​Check System Hardware Capabilities

100 Gb/s and 4x25 Gb/s Ethernet network speeds have minimum CPU and system requirements to reach high-performance throughput. In general, a modern server class processor and optimal memory configuration for your platform should be sufficient, but the needs can vary depending on your workload. All memory channels should be populated to achieve full memory bandwidth. The platform BIOS and related kernel settings should be configured for high-performance mode. Verify that your CPU and memory configuration is capable of supporting the level of bandwidth required for the intended workload. It is also important to understand the architecture of your platform to ensure workloads are properly scheduled on cores and nodes local to the networking hardware.
