IBM System x3850 X5 with 8 sockets (64 cores)

Hi all, I wonder if anyone here has experience with or can comment on the expected performance of QlikView running on an IBM System x3850 X5 server with 8 sockets (64 cores), Intel Xeon E7-8830 8C (2.13GHz 24MB L3 105w 8S) processors and 512 GB of memory.

Thanks

Hi Daniel

We have a cluster with this server with L7545 processor, and we had many problems with NUMA that we needed to quit memory card to leave slot empty and coompliance with qlikview´s specification about RAM.

This kind of server is good for other porpouse than qlikview (i.e. virtualization, file server, etc)

Good luck.

You are entering an extremely variable area...!  I would read this thread and any others you can find:

http://community.qlik.com/message/401233#401233

plus contact QlikTech support and ask their server architects for an opinion.

more cores can actually be a hinderence...

Hi Daniel,

Look here for the latest Server Whitlelist http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-2942  it mentions the IBM x3850 X5 and that you should check this post http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-2362

Thanks Guys, I'm aware of those documents, I was looking for someone who might have experience with that particular configuration or with 8 sockets servers to see how much of a performance killer are them.

Have a look at this post that I read this morning Tips: QlikView Server hardware recommendations. I agree with its sentiment regarding ensuring sufficient RAM being paramount.

"Performance" is always a slippery blighter to quantify before the event.

Can you quantify how much load you are going to place on the server ?
