One perk to my addiction to mining is having some pretty powerful systems that come into my possession. This has been slaving away in the mines for abit and figured I'd have some fun putting it through some tests and such before returning it to the hard life of mining.
We'll start off with what most people would love their Windows System screen to show.
(not actually 5 processors thats just how it show itself to the os)
For a little showing off... passmark (these things HATE windows and passmark was one of the few benchmarks that works) I would love to see what that 4p system pulls on passmark fastgeek or better yet put that thing on linux where these phis actually thrive (they are normally 3-5x faster on linux then windows)
And, since people like seeing bits and pieces, here are a few shots of the silicon and metal guts of this box.
thats 4x of the nodes you see above, i belive this is just about the most powerful 2u out there sporting nearly 1088 logical processors and it only sips 1000w total for the whole chassis under full load. it would be cool if all nodes could be ran under one os but a standerd os would have a difficult time running 1088 threads. heck I had to disable tile to make these work under windows as windows wouldn't boot with more then 248 threads.
no dimms needed
And of course a shot of pegged task manager... just for giggles.
Hope you enjoyed!
