This is classic for this list.<br>
The topic:<br>
"Re: Re: GPU boards and cluster servers."<br>
Gets turned into a discourse on Dell hardware and related.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the (useful) question:<br>
"Subject: [Beowulf] Q: AMD Opteron (Barcelona) 2356 vs Intel Xeon 5460<br>
<br>
Very likely a hopeless question, with this little information, but just
in case: <br>
Does anyone have any 'real world' experience with 'both' of these CPUs,
in terms of relative performance for 'whatever work you do' ?<br>
I realize the xeon is a faster mhz part (3.16ghz xeon vs 2.3ghz
opteron) so I'm more concerned with "relative performance per mhz" "<br>
Gets totally ignored.<br>
<br>
Pardon me, ignored except for the guy who wrote:<br>
"We have "only" the Quad-Xeon boxes with E5435 and these are quite fast,<br>
indeed it seems that FFTW seems to run faster on Xeons but I have not<br>
made any benchmarks for the past ~ 9 months, so I don't know about the<br>
latest Opterons."<br>
<br>
<sigh><br>
<br>
Sorry to disturb.. let the babbling continue.<br>
