I was responding to the assertion that a 10 Celeron cluster was somehow better than one top of the line 500MHz Xeon with 2MB of L2 ... clusters aren't SMP, they are tightly coupled distributed processing. Each is optimized for extremely different work loads, that the other will basically fall on it's face with. There is absolutely no way to compare what is right or fast without agreeing what the reference application is. Hence, apples and oranges. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.
