Hi all. Im new to this world, but here in one university of Madrid, we are planning to construct a beowulf for lattice QCD numerical simulations. We are thinking in 8-16 dual Athlon MP processors based in the new Tyan MPX mainboard. We have a problem with the comunication. Myrinet is very expensive for us, and we are thinking in Gigabit over cooper, but we dont know if this has some problems with latencies. In other words, Do you think that the improvement from fast Ethernet to Gigabit over cooper Ethernet is good enougth? Also we dont know very well what the latencies of gigabit over cooper are compared with fast ethernet and myrinet, maybe some of us can help us. Thanks to all. Alberto.
