450 watts peak is not too far off from what I've experienced.
two AMD socket F dual core cpu's on a TYAN Thunder n3600M S2932GNR motherboard. Max startup power use: 330W Idle power use after OS boot: 200W Maximum power use during heavy file I/O to raid (using io_bench.c): 271W Max power use during an MPI pheapsort.c run (11 processes): 351W estimated max continuous power use (heavy I/O & cpu use): 422W Glen On Tue, 2007-07-10 at 17:22 -0500, Jon Bernard wrote: > Two vendors recently bid on a cluster we're buying, and we've got > questions about their power estimates that I though I'd also put to the > list while we wait for the vendors to respond. > > Vendor A estimates that at peak load a compute node with two AMD 2216s, > 4 GB of 667 DDR2 RAM, a hard drive, and an IB board will draw 265 watts. > Vendor B estimates that such a node will draw 450 watts. > > Vendor B also estimates that a similar machine with two Intel 5160s will > draw 550 watts at peak load. > > Anybody have any actual measurements? > > Jon > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
