We install an NVIDIA GeForce GTX series GPU in a Supermicro AMD EPYC system and investigate whether pinning Tensorflow and Zcash mining containers to specific NUMA nodes has an impact on performance.
We replaced NAND based NVMe drives with Intel Optane drives in the STH hosting cluster for a day and saw some dramatic performance differences
We pull a network snippet from around 1000 crypto miners mining Ethereum, Zcash, Zclassic, Bitcoin-Gold, Monero, Aeon, Digibyte and a number of other coins to see how much bandwidth mining uses
We test the Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 and show why it is a case study in the excellence of 1U dual socket mainstream server design
The new Micron 5200 series of enterprise SATA SSDs offer up to 7.68TB of capacity using the legacy 6.0gbps storage interface found in virtually every server
Intel has been rolling out 64-layer 3D NAND products for some time. Perhaps the last major rollout we will see is the Intel 7 Series SSDs, featuring the Intel 760p series. The Intel SSD 760P series is a TLC-based NAND SSD with significantly more performance, lower power consumption and higher capacities than Intel's previous generation NVMe m.2 consumer SSDs.

We preview the Ethereal Capital 16x GPU Mining System P106-100-X16 with 16x NVIDIA P106-100 6GB GPUs, a Supermicro embedded motherboard, and awesome remote management capabilities
In a gift to AMD EPYC sales efforts, Intel offers initial enterprise benchmarks with Meltdown and Spectre patches which will close the gap between EPYC and Skylake-SP performance
Synology released two new rackmount NAS units the RS818+ and RS818RP+ which use the Intel Atom C2000 series in a 1U form factor for cost sensitive customers
Do the Intel Xeon Scalable "T" series CPUs perform differently than their standard counterparts? We test single and dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 and 4116T configurations to confirm they perform about the same
