A big concentration of sparc +machines hosted by Hiroki Sato in Japan include some large +multiprocessor e4500's (10, 12 and 14 CPUs) that have been extremely +valuable for SMP testing. Also, a couple of machines hosted by ISC, +an amd64 hosted by Scott Long, three i386 machines at Yahoo! Korea, +and sometimes Kennaway's own machines in Canada are used for the +official package builds.</p> + +<p>The HP BladeSystem cluster is hosted at the Yahoo! datacenter in +the San Francisco Bay area.
