Project Title and brief description
GNS3 megalab testing. A lot of modern routers use a lot of memory resources to run the operating system as well as store large amounts of data that needs to be quickly accessed.
How does the open source community benefit from your work?
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
I'm not sure if all of the components of GNS3 are opensource, but the main project is as well as virtualisation/emulation software.
Note that the configuration provided was created to enable testing flexibility across a range of potential use cases. Projects are expected to use one system due to limited supply. If additional resources are required, contact avi@packet.net
As I've said earlier, a lot of modern routing/switching devices need large amounts of memory to store all of that data. I've been doing a lot of "megalabs", but due to my limited resources that I could afford, but seeing that I can practically get more ram, I thought that I might raise this request.
What performance-focused articles has your project published before?
Is your project intensely interested in performance, especially where disk I/O is concerned? Have you written about it or shared results of testing? Please share anything that shows your focus.
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
Feel free to brag a little bit about yourself!
Would you be willing to share your analysis and results publicly?
We are interested in blog posts, meetups and conference presentations. Accelerate With Optane would be more than happy to host your blog posts or link to them, and may coordinate performance-oriented meetups and conferences. Are you open to sharing?
I am open to creating a Medium article on how I made the "megalab" on Packet.net with GNS3 and what architecture I had.
Are you interested in testing Intel Optane SSDs with Intel Memory Drive Technology (IMDT)?
IMDT extends system memory transparently by integrating Intel Optane SSD capacity into the memory subsystem. The systems provided have 192GB of DRAM but can be enabled with 1.4TB of software-defined memory while leaving one Intel Optane SSD still available for fast storage/caching usage. Check here for more information on IMDT.
This is the reason that I am interested in testing this technology.
