Dear All,
We are about to buy PGI as a general compilator for a 4 dual-opteron
system and AMBER/Gaussian/etc... With this type of machine the maximum
number of cores is eight.
On the PGI web site, it is written:
"PGI Workstation
PGI Workstation-class compilers and tools are for 64-bit x64 and
32-bit x86 and processor-based workstations or servers with up to
eight sockets running 32-bit or 64-bit Linux or Windows operating
systems"
My understanding is that 'PGI Workstation' is enough for a 4
dual-opteron system. However, our french reseller told us we have to
take 'PGI Server' version.
Could you please confirm which PGI version is best to be able (i) to
run 8 independant jobs in same time, but also (ii) a single job in
parallel using the eight cores.
Thanks, regards, Francois
