is your goal a "server" or "supercomputing"? all that tesla stuff sorta says supercomputing, while HA etc says 'server'.
supercomputer clusters eschew HA in favor of having many independent compute units in a loose cluster that can tolerate any node dying by simply reassigning its last work unit to another node. only the persistent storage (usually a SAN or a clustered file system), and the cluster controller needs conventional HA.
I was thinking more about a "personal supercomputer in a cloud"
HA is a requirement for cloud. So I guess I have to think further about it.
ideas welcome.
