I recommend giving two facts number of nodes number of cores
A node is a box of CPUs that share memory. A core is, well, what everyone calls a core. In my opinion, the most ambiguous term is the number of CPU's because some people use the term CPU to refer to the number of sockets and others use the term to refer to the number of cores. For a more fine-grained description you can cite, in addition, the number of sockets and the number of cores per socket. best regards, Alan _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
