Re: That would melt a normal PC
PC3200 DDR has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 3.2GBytes/second when it is 64bit. It's 6.4 when it's 128bit. You can get a MP machine that has multiple DDR controllers with it such as the Opteron. One controller per processor. A 2P machine will do 12.8GB/s, a 4P will do 25.6GB/s and an 8P will do 51.2GB/s.

said by Maggs  :The sheer speed would burn out the HD of a normal PC. Only way to get that is to RAID some drives, and spread the load. That's almost 10x 100 Mbps for 1 Gb It said gigaBITS, so it's really 101 / 8 = 12.625 GigaBytes per second. Still fast, that's an entire double sided DVD in under a second. |

in order to do thise they are using solid state drives in a raid formation. Same stuff needed for the big SMP setups these days. |

Worse.
Memories aren't that fast.
If i'm not wrong our current MAX transfer on memories is around 6 and some gigabytes per second (48gbps)...
So even the memory can't receive that much that fast.
I wonder how they test it. |
