During downtime on Wednesday, August 25, 2010, new hardware was deployed on a dedicated node for Jita and is being used to test the impact of a new processor specification and low latency memory. We encourage players to show up and give us feedback on performance.

Don't skimp on the details! Exact model numbers and all the nitty-gritty details, plus comparisons to the rest of the cluster! :D
I'm not much of a Jita person; given this is for the location node, that means inventory movements (thus trading) should be faster/more prompt, and in-space activity likewise, yes? -- Ix Forres - 3rd Party Application Developer - EVE Metrics - accVIEW

Im wondering why is it only 1 quad core cpu and not 2 ? also why are you using a 10k rpm sas drive when these days most are using 15k rpm drives ? both of these would improve things alot more than just 1 cpu and an older slower drive
I used to be an engineer in a computer consulting firm in NYC and often I found that many companys understestimated what they needed for hardware and did not leave much for reserves and had issues with performance due to lack of hardware to handle larger than planed loads or future expansions ect. but 2cpus are better than 1 heck 4 for some apps that need this sorta of thing also the OS if its 32 bit ,64 bit makes a diffrence in performance VS 32
Okay... the spec:
IBM HS22 1 x Xeon 4C X5667 95W 3.06GHz/1333MHz/12MB 6 x 8GB PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 1333MHz VLP RDIMM 146 GB 2.5in Slim-HS 10K 6GB SAS HDD
Just my 2 cents

Originally by: CCP Yokai Edited by: CCP Yokai on 25/08/2010 16:20:27 This server is for benchmarking new chipset, Cache and RAM on Tranquility and is not the final or completed spec we have planned. Consider this the Control Group for our testing.
Also, while we are doing tests on Jita, we are also going to be profiling fleet fights and all kinds of other node/service types on the cluster.
Once we get a good load metric on none type we'll be moving the server to test other things.
Thanks in advance for helping get the load we need to see the performance impacts.

The disk won't be doing anything, I imagine - only holding the base OS, maybe runtime executables. All DB work is on the central DB server. The servers are (all?) 64-bit OSes, multiple CPUs only makes sense if there's enough room on the box in terms of RAM throughput, latency, network capacity, etc for enough nodes to justify multiple CPUs. Rest of the time performance-wise you're better off with multiple machines. -- Ix Forres - 3rd Party Application Developer - EVE Metrics - accVIEW

AFAIK, they're only able to put a node on one core (multiple nodes fit on one core, but a single node won't fit on multiple cores) and as they're trying to test the Jita location node, they'll be looking at the performance of a single core. Of course, they may shunt other Jita nodes for other bits of the work onto the other cores, but this isn't a case where more cores = more performance.

Yup - that's what I was getting at. More cores may actually = less performance if you start bottlenecking RAM and network resources. -- Ix Forres - 3rd Party Application Developer - EVE Metrics - accVIEW

Go back to the test server forums and troll there.
All this can be applied to nullsec and hopefuly will increase the amount of players that can be online and playing at once before the node croaks. Especially if ccp increases the total amount of servers that are seeded in nullsec.
