Test Notes for Big Data Workloads
Scalability Tests were performed on a 9 node cluster of bare metal nodes.
- CPU - Single socket per server with Ampere Altra N1 processor with 80 cores @3.0GHz
- Memory - Samsung DDR4 512GB DRAM 3200 MHz
- Storage - 4 Micron 7300 NVME Drives each with 3.5 TB storage space
- Network Cards - Mellanox CX-6, 2 x 100Gb/s with a bonded configuration
Terasort Hadoop and Spark tests were done on Ampere Altra and x86 VM's with the following configurations.
- Intel - Skylake 2000 GHz
- AMD - Rome 2249 MHz
- AMD - Milan 2449 MHz
- Ampere - Altra processors 3000 MHz
- vCPU's - 16 ARM Cores or 16 x86 threads.
- Memory - 64 GB
- Storage - 1TB storage with 1000 MB/sec read/write performance
Note: TPC-DS tests were done on Intel Ice Lake processors(Graph 2).
