while i really like competition on SpecSFS, the claims from the WekaIO people are lets say 'alternative facts' at best
The Spectrum Scale results were done on 4 Nodes with 2 Flash Storage devices attached, they compare this to a WekaIO system with 14 times more memory (14 TB vs 1TB) , 120 SSD's (vs 64 Flashcore Modules) across 15 times more compute nodes (60 vs 4) .
said all this, the article claims 1000 builds, while the actual submission only delivers 500 --> https://www.spec.org/sfs2014/results/sfs2014.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.spec.org_sfs2014_results_sfs2014.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=djjh8EKwHtOepW4Bjau0lKhLlu-DxM1dlgP0rrLsOzY&r=LPDewt1Z4o9eKc86MXmhqX-45Cz1yz1ylYELF9olLKU&m=zcBZFHy-xVdLvgryp8EWMGnM08kl3lXfbmjrBY9obTo&s=QY5jFI43JPS9xpsQNhZZe0qteBYsdqwRHNM1biXUCQU&e=>
