SPDK AIO bdevperf Performance Report: Analyzing Workload on AWS Graviton4
We conducted SPDK bdevperf tests on an AWS EC2 r8gd.metal-24xl instance, focusing on single CPU core performance under high I/O load. Our objective was to demonstrate a CPU-bound workload. Results show low I/O wait and high CPU utilization, confirming the CPU is the limiting factor. The 2-disk configuration achieved the highest throughput, indicating a CPU saturation point. 1. Performance Results Summary (100-second duration) Below is a consolidated view of our 100-second bd

CPU-Centric HPC Benchmarking with miniFE and GROMACS
Benchmarks are vital for evaluating High-Performance Computing (HPC) system performance, guiding hardware choices, and optimizing software. This whitepaper focuses on understanding and overcoming bottlenecks in HPC benchmarks for CPU environments, specifically considering ARM/AARCH64 architectures, using miniFE and GROMACS as examples. 1. Introduction to miniFE and GROMACS Benchmarks 1.1. miniFE: A Finite Element Mini-Application miniFE, part of the Mantevo suite, simulates i
