To be fair I just upgraded my motherboard cpu and ram from a 6th gen intel core
i7 to an amd ryzen 5 3600 6 core 12 thread machine for around 500 euros granted
I have a lot of things which I recycled.

Im curious though not to change the topic here
Mark you mention dual socket. With what amd have to offer with the epic rome 2
series you can do more with less actually. I am just curious as to everyones
thoughts on them for a cluster?

Hi Mark,
being a chemist and working in HPC for some years now, for a change I can make
some contribution to the list as well.
I would not advice to use hardware which is over 5 years old, unless somebody
else is footing the electricity bill. The new AMDs are much faster and also as

How old is the old cluster? You might actually spend more time trying to get
the nodes all working than you’d save by having them as a compute element.
I’ve looked at piles of computers in my garage and thought “hey, I should
cluster them” and then, I realize that the discount laptop I can buy

I'd start with OpenHPC on linux. They provide well-tested recipes with

I'd use slurm for the scheduler (a single hetergeneous cluster) and the
various other bundled OpenHPC components to manage nodes and so forth.
We do
