Hi all,
A small "fun" question for the list,
Intel has recently released a hpc-targetted 1u server, the "intel
SR1560SF" (dual-socket quadcore xeon based, support for 16 sticks of
memory, usual on-board features such as dual-gig-ether, etc etc.)
It officially supports Linux and Windows. I have asked my reseller
about Solaris 10/x86 compatability on this platform; he got an answer
back from intel that it is not officially supported. However, some
google hits suggest that this should work well.
I'm curious if anyone has used this hardware / tested it with
solaris-X86 platform. I have checked a number of HCL resources online
but haven't had any luck finding this equipment (alas too recent I
suspect).
I'm potentially needing to get a few dual-socket quadcore machines for
a small project here, and running solaris may be a requirement. The
fact that this system is so affordable (~<$4k for 8 x 2.6ghz cores and
16gig ram) makes it rather attractive, especially since it is an intel
server from top to bottom, ie, quite a nice feature set.
Many thanks,
Tim Chipman
