4 years ago Hi @AnirudhGIT-perfaccel .
The lab project itself is finished. There are some servers still around, mostly dedicated. Drop me an email avi@packet.net and I will ask the Intel folks if there is anything they can do.
If you are interested in filing a request for access to the Accelerate With Optane Community Lab for performance testing, optimization, and analysis, please fill out the details below. Contact Avi Deitcher at avi@packet.net with questions.
Name, email, company, job title
Anirudh Patil A Datagres Technologies Solution Engineer
Note that projects with two or more participants are preferred.
Project Title and brief description
PerfAccel Appliance
How does the open source community benefit from your work?
Product Performance evaluation on the Intel Optance
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
NO
Does the infrastructure provided meet your testing needs (see: https://www.acceleratewithoptane.com/access/)?
Yes
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
We will require three (3) servers for the performance evaluation.
What performance-focused articles has your project published before?
Caching, memory optimization, Using the Intel Ceph cluster,
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.
PerfAccel Appliance focuses on the caching and analytic's part. PerfAccel is unique solution that delivers insights, control and acceleration for applications. Deep IO analytics enable better data placement to improve performance. Using its intelligent caching capabilities, PerfAccel delivers dramatic performance improvement. The result is a significant reduction in infrastructure costs.
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
NA
Would you be willing to share your analysis and results publicly?
yes in the form of the Whitepaper mentioning the PerfAccel and Optane.
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?
Are you interested in testing Intel Optane SSDs with Intel Memory Drive Technology (IMDT)?
Yes
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.
