We are working on a machine with 2 Opteron 2218s. For laughs, I ran streams on it. Here are 1,2,3,4 processor data.

Mmmm ... these actually seem low considering the bus bandwidth is supposed to be 10.67 GB/sec

Heh.... don't shoot the measurer ... :)

I agree BTW that I expected this to be about 7++ GB/s per socket. This is a pathscale built binary. Will try with PGI and Intel as well.

in the socket F. Using the 75% rule (1 silent read, 2 actual reads, and 1 write) from the triad shouldn't
    we get:

    10.67 * .75 =  ~8 GBs/sec

Possibly... The bandwidth per socket is 10.67 GB/s. So the two thread on one socket should be pretty darned close to that. I am surprised that it wasn't.

Moreover, other folks seem to note what we observed: http://tweakers.net/reviews/646/5 with about 5.3 GB/s BW/core. I think affinity is keeping two threads on the same core, so it might take a little bit of work to get a real 1 thread/socket number.

These are the numbers I would expect here ... about 70% of 2 * 10.67 GBs/sec. I think that your out-"liar" is actually giving you the correct numbers.

Possible.  I was expecting something north of 12 GB/s.
