Re: Let's start a survey on our userbase
Good idea regarding a baseline and to have a general idea what users have hardware wise.
On my end:
For PPC64le, IBM Power 8 Model 8284-22A.
For PPC64, IBM Power 710
All with Connectx-4 lx (Ethernet) and Connectx3 VPI (infiniband) cards
It may be a good idea to ask SPARC users as well.
On my end:
Oracle T5120
Oracle T5140
Oracle S7-2
All with Connectx-3 VPI cards for both Ethernet and Infiniband.
* For Sparc64, ConnectX4-LX often generate tainted kernel messages with Debian 12, so I decided to use ConnectX3 cards.
