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