i like to set up a Desktop PC based on the AMD FX-8120 using IOMMU for the direct use of my Graphics Card (HD 7870) within the guest system in a VM (VGA Passthorugh) using Linux as host OS.
Because I can't find any definite information on the IOMMU compatiblity of my preferred mainboard (Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3) I thought of asking you.

If you don't know too, can you advice me a mainboard having the specs like the one I chose supporting IOMMU?
Is there a global rule what models/chipsets support IOMMU? (read of 970 and 990 chipsets having support)
Is IOMMU support directly connected to the ability to setup IOMMU in BIOS?

Do I have to be aware of the GPU being compatible with IOMMU, too?

Thank you very much!

We need to choose hardware platform for our network processing appliance (common 1-2U server, not an embedded device). Currently we're going to use only base hardware, without specific hardware like NPU or FPGA. I have experience with Bivio 7000 platform - high performance platform for network processing, which is very close to what we're looking for. Bivio in its solutions uses Freescale MPC7448 processors for application processing units (on which a user can run his or her custom applications like IDS, HTTP proxy etc).

I had a look at MPC7448 specification: 2 32bit cores, 1.6Ghz, 32KB L1i and L1d, 1MB L2, 32 general purpose registers and emphasize on superscalar abilities (4 (3 + branch) instructions per clock). The CPU costs about $250. From other side, for example, AMD Opteron 4280 costs about the same ($255), but has 8 64bit cores, 2.8Ghz, 48KB L1i and L1d, 1MB L2 per core, 8MB shared L3, 16 general purpose registers.

So why it has sense to use PowerPC processor instead of x86-46 for high performance network processing? From my point of view 4 times bigger number of cores and significantly larger caches must beat double number of registers and maybe better instruction level parallelism (however x86-64 is also superscalar processor). However it seems AMD Opteron consumes much more power. Is it the reason?

The typical workload for our application is memory intensive operations which requires gigabytes of RAM with large work sets (i.e. we have relatively low cache hit).

Many thanks in advance.]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=15&threadid=159489 2012-04-26T18:34:42 -05.00 mdoerner1 3
The short answer here: The FirePro installation software DOES NOT WORK on windows 7 64-bit. I had to do it manually, and I'm not certain I got everything on that I should.

Here's the long answer....

I got tired of my Nvidia 9600 GSO card an needed a Workstation card that was reasonable priced. I got a V5800 FirePro card from Newegg. Initially I just pulled the old card, installed the new card and tried to install the new drives. No dice. I re-installed the NV 9600 GSO the uninstalled the drivers (like the directions said I should) and then installed the new V5800 card.

The new drivers I used with the AutoDetect utility downloaded fine, began to install, then after the Install/Uninstall screen, there was no follow up screen asking to Express/Custom install....eventually things just kinda petered out and stopped altogether.

So just for grin I yanked the card out again and used the onboard Radeon 3300 on my motherboard and tried to see if that would install. That installation went flawlessly. So I went back to the V5800.

Upon reboot the driver said it didn't like the card....GREAT! (Not sarcastic, I mean actually joyous.... ) At least the Radeon driver wasn't working when the FirePro driver should have been.

So I try to install the FirePro drivers again (8.911.3.3 the current version) chokes after the Install/Uninstall screen before it. So I try the previous versions....THEY ALL CHOKE AT THE SAME POINT.

So in desperation...I go to the command line and "SETUP.EXE -INSTALL" and it SEEMS to be installing....but it never ends....so I reboot.

Finally, I look to try to install just the video driver. Someone mentioned if you go to the \PACKAGES\DRIVERS\DISPLAY\W76A_INF directory that you can install the driver. I double clicked on the 1st EXE in the directory, it began to install the VISTA drivers, then a prompt came up politely asking if I wanted to run CADALYST. YEP! Sure enough, I could get the driver to install. Since then I have individually install the control center, hydravision, etc.

PLEASE FIX THE BLOODY AUTOMATED INSTALLATION PROGRAM SO I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS IN THE FUTURE PLEASE!!!!!!

