[Pw_forum] Something about the bandwith of memory

[vega lew]

Dear all,

Intel E5500 seriers CPU has a triple channel to enhance the bandwidth of the
memory. And sometime earlier, Axel told me that the bandwidth of memory is
one of the most important thing for the performance of QE. So we try to make
a contract with the seller of intel server based on XEON Nahelem processors.
But we find the bandwidth of memory is not only depends on the CPU,
chipset and memory module et al., but is also depends on something else. For
example, the server made by HP, and DELL of the same CPU an DDR3 memory
would show different bandwidth performance evaluating by ScienceMark v2.0.
But ScienceMark v2.0 only could be run in Windows. So I wonder is there a
small tool to test the bandwith of memory in Linux?

think you for reading
