We're working on a 64 node dual core Opteron cluster with a wide variety of mpi heavy applications and have run into the typical funding issues that are forcing some configuration restrictions (down sizing the wish list). The original concept included a 64 node, dual processor, dual core cluster with an Infiniband 9288 or 9096. As a means to reduce our cost the suggestion was raised to cascade 4 9024 switches, or reducing the node count, Opteron clock rate, and memory. Just wondering how severe the hop penalty might be in the case of cascading switches? ciao~ michael