Now I do have one problem with the control center. When I start it, it does not recognize my video card, so I can't adjust my video settings within the Control Center. Everything else seems to be working.

Other than that, I like the video card (so far)....

I'm looking for recommendations on a dual CPU mobo for the following applications:

a) (Primarily a) Storage server - Running either Centos 6 or OpenFiler
Primarily NFS, Samba and iSCSI

b) A few virtual machines

Hopefully I can use the same motherboard, pin the IO stuff to one CPU, and the virtualization to the other.

I am not planning on running many VM's on that CPU, but just a few crucial ones that would benefit from fast IO (Database) and administration.

My plan is to get the mobo, and one C32 CPU (probably a 4180), and test it out, then swap in two Bulldozer CPU's when they become available.

I already have a big rackmount 4U 16 drive case, that will fit EATX and EEB mobo's.

Features I'd like to have:
IPMI, dual GB, and a number of PCIe slots(one or two of which will have a LSi 9261-8i in it), and might add an iSCSI specific server NIC.

I am looking at the ASUS KCMA-D8, and Tyan S8225A and Tyan S8226.

Anyone have any recommendations or options?

Any references to Bulldozer compatibility?

August 3, 2010 - PCI Express 3.0: On Motherboards By This Time Next Year?
http://www.tomshardware.com/re...3.0-pci-sig,2695.html

I already know Intel has their pcie gen 3 mobos out but, Sandy Bridge doesn't support pcie 3. I'm only interested in AMD anyway.

I notice the new AMD/Radeon 7000 series GPU's support pcie 3.0, which is awesome!

AMD Radeon HD 7000 GPU Series to Feature PCI Express 3.0 Support
http://news.softpedia.com/news...-Support-212023.shtml

So, where are the PCIe 3 motherboards? When will they be available? I assume that the PCIe 3.0 capable mobos will be "10xx" after the "9xx" ???

However, my understanding is that the 1st run of Bulldozer will *NOT* support PCIe 3. The 2nd run might though in 2012. I have no interest in Bulldozer at all until it supports PCIe 3.0.

In order to receive true PCIe 3.0 full support everything must be PCIe 3.0, from Mobo, CPU, Chipsets and GPU. Otherwise, it's only as good as the weakest link in that chain.

I hope that the new AMD PCIe 3 mobos will be true pcie 3 or they'll be called out for it. Here's MSI reeeeeeming Gigabyte a new one:

I made this choice looking around in different forums / reviews..

I am also looking at adding another 2 Hard Disks, 2 osprey TV Tuner cards and a max of 8 GB RAM in the future ..

Total cost comes out to be 665$ ( 165 + 112 + 228 + 160)
Being I am strapped for cash, I am looking at good value for money

I also need help on the choice of power supply. Do I need to buy a special processor cooling kit since the machine is bound to be running at full capacity all the time. Can someone please suggest a good cooling kit ?

Actually.. when I first started thinking about this .. i7 was on my mind .. doing some basic research .. realized that Phenom was the way to go ]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=15&threadid=138147 2010-08-16T15:41:30 -05.00 hyperion007 5

I'm planning to build myself a little server for my new 19" rack
(with 8-16 drives, one 6-core CPU and 16+GB of ECC DDR3 RAM in a
Chenbro RM41416B chassis)
Since I'm not much at home, I need a possibility to administrate
the box remotely in a reliable way.

Therefore I need a 890FX board that has IPMI/KVM capabilities.

Before everybody starts screaming: Use a server board!
Yes, I would, if they'd offer the same features.

Beeing crazy as I am I of course also would like SATA6G (not in SR5690/SP5100)
and USB3.0 supported.....

Except for the missing IPMI/KVM features the Asus Crosshair IV Formula board
has been my favorite so far.

I'd appreciate any input. :-)

Cheers

I dont really want to have to buy those internal sata/raid cards but if so, know of any good ones? that arent overly expensive?

Just FYI I reside in Australia (unsure about you guys).]]>
