2* IBM x3950M2 Quad, 128gb
2* multiple-CPU boxes with heaps of memory (more than 4GB per CPU, and a moderate amount of disk (100 GB sounds good to me).
For example IBM x3950M2 Quad, 128gb
Or alternatively Sun 4600 with lots of CPUs


The project is to build an isolated compute server, where concurrent algorithms can be tested with raw and unrestricted access to the hardware. In a sense, this is the opposite end of a virtual machine server - as convenience is sacrificed to performance.

My initial area of interest is the C++11 concurrency model, locking primitives, and memory model.

Currently the budget is under discussion.
