Table 2.
Server cost and price to performance ratio
| Solution | Cost | Average time | Price to performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8-core CPU | 13750 | 11742.000 | 1.0000 |
| 4-core CPU | 5000 | 17366.000 | 1.8594 |
| 4 core cluster | 2200 | 2389.700 | 30.710 |
| 16 core cluster | 8800 | 666.200 | 27.540 |
| 32 core cluster | 17600 | 332.180 | 27.616 |
| 80 core cluster | 44000 | 129.530 | 28.328 |
| 150 core cluster | 82500 | 69.137 | 28.306 |
| 1 GPU | 970.94 | 193.260 | 860.42 |
| 2 GPU | 1320.93 | 102.250 | 1195.4 |
| 3 GPU | 1670.92 | 72.633 | 1330.3 |
This is a comparison between the different solutions, taking into account their cost and scaled for the price to performance ratio of the 8-core server running Java. The cluster costs derive from a base cost of $4400 for an eight core node.
