AMD is the high-performance and adaptive computing leader, powering the products and services that help solve the world’s most important challenges. Our technologies advance the future of the data center, embedded, gaming, and PC markets. AMD Solarflare™ Ethernet adapters are designed for high-performance electronic trading environments and enterprise data centers—including artificial intelligence, big data, analytics, machine learning, storage, and telco applications.

The Testing

We run a set of simple tests using eflatency and sfnt-pingpong to measure typical network latency in Blackcore overclocked servers when coupled with AMD low latency network interface cards (NICs). We will also compare stock performance to Blackcore’s overclocked performance. The tests are performed on a single host with a 1M 10Gbe connected to the NIC ports in loopback mode, and isolated via namespaces in Linux.

The Results

The following benchmarks show that Blackcore systems provide demonstrable latency improvements over a stock system. Both when looking at minimum achievable latency, median latency, and significantly more consistent 99%ile performance.
For UDP traffic accelerated with onload, latencies can be reduced by up to 20% with Blackcore’s overclocking compared to a stock configuration.
