I am looking at two different configurations of 600Mhz, 2M cache alpha 21264w 6*2 processor UP2000, 512M RAM or 12*1 processor DS10L 256M RAM both options include high speed networking (myrinet in one case, wulfkit in the other; but possibly I could swap). Both will run Linux. The pricing works out approximately the same. Is there anything obvious that favours one of these configurations over the other? If the answer is "it depends", what does it depend on? One thing that is a bit worrying is having two processors talking through one PCI bus to the high speed network. The other is that I understand the UP2000 memory subsystem is not as good as the ds20, and apparently can't provide the same bandwidth to two processors. (see e.g. http://www.dl.ac.uk/CFS/benchmarks/compchem.html, for anectdote, but no numbers.) Does anyone have two processor stream numbers for UP2000s? Clues for the clueless?
