations of CPUs, Jiangnan 
Reseach Lab has shown the ShenWei (Sunway) SW-3 processor, the Chinese 
flavour of Alpha, not in a small workstation, not in a server, but in no 
less than a huge petaflop-class supercomputer machine in Jinan, Shandong 
- the Sunway BlueLight MPP."

"SW3 aka SW1600 is a 16-core, 64-bit RISC processor, with each core 
looking a lot like an improved version of the 21164A EV56 Alpha core."

I wonder if the Chinese got TruClusters along with Tru64.
