You can narrow things down for instance you could start with warranty and
support. Location is a factor too. You want every kind of stability, reliable
power, cold water and to be near your suppliers, factoring in airports or
interstate highways.

I'm not sure if Power or ARM (yet) qualify for a general HPC workload
that Doug mentions; sadly a lot of the commercial codes are only
available for x86-64 these days. MATLAB
What do your apps need?
• Lots of memory?
Perhaps Power9 or Naples with 8 memory channels? Also, Cavium ThunderX2.
• More memory bandwidth?
Same as above.
• Max single thread performance?
Intel or Power9?
• Are your apps GPU enabled? If not, do you have budget/time/expertise to
do the work?

Over the last several months I have been reading about:
1) Spectre/meltdown
2) Intel Fab issues
3) Supermicro MB issues
I started thinking, if I were going to specify a
single rack cluster, what would I use?
I'm assuming a general HPC workload (not deep learning or
analytics) I need to
