Re: How fast is a server to a Desktop

It depends...
Say they are 8 Core/ 16 Core??? What is the Max cores Modern Server
has.
Lots, no lots and lots. Actually even more than that, lots and lots and lots.
Personally the most processors I've had access to in a single machine is 128.
But given that those processors were rather aged (by modern terms) MIPSIII
running in the region of 200MHz, your system might run your code faster unless
you are an expert at parallel programming.
And How much fast they are than my Single Core Machine.
The processors? Probably slower on an individual basis.
I need this information because currently I run my code on a Client
Machine. I want to know how fast It will become if I put the code on
Servver which uses Threads for Multi Tasking and Just outputs the
results from the Server.
Will it be 10-20 Times faster than Ordinary Client Machines?
Well, that all depends. It depends on:
a) the number of processors
b) the speed of those processors
c) how many of those processors your code is able to utilize simultaneously
d) the OS, and whether it is able to schedule the threads in your code across
the available processors/cores.
e) how many other processes are running on the server, competing with your code.
f) how long the piece of string is you are currently measuring.
