Good morning, I ask for information about hardware for UEMS implementation. I'm willing to buy:
WORKSTATION HP Z600
DUAL INTEL XEON SIX CORE X5650 2,66 GHz
16 GB DDR3
500 GB
I have read that for some cpu there are problems to run UEMS, this configuration may be fine or it is not compatible with UEMS implementation.
Thank you
Alessio

Re: Workstation HP z600
It is Westmere architecture without AVX. I'm not sure if UEMS executable builds still support those. If nobody knows here, I would advice to ask Robert Rozumalski, bacause I suspect there is big chance they do not. However I also would advise purchasing something newer (=faster). This server will draw too much energy and be very inefficient in running WRF for such cost.
Re: Workstation HP z600
Ok, looking at something new, an I7 8700 with 16 GB ram ddr4 2666 could be better?
Can you recommend me another CPU? Ryzen 7 2700?

Consequently an 8th generation I7 gives me both energy savings and performance.
That said I will buy the7 8700 or 8700k to run UEMS considering the quality ratio
price.
Ubuntu 18.04 will be the next to be installed as soon as the components arrive.
