| ICStats said: I'm talking about a unit of processing. One Xeon core hour = a unit of compute. How it's divided doesn't matter in this argument. Could be 1 hour on 1 server, or 1 minute on 60 servers. They can't use as many as they feel like, only as many as they have. This is something you keep ignoring. When you have 1 million beans and 10 million users, you can't give 10 beans to each user. Even if Orleans technology could give 10 beans per user, you have only 0.1 beans to give. |
The rumours I have seen suggest that Azure is using Bulldozer/Vishira based Opteron's operating at around 1.6-1.9ghz because the performance is pretty horrible in lightly threaded tasks.
If you have information on the contrary, I would be interested. :)
