Thanks, I will try it out and report back.

I can't find any reference in that article to the claim that Richcopy splits up single file copies into multiple segments to be handled by multiple threads if desired.

The link appears dead. And could not find any other reference that confirms your claim. Guess the only way to find out is trying it out.

Even robocopy does not split up a single file copy into segments that can be transferred concurrently. And anyway, it remains a total mystery why Windows limits single threaded file transfers to around 1GB/sec when the network can handle a multiple, when the file storage can handle a multiple...

I gave up on smb direct, rdma, and roce. I did not witness any performance increases for file servers. Windows file manager operates single threaded and I max out bandwidth at 1GB/sec no matter what. I have file access to a striped array at over 12 GB/sec but can't transfer that performance over...

They are not part of WinOF2 but are part of WinOF. I just used them today they are definitely part of WinOF

that did the trick, thanks a lot!

marv, did you ever get the Mellanox cmdlets to work in Windows 10 Pro for Workstation? I am facing similar issues right now and nowhere does it mention that roce or rdma only works by sharing from Windows Server, it should work equally well in Windows 10 Pro for Workstation, but I cannot even...

Report it to Intel and let them work with Amazon.

Your crystal balls might be wrongly calibrated. Microsoft is on the upswing in so many areas, their company valuations reflect that. Windows 10 has overtaken Windows 7 in terms of market share. They bought the world's largest developer repository, their software OS margins look very juicy from a...

Not sure who is dreaming here but Windows 10 overtook Windows 7 and overall commands a very solid market share, even in the corporate market. Here the hard numbers: According to web analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10's share fell by six-tenths of a percentage point in February...

Turned out the psu fans cannot be adjusted. Without hardware modifications. By the way, for anyone who is interested in the ESC8000 and pcie bifurcation capabilities, I contacted Asus and they actually created a custom bios for me that allows for bifurcation of the pcie lanes despite that not...

Most likely, at least when fulfilled and shipped by Amazon, customers scammed Amazon and someone in the return department did not check carefully enough before selling returned items. I can't come up with a single reason why Amazon would intentionally do this given the massive reputational risk...

Agree with all you said IF AMD delivers what you hope for. But gpu compute servers generally house 8 or more gpus, a few less but I don't consider those serious gpu compute servers. Rome may be interesting in many regards though admittedly I have lost hope in AMD for anything that concerns low...

that's an admirable dream but you are forgetting the need for lanes for nvme drives and other peripherals. You can't drive 8gpus with 128 lanes. On the other hand, you can couple multiple switches with minimal performance impact. For a gpu compute server you won't get around switches for the...

You can get a used dell switch with 32 100gb ports for around usd 3300. That's around 500 dollars broken down over 6 servers, take away the extra 150-200 dollars you pay for a 2 port 100gb nic over a single port one and you pay an extra 300 dollars per server but get a full l2/l3 100gb switch...

How Rome will perform is way too early to tell imo. But again for pure gpu compute requirements, the switch topology is of higher importance, lesser the cpu one. Any gpus that run on switches,without inter-gpu i/o going through the cpu is a good thing. So, I am still confused why the question on...

Confused...you asked about Rome but ordered non Rome... You asked and worried about Numa nodes but know already that your specific workload won't be bottlenecked by pcie lanes on different nodes...maybe I missed it but what did you exactly try to ask with your question? Would you mind sharing...

I have the ESC8000 and it's by far the best gpu server I have ever had or seen or heard of till now. You can actually change the toplogy in the bios and via IPMI which I have not seen in any other server. Amd based Boards so far are great for general server needs and storage but horrific...
