<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What will you be doing with PETSc? It has lots of options and<br>capability. What<br>type of problems will you be solving?</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to solve some CFD problems using PETSc.</div><br>

<br>inexpensive IB SDR NICs. When you go above 8 ports you have to either<br>switch to a large switch or start looking at using several tiers of<br>small switches<br>(the guys at <a href="http://aggregate.org">aggregate.org
</a> can help there).</blockquote>

<div>Yes I can drop to 8 systems. So please tell me about that.</div>

<div>My basic question was that whether C2D E6600 nodes will be better than a Quadcore which would be somehow nearer in price?</div>
