Hello,
comparing two hypothetical systems:
1) A Sun (or Beowolf) cluster with 4 servers / 2 CPU's each, 4 GB each
server vs.
2) A server with 8 processors & 16GB of RAM.
from a users point of view how do these two systems look different. Is there
any advantage of configuration 1 over 2 (or vice versa)? Assuming identical
CPU speeds, etc.
Can anyone point me to a good introduction of the benefits of Sun (or
Beowulf) cluster technology?
Sincerely,
- Henrik
