VMPs - Virtual Machine Practices
,----[ Quote ]
| Most of the following relates to using XP Pro as host. As
| soon as you feel comfortable using Ubuntu or some other
| Linux as host do it since you will see a performance

ScaleMP certifies on Intel Nehalem iron
,----[ Quote ]
| By comparison, the 1,024-core Altix 4700 Linux super from
| Silicon Graphics could handle an order of magnitude more, at
| 4.1 TB/sec of bandwidth. This machine uses 1.6GHz, dual-core
| Itanium 2 processors. A 64-core Power 595 machine from IBM
| (using the dual-core Power6 processors running at 5GHz) can
| deliver 787 GB/sec, or a little less than twice the vSMP
| setup, while a Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu M9000 server
| with 128 cores (using the quad-core Sparc64-VII processors)
| hits 222 GB/sec. An Integrity Superdome machine from
| Hewlett-Packard, equipped with dual-core Itanium 2 chips and
| a total of 128 cores, delivers 167 GB/sec of bandwidth on
| the Stream test.

The New Windows vs. Linux Debate

| It's entirely probable that in the near future, the heterogeneous
| data center will have a different meaning, referring to both
| hypervisors and operating systems and no specification of which is
| meant will be needed.
