Hi, I have two questions:
1. Is there any influence on performance of a NFS-server from the usage of x32
CPU and OS instead of x64, if all other characteristics of the system, i.e.
amount of RAM, soft-SATA-II RAID 0, Realtek GLAN NIC are the same?
2. Is the Etherchannel technology (channel bonding) useful for CFD-application
running on a cluster of two Dual-Xeon servers?
CFD codes are usually latency sensitive. So channel bonding
doesn't buy you anything and may actually hurt (but just a little).
Try something like OpenMX over GigE. Much better latencies
and should perform and scale better.
