• The following BeeGFS specific tuning parameters were used in the metadata, storage, and client
configuration files:
beegfs-meta.conf
connMaxInternodeNum = 64
tuneNumWorkers = 12
tuneUsePerUserMsgQueues = true # Optional
tuneTargetChooser = roundrobin (benchmarking)
beegfs-storage.conf
connMaxInternodeNum = 64
tuneNumWorkers = 12
tuneUsePerTargetWorkers = true
tuneUsePerUserMsgQueues = true # Optional
tuneBindToNumaZone = 0
tuneFileReadAheadSize = 2m
beegfs-client.conf
connMaxInternodeNum = 24
connBufSize = 720896
Note: The tuneTargetChooser parameter was set to roundrobin for the purpose of benchmarking so
that the targets are chosen in a deterministic, round-robin fashion. However, in a production system, it is
recommended to use the “randomized” algorithm which chooses the targets in a random fashion.
