Description

At INFN-T1 we are facing the problem of TCO of computing nodes, which count for the bigger part of our electricity bill. Intel recently introduced the Avoton SOC, targeted on the microserver, entry communication infrastructure and cloud storage market. We benchmarked this CPU and evaluated the possible adoption of this technology in our computing farm.
