The Cray XD1 is actually running Linux.. I've even managed to build and 
boot my own kernel on one. They are actually using a derivative of the 
OpenIB SDP code that has been ported to what they call "RapidArray", 
which is infiniband at the wire-protocol level. They don't implement any 
of the higher level stuff (like, obviously,  SMA)

I'm going to take a look at pathscale's sma when I get a chance. (which 
in reality probably won't be until after SC)
