Is it possible to install processors in parallel?

Po

I would like to improve my PC and have some more processors from broken laptops and computers and wondered if I could use them in parallel in my computer? Would not be so wasteful, as if I buy a new one.

The ones you have or mean NO.

There are of course motherboards because you can block several CPUs.

So-called MP motherboards.

These are mostly used as server or workstation.

Are very common

Intel = Xeon CPUs

AMD = Opteron CPUs

I do not want to say that it is completely impossible. The effort is only significant:

You would need for the various types of sockets self-developed plug-in cards with their own RAM.
In addition, a specially designed motherboard that the individual cards vorgaukelt that they are operated separately with a series of high-performance slots and its own CPU for management. The motherboard should have a large server format to accommodate enough CPU riser cards.
For Monday you need soldered CPUs s.besten a Entlötofen and a soldering station.
So that the whole does not cost millions, I would look for a contract manufacturer in China, which implements your layout.
Of course, you have to develop a customized operating system, most meaningfully based on Linux, which provides the necessary software connection.
All together, it should cost at least a six-figure amount, but can also break the million mark.

It could possibly be that it is better to buy a current normal PC for a few thousand euro, which would probably be faster than a dozen coupled CPUs. ^^

AMD = Opteron, Epyc CPUs

This works only with processors that support this (for example, Xeon, threadripper and epyc)

The others just do not have the hardware I / O features to work together. So if you do not want to modify the cpu hardware, it will not work.
It is possible to modify processors afterwards (as you shoot with focused ions around with millions of equipment), for prototypes this is sometimes cheaper than making a completely new one, but it costs a 5 digit price.

Of course you can basically let two independent computers work on a problem.

Thread ripper too.

This procedure can be used to modify subsequent processors. But as I said, the devices cost millions. You only use this if you have a unique prototype, you have to change something and it would be simply too expensive to make a new one. 5 digits still cost you that, but better than knocking out a million for a prototype. Companies like NXP (I used that in their lab) have such devices.

Hardly an alternative for you.

To these CPUs the Threadripper does not belong, since this does not support that does.

Pr

Was the opinion that threadripper supports that.

This is a product error… Threadripper does not support it, see: https://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/EPYC7000/H11DSi-NT.cfm

It's an epyc board (SP3) and not a threadripper board (TR4).

I also noticed.

You've already changed it, you crook xP.

I wrote Mindfactory an e-mail that would change that. Let's see if they fix the error and write again no answer. In February I wrote to those that the graphics card search does not work. They fixed the bug the same day, but I never received a thank you or similar answer.
