Some sort of 2 core chip without ecc RAM and without low latency infiniband network that is enough for your calculations? Usually such cards are a $100 or so a piece. then add chip costs. i3 is right now. http://ark.intel.com/products/50177/Intel-Core-i3-560-Processor-(4M- Cache-3_33-GHz) $117-$138 introduction price for 3.3Ghz dual core chip. And it's TDP 73 watt. Add mainboard. Probably at full load we're looking at 150 watt or so. So best case you're looking at a $250 pricerange, or $125 a core, without network yet and without RAM and 75 watt a core. Isn't that a tad expensive? My nodes here, network not counted, were $25 a core (2.5Ghz Xeon L5420, they're under $30 on ebay now) and total box including Mellanox QDR card eats 170 watt from the power tap at full load (100 watt idle but that's not a relevant measure in HPC, much as opposed to server farms) so that's 21 watt a core.

The big mystery question is: why those cheap buys (qlogics and mellanox). Why not Nvidia as well? You need a good chip in the end, and nvidia and AMD have probably a huge amount of patents in manycore/gpu domain that would be pretty much needed as well for intel. If you just want to espionage, take over some cheap communication fabrics and/or HPC manufacturers - if you want to make a profit you also need a fast chip. Now it's true the Kepler from Nvidia is 28 nm and not 22 nm, yet it's very impressive. If Nvidia in say a year from now manages to produce a great Tesla based upon it, they rock 'n roll and should be able to mount 2 gpu's on 1 card as the datapath is just 256 bits wide and not 384 bits as their previous one.

I would think there may be a "back license" in there for > Cray somewhere. Not sure this is an HPC play. An interesting point, the whole AMD/SeaMicro thing had passed me by I must admit, and so it will be interesting to see how both deals do pan out for the purchasers, especially how Intel balance/partition up their IB and Cray interconnect investments. cheers!

I think it may be a routing/firewall issue near the beowulf.org end. I emailed the list owners, beowulf-owner at beowulf.org, a month ago but did not receive any replies, I'm not sure if the email did get through, it did not bounce! However, if you need to change you subscriber options, then you can use the email interface instead. Send an email to beowulf-request at beowulf.org with just the word "help" (without quotes) in the body, you will then get a reply with all the options available to you. The -request email address did work for me :-) HTH Fred On 03/05/12 13:40, Douglas Eadline wrote: > > > I know Penguin runs the list, but I'm not sure who > to contact, I'll forward it to the list.
