- | The benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. | ||
- | Please note that submissions of all size are welcome; the site has customizable sorting so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score for example. | ||

- | The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: | ||
- | - Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite | ||
- | - Encouraging complexity in tuning for performance | ||
- | - Allowing submitters to highlight their "hero run" performance numbers | ||
- | - Forcing submitters to simultaneously report performance for challenging IO patterns. | ||
- | |||
- | Specifically, | ||
- | |||
- | The goals of the community are also multi-fold: | ||
- | - Gather historical data for the sake of analysis and to aid predictions of storage futures | ||
- | - Collect tuning information to share valuable performance optimizations across the community | ||
- | - Encourage vendors and designers to optimize for workloads beyond “hero runs” | ||
- | - Establish bounded expectations for users, procurers, and administrators | ||

- | ==== 10 Node challenge ==== | ||

- | At SC, we will announce another IO-500 **award** for the 10 node challenge. | ||
- | This challenge is conducted using the regular IO-500 benchmark, however, with the rule that exactly 10 client nodes must be used to run the benchmark (one exception is find, which may use 1 node). | ||
- | You may use any shared storage with, e.g., any number of servers. | ||
- | When submitting for the IO-500 list, you can opt-in for " | ||
- | We will announce the result in a separate derived list and in the full list but not on the ranked IO-500 list at io500.org. | ||
