Operating Systems AIX IBM's pSeries 570 vs a 520 vs 550 Post 302752013 by MichaelFelt on Saturday 5th of January 2013 08:52:50 AM

If you are looking at a single CEC model of the P570 there is not a lot of difference between the P520, P550 or P570 from a "sand-box" for "playing around"

A P520 will have 1, 2 or 4 processors depending on Model,
A P550 will have a maximum of 8 or 16 depending on Model,
and a P570 will have, I suspect, a maximum of 4 processors per CEC - at least with Power5. (A P570 could have up to 4 CECS interconnected in a frame for 16 processors and much more RAM).

Personally, with a small budget - look at P520.. If you are looking for experience with more than 4 processors - P550 is probably most economical path.

Hope this helps.

p.s. Rack units don't have to be in a rack, but stacking can become more difficult when you have more than one - regardless of manufacturer.

RAFKILL(6)							   Games Manual 							RAFKILL(6)

NAME
Rafkill - a vertical shoot'em-up SYNOPSIS
rafkill [ -l ] [ -w ] [ -g<speed> ] [ -h ] DESCRIPTION
Rafkill is a clone of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, a classic shoot'em-up game. You have a bird's eye view of the playing field, which is an alien world, and your job is to destroy the enemies that are flying towards you shooting bullets. The score lets you buy life, shield, better weapons or even new spaceships. Killing enemies gives you money, or score. If you kill a group of enemies, you might get a handy coin which gives you more score. There are other powerups, so look for them too. The score lets you buy more weapons and hull parts. There are 5 weapon groups and a few weapons in each group, but you can only have one weapon per group except for the accessory weapons in which you can have up to 3 weapons. Once you buy 3, you cannot buy any more. There are 3 hulls, which have each higher life and shield than the previous one and gives you access to a new set of weapons. Buying a new hull does not throw away your weapons, but it does throw away your accessory weapons. OPTIONS
-l run the game without displaying the background -w run the game in windowed mode instead of full screen -g<speed> run the game at a different speed (default is 40) -h, -help, --help display help message and exit KEYS
Left, Right, Up, Down move the ship across the screen Space or Enter fire the main weapon Alt switch between alternate weapons Esc return to the game menu AUTHOR
