Hi,
I work for a group that primarily uses our servers for statistical
analysis. We mostly use SAS, Stata, Matlab, et al.

We're trying to plan for upgrades to our existing older servers
(v880s, 440s) and I am wondering if anyone out there has any
experience with the T2000 series as replacements for systems that pull
this kind of duty.

If so, how does the T2000 compare in performance?


We have a T1000 which is used as a database server and a web server. For
these purposes, it works well. For your work, involving floating point
calculations, the T1000/T2000 is a poor choice, and your V880 will do
better.

I have run MATLAB on our T1000, but it was just awful. It goes much better on
my 2x750 MHz 280R.

It is possible that the new cool threads machines would do better, as they
have more than just the single floating point processor that the T1000
suffers from.

Try and Buy is your friend. Pick a couple of likely machines and give them
a go. Setting up SAS, Stata, Matlab, et al is not too hard, so it
shouldn't take much effort to do some proper testing.
