Number of processor's

[reaper]

Can someone smarter then I tell me what the max number of processor's Ultimate Ubuntu Linux can handle?
Also the max amount of ram.
Working on building a monster and can not find this info anywhere.

Thanks Guys.........

I know TheeMann runs a 6 core with 12 GB of ram...

If it is a 32 bit operating system it will only be able to address 4GB.

This is because the maximum a 32 bit unsigned integer can hold is 4,294,967,295. I
just did the maths on what a 64 bit integer can hold and it is 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

I think 64 bit operating systems will be able to handle our memory requirements for a while

1.Intel x86:
Maximum CPUs: 32 (including logical CPUs)
Maximum memory: 64GB
Maximum filesize: 8TB
Maximum filesystem size (ext3) 16TB
Maximum per-process virtual address space: 4GB

2.AMD64/EM64T:
Maximum CPUs: 64
Maximum memory: 128GB
Maximum filesize: 8TB
Maximum filesystem size (ext3): 16TB
Maximum per-process virtual address space: N/A

These are standard max limitations whereas Linux cluster systems can scale up to 1024 CPU's..

And Maximum number of processes Linux 2.6 kernel can handle is:
Maximum number of threads: 32000
Maximum number of threaded processes: 32000
Maximum number of processes: 32000

So the motherboard I am looking at has 4 sockets that will run an AMD 12 core and have 512 gig ram should be no problem then?
And from what I can find out about it it can have as many as 12-16 drives hooked up to it.
I am only planing to have 6 drives as the price keeps going up on them.

Anyway thank for the info.
I thought Ubuntu could handle it but wanted to be sure before spending all that money on it.

Thanks guys.......
