Bandwidhth testing: All tests are an average of five runs

Local to Local Tests

umich-umich (MBytes/second) (Depot was configured to receive max 64 threads. The figure values increase to the 90's once we reconfigure depot with 120 threads)

  • Umich to Fermi to 4 depots
10 Threads 69.22 MB/s
20 Threads 68.89 MB/s
40 Threads 68.24 MB/s

These numbers probably are limitations on the lors_upload ability to pump out data: 1 or 4 target depots see same throughput.

This table shows results of individual trials rather than an average to the show 
behavior of this connection.

* = Erratic iperf results, some of the threads die before the test completes, 
    bandwidth varies greatly from trial to trial.
** = Same as above plus the test fails to complete some of the time.
