I believe that this settles the question of who sends the most money on electricity for computer chess.
When I throw the switch, the lights in Seattle dim and the Grand Coulee generators start to overheat.
Using an Infra-Red camera, you can see my house from outer space.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
Rates in my area ramp up with usage and I have once in a while hit their "super overcharge now we're really serious" rate level, whatever they actually call it.
I am planning to get solar panels on the house next year.
I get notices: Your power usage keeps going up. Do you want us to teach you how to use less power?

I have a couple of Supermicro boxes that are 4/8 way Xeons.
1. Yes, you can run Windows.
2. Large memory allocation is transparent and far-side NUMA latency is not significant.
3. Most chess engines doesn't spread threads properly across Processor Groups when you have more than 64 cores, including SF.
4. You will almost always want more cores, <= 1TB memory usage of Xiangqi EGTBs takes about 3 years to build on 4x4669v4 running 24/7.
5. HT gives about 30% overall NPS increase but can cause ELO drop due to poor performance on logical cores.
Can you allocate all 128 cores to 1 task? Mine got here early, but I am going to have to buy a couple of cables at Frys to get it set up
