The H3C UniServer R3900 G7 is 2U rackmount server powered by Intel Xeon 6960P
processor with 72 cores. The server provides more processing power with
Hyper-Threading enabled by default in BIOS to enable 144 threads. The server
supports high memory bandwidth memory technology with 12 DIMMs of 8800 MT/s
DDR5 memory.It supports 16 2.5" local NVMe drive bays, four USB ports and 2000W
Platinum Redundant Power supplies.

1 1 2U New H3C Te H3C This is a H3C 2U Rackmount server
Rackmount chnologies UniServer powered by single Intel Xeon 6960P
server Co., Ltd. R3900 G7 processor (72cores). This system
supports 16 2.5" hot-swap NVMe
drive bays. One drive was used for
Ubuntu 24.04.1 OS and 12 drives
were used for this performance
testing.

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 8800 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 R3900 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 Intel Xeon 6960P (72cores)
processor and 12 NVMe drives were connected to support lots of disk storage and
good storage performance. The testing was done with Hyper-Threading enabled in
BIOS to enable 144 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 R3900 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.
