RedHat List: I already have multiple machines running RedHat 6.0 (have not had a reason to upgrade) that are doing massive computational queries and compares. Does anyone have any benchmarks or docs that would show if upgrading to a newer version of RedHat would : improve memory throughput, increase multiple processing, or increase the effectiveness of a cluster of linux machines (beowulf-type). Second question, would be with the new DDR based motherboards that are coming out or out already. AMD, VIA, and Aladdin all have DDR RAM based motherboards out or going to be released soon. Has anyone got RedHat (any version) installed on any or all of these boards, and is anyone seeing a decent performance increase? The programs that I have running are heavy on CPU and RAM, light on disk access, and light on network access. I am looking to increase processing power of the machines with hopefully some system that is around the same cost of the linux cluster and dual-cpu machines I have currently. Linux Cluster: 10 Nodes P3 500 128MB RAM Each IDE HDs 100Mb NICs on the same 3com switch Dual Processor: P3 500 256MB SCSI RAID System 100Mb NICs on a Cisco Switch All running RedHat 6.0 (minimal install, and fully patched). Any comments, suggestions, ideas? Darwin M.
