17:08 < kyron> Following yesterday's blowout, I'm asked to build up the |
5 |
possibility of replacing the old cluster (machines are +5yo) with new |
6 |
hardware. I'm hesitant between dual core |
7 |
Xeons E3110 and Quad Core Q6600 . The price difference |
8 |
for a 7 node system is ~220$ more for the Q6600... So, would 14 Xeon |
9 |
cores (qith SSE4.1) outweigh 28 Q6600 cores |
10 |
...most of our computation is basic vectorial stuff |
11 |
(k-means, k-nn, SVM...) |

The "blowout" is what seems to be an extension that was under specs for |
14 |
the load (~10.5Amp constant load)... some compelling pics: |
