Can someone verify the output of vioperf on vertica system

/opt/vertica/bin/vioperf --duration=60s
The minimum required I/O is 20 MB/s read and write per physical processor core on each node, in full duplex i.e. reading and writing at this rate simultaneously, concurrently on all nodes of the cluster. The recommended I/O is 40 MB/s per physical core on each node. For example, the I/O rate for a server node with 2 hyper-threaded six-core CPUs is 240 MB/s required minimum, 480 MB/s recommended.

  • Hi Vaibhav,

    I have also verified and as per my understanding, vertica recommends you should have 40MB/S speed per core on a server node. For example if you have 32 core machine(2 physical, and 16 core / physical), then your machine io speed should be 32X40 MB/S for optimized performance.

    I hope this helps.

    Anyone form Vertica Team, please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
