The test clusters and F800/H600 storage systems were connected via 4 x 100GbE links between two Dell Networking Z9100-ON
switches. Each of the compute nodes was connected to the test cluster side Dell Networking Z9100-ON switch via single 10GbE. Four
storage nodes in the Dell EMC Isilon F800/H600 were connected to the other switch via 8x 40GbE links. The configuration of the
storage is listed in Table 2. The detailed network topology is illustrated in Figure 1.
The original tests with an optimized Relion from Intel include Lustre as the main storage; however, we tested the identical optimized
Relion binary against Dell EMC Isilon, F800 and H600 due to the limited availability of Dell EMC Lustre Storage at the time of testing.
The detailed running scripts were also obtained from Intel as well to ensure that we reproduce the results.
