Abstract
Multi-core processors represent an evolutionary change in conventional computing as well setting the new trend for high performance computing. The chip-level multiprocessing architectures with a large number of cores continue to offer dramatically increased performance and power savings characteristics. Energy efficiency and scalability in performance have become more important to many enterprises and play important role in a cluster environment as well. This paper will describe how much we may expect from the cluster systems in terms of performance and power saving if we based the installation on the servers which are founded on the Intel Xeon Quad-Core and Intel Xeon Dual-Core processors family.
