Dear all, |

Do you have any experience with parallel computations on an S4881 |
| 4 |
with 4 single or dual core Opterons? The goal is to have a system |
| 5 |
flexible enough to run |
| 6 |
- a single thread job using all the available memory and |
| 7 |
- one or more multithreaded jobs sharing the physical RAM. |
| 8 |
I hope these two extremes cover the cases of future simulations. |

What are the limitations? Are there problems like missing (eg. by-BIOS |
| 11 |
PCI-asigned) half gigs as with other mobs? Speed penalties with special |
| 12 |
RAM-populations? Scaling? Experiences with the extension to 8 |
| 13 |
processors, single core vs. dual core? Etc... |
| 14 |
|

I have good experiences with Gentoo on dual Athlon and Opteron systems, |
| 16 |
as well as with dual core Intel Centino so I just want to be sure before |
| 17 |
suggesting the S4881+Gentoo combination... |

Any hints are welcome, |
