Abstract

This talk will focus on how SMB3 and RDMA enable high performance file servers/clusters for application workloads. The talk will introduce the design of SMB3 for performance over RDMA on highly parallel modern machines, will include benchmark results for several key workloads, will examine the performance tuning/diagnostic facilities exposed by SMB3, and will share some of the key performance lessons learned during the development of SMB3

Learning Objectives

Understand the expected performance for a properly tuned SMB3/RDMA file server for several important workloads
Know what facilities exist for diagnosing and fixing SMB3/RDMA performance problems
Understand the ways in which the machine architecture and application design effect performance
