I have a couple 48-core 1U boxes. They can build gcc and other large packages very quickly. The scientists who run single process simulations also like them but they're not real picky about how long it takes for something to run. They also generally spend close to no time at all optimizing anything. -- Jon Forrest Research Computing Support College of Chemistry 173 Tan Hall University of California Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720-1460 510-643-1032 jlforr...@berkeley.edu _______________________________________________ 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
