From what I know big systems are usually build with power-of-two
factors. Although I suppose with a ring fabric you could have an
arbitrary number of nodes.

Anyway, I've heard SGI talk about 4K cpu systems, 8K cpu systems and 16K
cpu systems, I've not heard them talk about 16K-n systems.

Also, as in other parts of the reply I send, this limitation seems
completely unnecessary.
