Not sure if this may be of use to the maintainers, but a multi-processor
server caught my eye and I immediately thought of them :) The only
sticking point is that there is 8 "computing units" in the thing, rather
than it simply being an 8 CPU, quad-core server. To me that means you
need some sort of virtualisation layer on top to present the computing
units as one logical set of resources to the OS. Still, if it worked,
surely that sort of horse power is useful for creating a build server. I
wonder if we could wangle one for free in exchange for a working CentOS
build?
Most interesting. I've just dropped them a message.
I've also similarly had a chat with Boston about their Viridis servers
(Calxeda based) and we got RS running on those. The only downside is
that the fully loaded machine is about £30K and the minimal
configuration is over £6K. Awesome machine, but hard to stretch to for
an unfunded volunteer project.
