How do we determine how many nodes are required and which hardware should be used to process our data using Twister? Are there any guidelines we can use?

Our data architects have significant experience and can provide some useful guidelines. A site survey is typically done to determine the optimum Twister configuration. An assessment of the customer's IT infrastructure (hardware, storage, networking, operating system, etc.) and an evaluation of the data to be processed (type, format, size, access methods, etc.) and current process flow are performed as part of the site survey by SMSi engineers.

In some cases, a short pilot effort is initiated in order to size the system and determine the tier of nodes required. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
