Since Larry is off doing other things for the next week and a half, I'll attemt to to answer that for him. Larry was possibly referring to IRIX scaling to 1024 CPUs, e.g. the "Chapman" machine, mentioned here: http://www.sgi.com/company_info/awards/03_computerworld.html
It appears that SGI is working to scale the Altix to 128 CPUs on Linux. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=106323064611280&w=2
