The H3C UniServer R3950 G7 is 2U rackmount server powered by a AMD EPYC 5th
generation 9355P processor. A single 9355P processor provides 32 cpu cores.
When SMT is enabled via BIOS, it provides 64 cpu threads. This system is
configured with 768GB mem and 13 2.5" local NVMe drives for the benchmark run.

Filesystem Creation Notes
-------------------------
Software RAID0 was created by running mdadm command on the local 12 NVMe disks.
Filesystem was created using mkfs.xfs command on the RAID0 device for
benchmarking.
Storage and Filesystem Notes
----------------------------
The XFS filesystem was attached with a single mount and using the noatime
option. All other mount options were the default for Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.

The system has 12 DIMM slots for DDR5 supports up to 6000 MT/s.
Stable Storage
==============
The XFS file system provides journaling support for filesystem protection.
Solution Under Test Configuration Notes
=======================================
The benchmark was run on a single H3C UniServer R3950 G7 server with local NVMe
storage disks. RAID0 config was created using the drives and XFS filesystem was
set up on the RAID0. Ubuntu 24.04.1 OS was installed on an internal NVMe drive.
There were no additional external clients or storage devices or network devices
were connected to this setup. The system has a AMD EPYC Gen5 9355P (32cores)
processor and 12 NVMe drives were connected to support lots of disk storage and
good storage performance. The testing was done with SMT enabled in BIOS,
providing 64 cpu threads for more processing power.
Other Solution Notes
====================
None
Dataflow
========
This single server setup has a RAID0 partition created on the local storage
drives and XFS file system was created on the RAID. Data gets written directly
on to the XFS filesystem and on to the NVMe storage devices. No other external
storage device was used.
Other Notes
===========
The benchmark was run on a single H3C UniServer R3950 G7 server using its local
NVMe drives. No other client systems, or external storage devices or networking
devices were connected to this test system. This benchmark was tested on Ubuntu
24.04.1 OS with kernel 6.8.0-41-generic.All components used for testing have
applied security patches for Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities (CVE7-5754,
CVE7-5753, CVE7-5715), ensuring that the system is protected from such attacks.
