Intel Xeon E5-2697V2 CPU (2.7GHz, 12 Core, 24 Threads, 30MB Cache, LGA

Product Information

Dont you think that a 262.000 core server and 100s of TB of RAM sounds more like a cluster, than a single fat SMP server? And why do the UV line of servers focus on OpenMPI accerators? OpenMPI is never used in SMP workloads, only in HPC.

The only parameter not altered was the v-core on boot in "digi-plus power" control which might have helped but maybe not on this board. HPC vendors are increasingly targeting commercial markets, whereas commercial vendors, such as Oracle, SAP and SAS, are seeing HPC requirements."

You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology. Instruction set extensions The statement you made about having 32TB of RAM is again, partially true. But NONE of the single OS instances EVER have full control of all 32TB at once, which again, by DEFINITION, means that it is NOT truly SMP. (Course, if you ever get a screenshot which shows that, I'd LOVE to see it. I'd LOVE to get corrected on that.)

The nearest equivalent of the Core i7-4960X in the enterprise lineup is the Xeon E5-1660 V2. In terms of my testing at AnandTech, the i7-4960X represents the standard enthusiast processor that blitzes our benchmarks, and thus an opportunity to test something potentially faster is always welcome. System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used. Example --- E5 1680 V2 approx. 1.150_v_core_with_v_rise__(1.130__in__BIOS)__@ 4.2 Ghz --- then slightly higher v_core but not much for 4.3 Ghz --------- but 4.4 Ghz needed too much extra v_core to be worth it and temps rose out of proportion to the increase in performance___so 4.3 was the most I'd do.......The E5-2667 v2 is the same speed at any core loading as the E5-2687W v2, the same cache, the same features, except it is slightly cheaper, uses less power and supports more memory. Sounds like an easy win for the E5-2667 v2. Virtual machine speed-up technologies supported by Xeon E5-2697 v2 and Xeon E5-2695 v2 are enumerated here. VT-d Not exactly. IBM's recent boxes don't boot themselves. Each box has a service processor that initializes the main CPU's and determines if there are any additional boxes connected via external GX links. If it finds external boxes, some negotiation is done to join them into one large coherent system before an attempt to load an OS is made. This is all done in hardware/firmware. Adding/removing these boxes can be done but there are rules to follow to prevent data loss.

Windows is Windows, and it will not magically challenge Unix or OpenVMS, in some iterations later." As pointed out numerous times before, that link is you cite is a decade old. SGI has moved into the SMP space with the Altix UV series. Continuing to use this link as relevant is plain disingenuous and deceptive.Single processor LGA2011 Xeons are under the title of E5-16xx v2. Dual processor system capable Xeons are E5-26xx v2, and quad processor system capable Xeons are E5-46xx v2. As Johan pointed out in his excellent dive into the improvements over the older architecture , these CPUs come from three die flavors: Use Core Temps or similar and switch on........also open CPU=Z and make sure it displays the v_core correctly --- some versions do not.

So my style of OC is for 24/7 on air ----water is too much hassle to be practical 9/10 ths of the time. I'll explain. For some reason early on in the OC I input 1.250_v in BIOS for v-core after a no start at 1.200v. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details. Like I said, most of the numbers that you wrote are true, but the assumptions behind them isn't exactly all entirely true. But that also depends on the specific implementation of the ERP system given that SAP is NOT the ONLY ERP system that's available out there, but it's probably one of the most popular one, if not THE most popular one. (There's a whole thing about distributed relational databases so that the database can reside in smaller chunks across multiple nodes, in-memory, which are then accessed via a high speed interconnect like Myrinet or Infiniband or something along those lines.)The VRM's are hot and the DIMM slots near the I/O panel are HOT!!! - May try a spot fan to cool slightly but they'll still be hot I don't know what board you are on ------but if it is a good Asus board.......with the BIOS......(MSI may do this I don't know).
