For PowerEdge R760 servers, each server has 16 NVMe devices directly connected, eight under each processor (this configuration is balanced configuration in terms of NUMA domains). For the configuration characterized, we used two PowerEdge R760 servers fully loaded with Dell AG 3.84TB (PM1743) E3.S PCIe5 devices. Nevertheless, any NVMe device supported on the PowerEdge R760 server is supported for these NVMe nodes.
In the current configuration, our partner Kalray divided each file system block of 8 MiB into 32 subblocks of 256 KiB each. This division might have an impact on space efficiency for small files and perhaps affect performance for some benchmarks. Updates to the solution might include more investigation.
