Not neccessarily. It really depends on many many things. How well does the OS kernel+NIC driver scale, how good do they work in balancing among all CPUs+cores.
I do not know the inner workings of bind, but depending on the algorithmic problems, distributed/parallel processing can even degrade performance, sometimes the gain in distribution is not as good as expected due to communication overhead etc. . So the assumption that 8@1.6>>4@2.33 can not be safely made. Especially in a single application scenario (A pure name server). Maybe some bind developer can shed a light on this: Does bind use epoll()? AIO (as in Posix RT extensions) As stated by others, use the same machine for all 3 scenarios (OS/Apps): 32/32 64/32 64/64 Regards -Sven On Wed, June 29, 2011 15:33, iharrathi....@orange-ftgroup.com wrote: > on server1(64 bit) i have 2 Intel E5310 quad-core 1.6Ghz and on server2(32 > bit) i have 2 Intel Xeon dual-core 2.33Ghz. > means 8*1.6 Ghz on server1 and 4*2.33 on server2. > > 8*1.6 is better and faster than 4*2.33, no? > > Regards > Issam Harrathi. > > > >> The 64 bit server(server1) is faster than the 32 bit server (server2). > > Really?
