<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have seen the benchmarks on the gluster website and i wondered if
there is a big difference between infiniband and tcp/ip performances.
Anyone can share some stats on this i do not know the infiniband
technology at all.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Hi,
Some preliminary numbers I have for a 4x SDR IB network, single
disk (RAID 5, 4+1, SAS, 300G 15K disks), single user:
transport read write notes
--------- ---- ----- -----
local ~254 ~255 for a 100G file, not compensating for
caching
take them for what their worth :)
nfs 158 76 not gluster, of course!
tcp (ipoib) 171 118 no optimizations
sdp 211 108 no optimizations
sdp 210 128 iot 4, 32MB
verbs 218 150 no optimizations
verbs 220 150 recv/send size 1048675, recv/send-count 16

The tuning is just overall so the block sizes can make a huge
difference. The numbers just give a good feeling for speeds.<br>
<br>
We have 8 servers that are also clients of each other with DDR IB each
with 4x750 SATA II in RAID 5 with 16GB RAM.<br>
<br>
rates are in MBs. A = aggregat S = per server<br>
