Hello,

we have a workstation cluster with 30 computers. Each computer has two
dual core processors (Intel Xeon DP 5150). So we have 4*30 = 120 Processors.

Can we declare each processor as a node?
(I know, we can do this in the host file for lamboot)
Are there any know problems?

The 4 processors (now nodes) at one computer have to share the main
memory. There could be package collisions or latency ?

Is there any literature concerning this problem?

Best regards
Markus
