  • Publication number: 20240135282
    Abstract: A computing system is provided for modeling a deployment of heterogeneous memory on a server network. The computing system receives a user input of parameters including a memory ratio of local memory to heterogeneous memory in each server, a first relative throughput when an entire dataset is in local memory on a server, and a second relative throughput when the entire dataset is in heterogeneous memory on the server. Based on these parameters, the system determines a server ratio of a number of servers in an enhanced cluster with heterogeneous memory to a number of servers in a baseline cluster without heterogeneous memory, where the enhanced cluster and the baseline cluster deliver equivalent data throughput performance. Based on the parameters and the server ratio, a server network design is generated and outputted.
