- Multi Processor Commodity Boxes
-
Larry Ellison's people did a study on multi-processor x86 boxes and came up with this conclusion - 1 and 2 processor boxes have pretty much up-to-date processor speeds. Going to 4 and 8 way servers, you find the Megahertz drops off pretty dramatically (timing issues). Last year, IBM's x440 8-way x86 server had 1.7Mhz processors. Pretty POKEY! Larry reccomends clustering 2way linux boxes.
Yes I understand that this means that you are "horizontally" scaling instead of "vertically" - which means that IO suffers (connections between machines are much slower than connections between CPUs on a motherboard). - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 08/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
