Compute Server Level Considerations

At the hardware level, you should make a decision on the number of DCUs that would be in each compute server and the number of CMUs that would be in each DCU based on whether you would want future expandability at the DCU or the CMU level.

For example, assume you wanted 8 CMPs worth of CPU resources, where each CMU contains two CMPs. The following table explains the different ways that would allow you to get that amount of CPU resources in a compute server and how each decision would affect future expandability in some way.

No. of DCUs in Compute Server
No. of CMUs in DCUs
Notes
4
2 (half-populated)
  • Allows for future expansion of CMUs in the DCUs
  • Cannot expand on the number of DCUs in each compute server

2
4 (fully-populated)
  • Allows for future expansion of DCUs in each compute server
  • Cannot expand on the number of CMUs in each DCU
