The latest EMC2 live-cd release on Ubuntu 10,04 Lucid supports SMP. It has been possible to compile EMC2 for SMP for quite some time. (I have an SMP Hardy system in the garage) EMC2 is not very demanding of CPU, what it does demand is low latency. It doesn't matter how fast the code runs, just that it runs exactly when scheduled. The higher-end motherboards seem more likely to feature advanced features that have unfortunate consequences for realtime performance. (though this is supposition on my part) People are reporting very good results with the Atom boards, for example the D510MO. I rather think that anything more than that for a dedicated EMC2 machine is wasting money (unless you need more than one PCI slot, although the specs do say that you can fit a 2-card riser in the single slot) -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
