have you seen this? http://helmer.sfe.se/
its a couple of years old now, and I'd prob do it now something like the 2600. or i guess more of them with a cheaper chip. but that it a good cpu for the price the other option you can go is something like a 4p opteron system with either 32 or 48 cores. if you get the base cpu they work out quite well price/performance. though you would need a fast storage to feed it. and you probably would want to make a bunch of virtual machines out of it. I'm not sure which hugin would prefer but your work load is probably more suited to more low end nodes. here's a list cpu's value/performance http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 12:21 PM, Zachary <[email protected]> wrote: > i think you sent this to the wrong person i just tried to post a question > about hugin that's probably where you got mu email from > > > On 1/12/2012 7:35 PM, Chris Erskine wrote: > > how much ram is it using? > > and have you tried running muiltiple renders on your 6 core amd? > > my first thought is your transfer speed may become a bottleneck. > > my thought would be to get an intel 2600 enough ram to cover 8 jobs at > once and an ssd that good at multitreaded read. > > though it may run faster to disable hyperthreading and just run 4 jobs at > once. > > > On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 3:23 AM, Tim Nugent <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Have a look at Xbox (and maybe PS3 - not sure if these still let you run >> Linux) clusters.
