Re: Is pthread_mutex_lock fair?

I'm a complete novice when it comes to these things - but is it possible that somewhere, something is doing an optimization? Compiler? CPU? Perhaps some subsystem along the way sees that fair scheduling would take much longer. -mike On 6/10/07, Muli Ben-Yehuda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On

You can probably buy a small cluster (4 or 8 machines?) for 45k. Then, use a shared memory system (ccNUMA maybe?) On 6/18/07, Amos Shapira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, Where would you go if you had to get a 32Gb RAM server, much preferably rack-mounted. Don't care so much about CPU or ve

Re: 32Gb servers?

In the US, I worked for a local computer store - it basically had all the Jewish Community's business - Anyway, one room of the store was an ISP - It was 2 racks - one for servers, the other for network. Server rack had COTS desktops running BSD (I think) - 2 * (mail, DNS, RADIUS,News) servers It
