We received an inquiry from us that we are considering a machine with 64 cores CPU, 256GB memory, and 8TB HDD for computing servers.
We also consulted on which is better in cost performance between a 4 CPU machine and 2 CPU machines, but regarding this, when looking only at the PC main body, 2 CPUs are better in cost performance. However, it depends on the construction cost of operating two machines in a cluster and the operation method such as how to communicate between nodes (we will propose the most suitable one upon consultation).
This time, I proposed it on a 4 CPU machine.
As a quote for the platform, we have 7 CPU physical 16 cores equipped with 4 Xeon E4 (64 cores). The memory is 256GB, and the HDD is divided into system (1TB) and data (8TB). The OS is Scientific Linux, which you have specified.
