Benchmark Framework Desktop Mainboard and 4-node cluster
Testing the Framework Desktop - AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8090S. (Four pre-production units were shipped to me for local cluster testing).
Single Node configuration (128 GB RAM):
Cluster configuration (4x Mainboard - 512 GB RAM)
Initial tests (above) were run using 2.5 Gbps Ethernet interconnect.
I later changed to 5 Gbps using a NICGIGA switch, and racked it in a black T1 mini rack shipped by DeskPi, along with four of their currently-in-prototype Framework Desktop mini rack trays. Mini rack build showcase here.
I also tested Thunderbolt node-to-node interconnects, but could only get 10 Gbps over TB4 using thunderbolt0
/thunderbolt1
interfaces).
For more benchmarks (focusing on CPU, GPU, disk, net, etc.), see:
All my automation for testing is in the Beowulf AI Cluster repo.
