Making The Most Of Multicore

Originally Aired: September 17, 2008

Speakers:
David Korf, HP Marketing for Scalable Computing Infrastructure, HP
Jim Prelack, Worldwide Channel Marketing Manager, Intel

Description:

Today’s multi-core processors promise to deliver significant performance benefits to the enterprise. As the number of cores per processor increase, application performance is limited by the processor’s memory bandwidth. Within large clusters running many jobs, the Operating System (OS) at times places too many jobs on the same core resulting in memory bandwidth over-subscription.
