谁能说说如果你有一台40-core/80-thread,2T DDR3的server,你能用它来干啥?(光4个cpu的就10万多人民币了。。)。还有,我倒想着如果技术上有可能,用ARM11MPCore,在价格一样的情况下,上百个ARM能否拼得过40个IntelE7,这才叫多核大战嘛,哈哈。
顺便问个小白问题,X86/power ppc和做防火墙里的Cavium 的CPU有什么最大的差别?我理解如果是做一般的模式匹配,比如说过滤某个端口,cavium会比较好
但如果要做协议处理呢?比如说要处理一个完整的sgsn-ggsn的信令流程,或者要对这个信令状态进行跟踪,cavium可以吗?有没有性能上的优势?
它能不能像ppc那样做一个通信处理器?(我感觉cavium集成了很多安全处理方面的算法,不知道这是不是它作为防火墙cpu的主要原因?)
