Both solutions ran our workload on an equal number of Kubernetes containers, and each container processed a discrete number of images. We observed that the containers with more compute power processed images faster.
The Dell EMC server we tested contained 64 total processor cores, while the HPE server contained just 36. The higher core count on the Dell EMC server allowed us to dedicate more threads per container. This increased thread count contributed to each container processing more frames per second (FPS) on the Dell EMC server. Additionally, the Dell EMC server processed more FPS per processor core. Figure 2 shows the processing rate for each workload. On average, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7525 processed 4,922 FPS compared to just 2,173 FPS with the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10. Dividing the FPS results by the number of cores in each server, the Dell EMC server handled 76.9 FPS per core versus 60.4 FPS per core on the HPE server.
