The architecture was designed to broadly represent the infrastructure that customers use for their Oracle databases. Dell PowerEdge R750xs servers were used for the compute layer. Each PowerEdge R750xs was configured in the same way to ensure consistency of test results. Two Intel® Xeon® Gold 6338 processors with 32 physical cores (64 total) were used. The default server configuration enables logical processors so that at the hypervisor layer 128 cores were available. The following table provides the configuration details:
Table 2. Server configuration
Processors | 2 x Intel® Xeon® Gold 6338 32C CPU @ 2.00 GHz |
Memory | 16 x 64 GB 3200MT/s memory, total of 1TB |
Network Adapters | Embedded NIC: 1 x Broadcom BCM5720 1GbE DP Ethernet (mgmt.) Integrated NIC1: 1 x Broadcom Adv. Dual port 25Gb Ethernet NIC Slot 5: 1 x Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN 25 GbE Dual port Adapter |
HBA | 2 x Emulex LPe35002 32Gbps Dual Port Fibre Channel |
