A must read. Thanks Jeff! It is a good write up, very good ... but there looks to be an error under "Memory Bandwidth Performance" ... first, for socket-local-memory, I am not sure of the relevance of the QPI GT rate. I would calculate the maximum rate to socket-local-memory with 1 DIMM per channel at: 1.333 GHz x 3 Channels x 8 bytes = 31.992 GBytes/sec not 35 GByters/sec. Maybe I am doing something wrong. ยด I understood the 35 GB/s to be the transfer rate that you reach when accessing Memory with 8 Cores. So it involves 6 Channels (2 CPUs, 3 channels each). ~64 GB/s (theory) - 35 GB/s (real life). Makes sense to me. Jan
