=====Intel Software Development Kit===== ===Hardware=== * The Intel Software Development Kit consists of a 4U rack server chassis with the new Intel Xeon E7-4860 CPU running @ 2.27GHz. The each of the E7-4860 CPUs have 10 physical cores and with Intel Hyperthreading 20 hardware threads presented to the OS making the machine an effective 80 core machine. * Each CPU has 4 x 4GB RAM running at 1067 MHz, therefore the machine has a total of 64GB RAM and could support up to 1TB (half of the RAM daughter-card sockets are unpopulated, each daughter-card is half populated and each RAM module could be four times more dense (2GB DIMMs replaced with 8GB DIMMs)) * The Intel Software Development Kit has dual, mirror raided, 291GB 7200rpm hard disk drives * Networking consists of 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports ===Software=== * Currently only CentOS 5.6 is installed * Future plan to add the Intel Compiler Suite * Future plan to add Intel Parallel Studio * Future plan to re-install Windows HPC for benchmark comparisons ====Benchmarks==== * [[Linpack]] * [[Intel LinPack]] * [[FFTW]]
