This post is shows few common RDMA benchmark examples for AMD 2nd Generation EPYC™ CPU (Romeformerly codenamed “Rome”) based servers to achieve maximum performance using ConnectX-6 HDR InfiniBand adapters. This post was established based testing over the AMD Daytona_X AMD Rome reference platform with 2nd Gen EPYC CPUs and with ConnectX-6 HDR InfiniBand adapters.
...
Before starting, please follow AMD Rome 2nd Gen EPYC CPU Tuning Guide for InfiniBand HPC to set the cluster parameters for high performance. Please use the latest firmware and driver, and find a core close to the adapter on your local Numa, see HowTo Find the local NUMA node in AMD EYPC EPYC Servers.
RDMA Testing is important to have before each application or micro-benchmark application testing, as it gives you the low level capabilities of your fabric.
