[Beowulf] If I were specifying a new custer...

[Douglas Eadline]

Thanks for all the replies. I may write this up.

One other pointed question.

In general, how much has the Spectere/meltdown issue and Intel
Fab issue effected your decisions of Intel vs AMD?

Or are your decisions still based on performance/price/other
benchmarks?
