I am using baremetal with Mellanox ConnectX-5 series. I initially tried newer Intel cards but had odd issues. Support stated that there were issues with the Intel driver so I swapped over to Mellanox and haven't had any issues since. The other stuff to keep in mind is NUMA. I converted my dual cpu to a more powerful single cpu and moved the nics to the appropriate slots that are connected to the installed cpu. Since then it has been consistent. With dual cpu I never could get the performance as it was always using the qpi bus often and crippling performance.
Hiya.. first of all happy new year..
just had time now to login and check posts...
you have mentioned NUMA on top.. were you refering to NVIDIA NUMA GPUS instead?
If you don´t mind asking ? what kind of Single CPU are u using?
i have a pair of E5-2699V4 laying around, i am just ebaying for the right cheap server R630 or R730 so i can plug them in in orther to try them out..
would that be a bad combination using 2 E5-2699v4? is there a higher core + clock rate higher then the E5-2699v4 models worth testing around?
i did see the AMD EPYC 64core/128threads cpus.. just not sure if mikrotik supports them.
