[jira] [Created] (LUCENE-9086) Benchmark new Graviton2 ARM EC2
instances
Michael McCandless created LUCENE-9086:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Benchmark new Graviton2 ARM EC2 instances
Key: LUCENE-9086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9086
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
At [AWS re:Invent 2019|https://reinvent.awsevents.com/] last week, AWS announced new [EC2 instances based on the Graviton2 ARM processor|https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/coming-soon-graviton2-powered-general-purpose-compute-optimized-memory-optimized-ec2-instances] which apparently can be much faster than the original A1 instances, at least according to internal benchmarks.
I've been running Lucene's benchmarks ({{wikimediumall}}, indexing 33.3 M docs and running a diverse and repeatable set of search tasks) on these instances, comparing a {{c4.8xlarge}} (x86-64) instance against the new {{m6g.8xlarge}} (ARM), and I'll summarize the results here.
Net/net ARM seems to be faster at raw indexing than x86-64, even though {{m6g.8xlarge}} has only 32 cores versus 36 cores, but a bit slower at merging, while searching seems to be faster for some queries and slower for others. I'll try to get the full results posted soon.
