Principled Technologies Releases Study Assessing Aerospike Database

Performance Leveraging Intel Ethernet 800 Series Network Adapters with

Application Device Queues

In hands-on testing on Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd servers, PT found that utilizing Application
Device Queues (ADQ) on Intel Ethernet 800 Series Network Adapters consistently improved
Aerospike Database performance and predictability while offering near-linear scaling in both
DRAM and Intel Optane persistent memory enabled configurations.

Durham, NC, April 28, 2021 --(PR.com)-- To accelerate network performance, Intel Ethernet 800 Series
Network Adapters offer Application Device Queues (ADQ), a feature that prioritizes the most critical
traffic. Principled Technologies (PT) set up three 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based Dell
EMC PowerEdge R740xd server nodes with Intel Ethernet 800 Series Network Adapters and compared
Aerospike Database 5 performance with ADQ enabled versus with ADQ disabled in DRAM-only and
Intel Optane persistent memory (PMem) configurations. Enabling ADQ improved throughput up to 64
percent, reduced latency up to 32 percent, and increased response time predictability up to 41 percent.

According to the report, “Our tests showed that enabling ADQ with the Intel Ethernet 800 Series Network
Adapter provided a significant improvement in throughput, latency, and predictability for Aerospike
databases - which helps deliver responsive experiences for end users. Enabling ADQ also offered
near-linear scaling for Aerospike Database applications as we added server nodes.” In addition, “enabling
ADQ while using Intel Optane PMem showed performance gains similar to those we saw in our testing
with traditional memory."
