Hello guys, |

|

As I told some of you in frankfurt, I might have the possibility of getting a |
4 |
big hp machine. Here is what it is |

This machine has : |
9 |
|
10 |
8*Xeon900Mhz(2M cache) yes, 8 cpus |
11 |
16G of Ram yes, 16 giga |
12 |
2*18G hard drive in RAID1 |
13 |
|
14 |
the bad things : |
15 |
it weights 65 kg |
16 |
it is big (6U) |
17 |
it eats power (1.5 KW) |
18 |
it can have only 2 hard drives |
19 |
the RAM access is not the fastest in the world |
20 |
|
21 |
but this machine still kicks ass :) It can handle 1000 of loads, and you have |
22 |
still control (has been tested). I don't know if it delivers more instant power |
23 |
than a dual g5 though. |
24 |
|
25 |
This could be perfect for compilation, or cross compilation. And for anything |
26 |
cpu consuming task. |
27 |
|
28 |
Maybe it would need new hard drives, but it is expensive. |

|
30 |
Would this be useful ? |

|
32 |
The guy is ok to give it to us if it is fully used. So we need to list him what |
33 |
we have today, and how we would use this machine. |
