Xserve G5 Cluster node configuration Apple Server Solutions
Xserve G5 Xserve RAID Mac OS X Server
Technical Specifications.
Xserve G5 cluster node configuration was designed from the ground up as a computing powerhouse. And the hard work of countless Apple engineers has paid off brilliantly.

Xserve G5 offers you the best performance for your money. One dual processor node can execute over 30 billion single precision floating-point operations per second, or 30 gigaflops per U. That means a 42U rack filled with Xserve G5 systems can offer over 1.26 teraflops of processing power. Best of all, by eliminating the cost of unneeded components, Apple has made this high-density 1U system extremely affordable.
