Yeah, I’d make sure there’s someone with time/interest in renting an Epyc server, first. Ask on IRC and see.

Can you donate money specifically for said cause?

If so, I’ll definitely donate $500.

But if there is no garuntee my donation will be used for that cause – then no, I’m reluctant to donate.

Nikki,

Have you donated that amount to the project so they can use it to rent the Epyc server?

Wow, you can rent a fully maxed out (dedicated) Epyc server for about $500/month.

That’s fantastic!

Would be great to see these old benchmarks updated

+1 for Francois to update the 3 year old benchmarks.

You can rent (cheaply) an Epyc server too

Phenomenal. With EPYC, 128 threads (virtual cores) are now within reach…for a price of course. We can now really begin to see how DragonFly scales.

Has anyone tried DragonFly on Ryzen Threadripper? What a beast of a CPU.
