699116 - Hardware for qemu continuous testing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: Servicedesk, task)

Description

[Brandon Sterne (:bsterne)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #651244 +++

We need another box with the same specs as the one we ordered in bug 651244 to run a bunch of parallel instances of qemu to do ARM fuzzing.

In case this box hasn't been ordered yet: The other machine has Intel i7 CPUs, it might be worth checking if we should equip the new box with Intel E3 CPUs if the price is not that much higher, as these CPUs should be much faster.

Here is the configuration of the updated Dell Precision T1600:
Quad Core Xeon E3-1280, 3.50 GHz, 8M L3, 0GT, Turbo	
16GB, 1333MHz, DDR3 SDRAM, ECC (4 DIMMS)	
1.0GB NVIDIA® Quadro® 600, Dual MON, 1 DP & 1 DVI	
C1 2.5 inch SATA or SSD, No RAID for 1 Hard Drive	
256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive	
16X DVD+/-RW SATA, Roxio Creator™ CyberlinkPowerDVD™, No Media	
No Monitor	
No Media Card Reader	

Will this be sufficient?

Is that a single quad core CPU? The reference machine has dual quad core, we need at least 8 cores. If that makes it much more expensive compared to the other machine, let me know the prices and I'll confirm what we should buy here.

A solid state drive isn't required and probably makes this a lot more expensive. Feel free to use a regular disk here.

I'm sorry but I did not give ack on this, why has this been ordered now? I have been asking a question regarding the configuration above and expected an answer before any ordering happens.

Brandon,
The Dell desktop came in. Where do you sit? I can drop it off at your desk.

Correction:  The Dell dual six-core has not come in yet.  My mistake.
