Hardware / Re: perfomance on not fresh workstation CPU
« on: 2015-03-31, 17:56:29 »
Thanks in advance,
Year ago or a bit more I reed about the Xeon-Phi acceleration units, so I do not remember details.
I'm do not know does any kind of windows support it at all. If yes, in future Corona will support such hardware?
If yes, then no PC is enough is some basic APU and motherboard with 4 PCI E x 16 slots.
On some online shopes it Xeon Phi could be found - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-BC31S1P-Xeon-31S1P-Coprocessor/dp/B00OMCB4JI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427816923&sr=1-1&keywords=Xeon+Phi
57 cores(they are not classic x86 cores) with 1.1 Ghz is interesting thing:) on board memory is 8 Gb... could be more for a more money.
this thing is interesting, because of scaling with adding just one card you at at least 57 cores.

Hello,
Thanks for reply and going deep in analysis what is best choice.
I can get the Xeon W5580 for 25 Euro per one CPU, I also can get the board for ~ 100 and 16 Gb per 100 euro. If I will find board which support desktop DDR3 memory then it will be free of charge for me I already have it. all the rest things i have.
so it could cost me for a 150 - 250 Euro.
I just thinking from one point - performance per Euro...
on other hand, thing which is stopping me from start to build such machine is life cycle of components... simple mortal users use they PC not in 24/7 way, but components like Xeon and boards for them commonly used in 24/7, so it could cause me a problem, that they already worn out.
From other side with price of one system with based on new I7 which is not cheap, I can build a 2-3 machines and use them in merge rendering:)
And it's easy start at beginning only with one machine and then go for more if needed.
Hard to make a choice.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hardware / perfomance on not fresh workstation CPU
« on: 2015-03-31, 01:17:49 »
Hello All,
I would like to know will corona and 3ds max work with system like this:
2 x Intel Xeon W3520 2.667 Ghz clocked to 4 Ghz
motherboard ASUS Z8PH-D12/IFB
2x 8 Gb DDR3 RDIM 1600Mhz
AMD HD 6970
SSD 256 Gb
I can see at ASUS site motherboard support win7 64 bit. so looks like both CPU will work summary it will give 8 cores in 16 treads with 4 Ghz clocked. Maybe with time I'll add more RAM. up to 32
if this will work, what performance I can expect from this machine?
Will it be faster then one Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition
Thank you in advance,
Andrew.
