Re: Configuration recommendation for Opteron 6376

So what's the general recommendation for SMP? Should I stick to cpu:30 and above just based on PPD alone? I'm not going to dig too far into the optimizations, because I'm typically a 30k ppd contributor anyway... A single one of these blades matches my normal daily output... and I can only run them ...

Re: Where are all the Core17 units?
