Who is this for?
This is an advanced topic for engineers who want to tune the performance of network workloads on Arm Neoverse-based bare-metal instances.
What will you learn?
Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:
- Set up a benchmarking environment using Tomcat and wrk2
- Set up a baseline performance configuration before tuning
- Tune network workloads performance using NIC queues
- Tune network workloads performance with local NUMA
- Tune network workloads performance with IOMMU
Prerequisites
Before starting, you will need the following:
- An Arm Neoverse-based bare-metal server running Ubuntu 24.04 to run Tomcat. This Learning Path was tested with an AWS c8g.metal-48xl instance
- Access to a x86_64 bare-metal server running Ubuntu 24.04 to run wrk2
- Basic familiarity with Java applications
