#-way servers

Posted by Bloggylife in technology on November 26, 2007

We are having this new servers installed. And I kept hearing 2-way and 4-way servers. I automatically assumed they were talking about the processor type 2 being Dual-Core and 4 being Quad-Core. WRONG.

2-way servers having two processors regardless of the type. Of course that depends on the motherboard and what it can support and its upgrade limitations. 4-way servers have four processors. That was interesting.

One point was intriguing me and I asked the technician. First of all Dual-processors can process two threads simultaneously and Quad-processors can process four. This is very useful for high performance applications, high resolution videos and especially games where you have multiple processes running and being executed at the same time. What I wanted to know was if I had 2-way server with Quad-Core installed vs 4-way server with Dual-Core installed will they perhaps have the same performance?

He said yes. But I didn’t take it 100% because I sensed he wanted to get rid of me ;P Honestly, I partly take blame I was hovering and annoying him with all my questions.

From my Googling around. It really depends how the processors communicate and share resources. That all depends on the manufacturer’s design. There are different testing and results from the two major manufactures Intel and AMD. I won’t list my findings but it is really interesting if one wants to snoop around.

Please bear in mind that whatever you read is subjected to being unintentionally wrong because they are my understandings so if I am wrong feel free to correct me.

Girls FUN night out

ONE

NOOOO WAIT

TWO

NOOOOOOOOOO

THREE, damn I didn’t pull hard enough. GO. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I closed my eyes for a second and then opened to see how fast we were going. How can this be anything but spectacular, refreshing, fun and so lively?

The best fun time I had in soooo long, I haven’t felt this young and alive. We girls went to Sha’ab. I was dying to have a go at this jump game I dunno what they call it, bungee jumping perhaps. I tried convincing my sister but she didn’t want to. So Maha decided to have a go and then Rania surprisingly decided to join us too. I think because she was hungry and her senses didn’t work well ;P she screamed her lungs off: waaayyyyyy, my eyes are bleeding!!!. I’m like: woman, you come up with the funniest comments when you’re scared. seriously how can someone articulate such phrase in that state of mind *I’m still laughing*

6ab3an me, you can’t depend on me for any comfort when I’m having sooo much FUN, hehehehe. I was laughing and enjoying myself ;P

Rania was saying, I changed my mind I want to go down

Me thinking: well it’s a little bit too late for that
But actually saying: close your eyes. You won’t feel a thing. Khalas, it’s not that high aslan.

Don’t know what Maha was saying because all I can hear was Rania’s screaming. But eventually Rania cooled down and I could hear that Maha was enjoying the ride :D

When I pulled that string, I wanted to do it AGAIN. I can see my sister from high above and I was waving to her. She was filming us, but we were too far away so the video wasn’t clear enough.

Next time I’m taking my sister with me. She needs to experience this :D

I couldn’t sleep that night from all the excitement. My legs were twitching on their own!!!

We tried most of the games there, even the slides. Nothing matches a good girls night out, having FUN and then eating a delicious dinner at Johnny Carino’s :D
