  • **Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):** The Developer Network can serve as a powerful CI/CD server, enabling faster build times and more frequent deployments.
  • **Virtualization and Containerization:** Running multiple virtual machines or containers simultaneously is easily handled by the Developer Network’s abundant resources.
  • **Scientific Computing:** Simulations and research requiring significant processing power are well-suited for the Developer Network.

Performance

The performance of the Developer Network varies depending on the specific configuration. However, we can provide some indicative performance metrics based on benchmark testing. The following table illustrates the results of several common benchmarks run on a Developer Network node equipped with an AMD EPYC 7763 CPU, 256GB of RAM, and 2 x 2TB NVMe SSDs.

Benchmark Score Notes
Geekbench 5 (Single-Core) 1,750 Represents the performance of a single CPU core.
Geekbench 5 (Multi-Core) 140,000 Demonstrates the overall CPU performance when utilizing all cores.
Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core) 85,000 Measures CPU rendering performance.
CrystalDiskMark (Sequential Read) 7,000 MB/s Indicates the speed of reading data from the NVMe SSD.
CrystalDiskMark (Sequential Write) 6,500 MB/s Indicates the speed of writing data to the NVMe SSD.
PassMark PerformanceTest Overall 25,000 A comprehensive system performance score.

These scores are representative and can vary based on factors such as operating system, software configuration, and background processes. Performance can be further optimized through techniques like Server Optimization and careful software tuning. We also offer Performance Monitoring tools to help users track resource utilization and identify potential bottlenecks. The impact of GPU integration on performance is substantial for machine learning and graphics-intensive workloads; a node with an NVIDIA RTX A6000 can achieve up to 10x faster training times for certain deep learning models.
