Upgrade odin memory to match ysera? #1105

Open Firefishy opened 1 week ago

Firefishy commented 1 week ago

ysera and odin are twins.

We recently upgraded ysera from 256GB to 384GB of RAM.

Do we also want to upgrade odin from 256GB to 384GB of RAM?

Cost: £260 inc Remote hands is an extra fee, else upgrade can be timed with the next site visit.

When both machines are at 100% ysera is consistently generating 5% more tiles. This is under 1 metatile per second.

A "new" odin or ysera would cost 2200 GBP, so 12% of the cost of an identical server for 5% of the performance gain.

We wouldn't buy another odin/ysera, we'd buy something newer, and the cost effectiveness of the upgrade is even worse in comparison to that.

I don't think we should do this.
