Exploring advanced Block Storage capabilities
In this second use case, we delve into the performance comparison of our Block Storage Basic with Block Storage Low Latency. This analysis is crucial for understanding how various storage options can influence the efficiency and speed of data processing, key elements in high-performance computing.
Block Storage performance: Basic vs. Low Latency
Setup for the test:
This test underscores the enhanced performance of our Low Latency Block Storage, highlighting its suitability for applications requiring rapid data access and processing.
q4-2023-use-case-2-v1.mp4
In these examples, we demonstrate the real-world implications and benefits of using advanced computing technologies. Through practical comparisons, we highlight the significant performance differences between various hardware configurations and technologies, providing insights into how these can be leveraged for more efficient and powerful computing solutions.
Inference x86 vs Inference ARM
Setup for inference tests: Utilizing a GP1-XL and an AMP2-C48, both equipped with 48 vCPUs, to conduct the tests.
Running inference: Employing Tensorflow along with Huggingface Transformers for inference. The pre-trained model 'bert-base-uncased' is used with small batch sizes (8) on short sequences (32/128/512).
Observations: Notable faster performance on ARM with reduced cost and energy consumption compared to x86.
Elastic Metal SSD vs Elastic Metal NVME performance test
Hardware selection: Conducting tests on Elastic Metal SSD (EM-B112X-SSD) and Elastic Metal NVME (EM-I210E-NVME).
Executing JEDEC219 Test: Performing a heavy workload test, predominantly write, with random data using FIO.
Results analysis: A significant increase in IOPS observed on NVME (reaching approximately 80k) compared to SSD (around 4k), highlighting the superior performance of NVME.
