We have a 5120 cpu system: 128 blades, 2 sockets per blade, 10 cores per socket,
2 HyperThreads per core. That system has 8 TB memory.
We have another with 4096 cpus: 128 blades, 2 sockets per blade, 8 cores per
socket, 2 HyperThreads per core. That system has 16 TB memory.
Many smaller ones in the 512-1024 cpu range.
FWIW, RHEL6 is CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4096
And you are currently running Fedora on those systems?
