I am trying to determine how the CPU load may change after an upgrade from
AS8200 to GS160. The current AS8200 runs a fairly CPU intensive
application with the 1 minute load average about 6, spiking to 15 at
times. The 8200 has 4 EV5 CPUs (400 Mhz, I think), the GS160 would have 4
733 MHz EV6 CPUs.
Any formulas or algorithms to calculate the change in load for this type of
upgrade? The concern is that this application may continue to be CPU
intensive even on the new machine, and would then need to be put on a
separate server ( something that would be hard to do once it's on the GS160)
Thanks for any relevant information.
