Hello,
Can somebody recommend CentOS-OK, dual socket motherboards for compute
elements? A quick look up at Intel pages suggests they are thinking of
them as "server boards", but then they recommend them as "for SMB",
I'm somewhat puzzled about it.
It would be nice to know what MBs you are using, pr

Eduardo,
Are you going to be writing your own HPC software, or using some

for real numeric stuff (as opposed to things like video processing that
utilizes sse3), the AMD processors often outperform Intel. current AMD
dual socket server processors

In general, the price goes up non-linearly as you go above 2 sockets,
making 2 sockets the sweet spot when it

I don't think I can, but it is competitive with Dell and HP
as an example while the innovation put into the cloud rack
is far beyond anything Dell or HP offer to mere mortals.
Closest HP offers is the "SL" series of
