IntelQuadEval

Background

Evaluating a dual Quad Intel 1U server from Koi Computers May 27, 2008.

• Intel 1U Dual Intel Xeon E5440 2.83GHz 12M 1333MHz
• Motherboard specs: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=9&l2=40&l3=115&l4=0&model=2185&modelmenu=2
• OS installation and setup is here (internal). Running Scientific Linux 4.5 with latest updates and compat libraries.

Run the benchmark

Using Alessandro's benchmarking program swmgr based on Z --> ee events from release 12.0.6.

• setup pacman
• cd /scratch/rwg/
• /home/rwg/swmgr/swmgr.sh --test 12.0.6 -p /osg/app/atlas_app/atlas_rel/12.0.6 -o -P AtlasProduction -T release -t _i686_slc3_gcc323 -O opt -m 3.21 --kv-cache http://atlas-computing.web.cern.ch/atlas-computing/links/prodSysDirectory/cache --no-tag --kvpost > /home/rwg/swmgr/bench-1c.log &
