Hello (and greetings to all the people with whom I have worked in the past!!),
In building our nodes I wanted to ask the community your thoughts/suggestions/experiences on having a single machine node. We wonder if having a quad-core machine (instead of 3 separate audio, video and display ones) will be enough for sessions with many attendees, streaming MPEG4 and running shared applications. Jason Bell reported CPU usage of 40% with 4 video streams (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/web-mail-archive/lists/ag-tech/2008/03/msg00045.html); we are planning to send up to 8 video streams. I'd appreciate your recommendations. Thanks much!
