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 so they need 14 times more memory and cores and 2 times flash to show twice as many builds at double the response time, i leave this to everybody who understands this facts to judge how great that result really is. Said all this, Spectrum Scale scales almost linear if you double the nodes , network and storage accordingly, so there is no reason to believe we couldn't easily beat this, its just a matter of assemble the HW in a lab and run the test. btw we scale to 10k+ nodes , 2500 times the number we used in our publication :-D
