Hi, guys :

I have a machine which consists of four Opteron(tm) Processor 6168. Each processor has 12 cores ,and two dies. Does anyone know how many communication latency levels between two cores on this machine ? (off-die or on-die ) Or may be anyone can tell me how to obtain the information of interconnection between each pair of cores on this machine


Thanks a lot,


Jeff

If you understand, I can say that your system is a 1Hop NUMA setup where any CPU only has to do 1 call to any other CPU. If you had the 6 core models, you could do 1 Hop across 8 sockets as the current HyperTransport only allows 8 Nodes and the MCM 12 cores are two nodes for each socket.

I do't know the latency for x-CPU calls but it's pretty good.
