Vault Report: STAC-M3 Kx Systems kdb+ 3.1 with Intel SSD DC P3700 on IBM x3750 M4

Baseline results of pre-release Intel DC P3700 PCIe-based SSD with Kx Systems kdb+ 3.1

12 June 2014 - New York

STAC continues to invite providers of PCIe flash devices to send their products to the STAC Lab for testing under a tick data analytics workload (STAC-M3) in a consistent hardware and software environment. The results reside in the confidential STAC Vault and are available to qualified members of the STAC Benchmark Council.

The most recent vendor to participate is Intel, who supplied us with four pre-release units of the 1.6TB Intel DC P3700 storage device. These SSDs resided in the PCIe slots of the test server, an IBM x3750 M4 server with four 8-core Intel Xeon E5-4650 CPUs, which has been used for many other STAC-M3 tests. The software was Kx Systems kdb+ 3.1. Unaudited results are available for the baseline STAC-M3 tests (Antuco suite).

Qualified members of the STAC Benchmark Council can access the report here.

Qualified subscribers may also request to inspect or run the STAC-M3 Pack for kdb+ 3.1 (the q and k code for the kdb+ implementation) here.
