BUSERROR
Buserror is an HP Proliant DL835 G7 machine intended mainly for code development and test-bed for tuning our applications for multi-core systems. In this respect it acts as a mid-term replacement for our aging Coredump system. The role of Coredump as symmetric multi-processing (SMP) compute system with a large amount of directly addressable memory being taken by Segfault.
