You only have 4 QPI links per sockets, no way to connect the entire graph. Supermicro already announced such 8-way machines. See their QPI topology on page 30 of the motherboard manual available at http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon7000/7500/X8OBN-F.cfm Brice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
