[Beowulf] Barcelona for CFD, FEM, and Weather Forecasting codes

[amjad ali]

Hello all,

AMD's Quad Core Barcelona is about to release.

Would any of you please guide that whether a cluster with 2 Quad Core
AMD CPUs, RAM 2 GB/core and Inifiniband is quite suitable for CFD, FEM
and Weather Forecasting type parallel codes? OR same amount invested
in a cluster with 2 Dual Core AMD Opterons, RAM 2 GB/core and
Infiniband is more suitable for these codes?

regards,
Amjad Ali.
