hello everyone,
i know its a crazy idea but here it goes, so iam thinking of building a cluster of 4 computers to be used as a super computer. which is better do you think ? a cluster of 4 motherboards fit in one case with each motherboard having 32gb of ram - xeon x3690 (overclocked) and graphics hd7970 - OR - a dual socket motherboard with two xeon x3690 and 64gb of ecc ram and a 6gb graphics card ?
my main idea of building such a crazy supercomputer or more like a mainframe, was because i have four socket 1366 motherboards laying around with a total of 128gb ddr3 ram and four hd7970 and the rest of required components ,so all is left is four xeon x3690.
if i had to choose to get a dual socket motherboard i have to buy the motherboard + the 64gb of ecc ram + a 6gb gtx 1060 which will cost 700$
i will be using the four motherboard supercomputer for high intensity scientific research and simulation.
so what do you guys think ?
thank you all
