OSFC 2019 -  Scaling OpenBMC out to high end enterprise server -- learnings
Channel: Open Source Firmware Conference
Date: 2019-12-02

This talk was held at 9elements Cyber Security's Open Source Firmware Conference in Silicon Valley.

Presenter: Connor Reed, Chris Wood
Abstract:
A study on enabling OpenBMC on a high end enterprise Purley server. We take a shipping Lenovo server, SR950 (hw enabled for 96DIMMs / 8CPUs; BMC=Pilot4), and explore readiness of core OpenBMC components when paired with dense configurations. We are interested in boot and runtime performance as well as scaling capabilities such as 256 sensors (use of multi-LUNs).
