From there, FASTDATA.io used the Haversine Benchmark -- a SparkSQL query used to calculate and compare distance between two GPS points on Earth -- to test the data processing capabilities of the R940xa. The Haversine Benchmark simulates pipelines common in large Telecom companies, which takes gigabytes of CDR rows, each containing the location of both ends of a cell phone call, and then filters those calls based on distance as calculated by the haversine function. The test was run with the following specs: Machine: Dell R940xa GPU: 4x V100 with 16GB each CPUs: 4x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8180M CPU @ 2.50GHz Memory: 3TB The benchmark measures how many records can be processed per second. We compared Spark running on the CPU with PlasmaENGINE® running on GPUs, and as you can see, PlasmaENGINE® processed a whopping 2.128 billion rows per second on the R940xa, compared to Apache Spark's 10.49 million rows.

PlasmaENGINE® was up and running in minutes on the R940xa thanks to an easy to use Docker image.
From there, FASTDATA.io used the Haversine Benchmark -- a SparkSQL query used to calculate and
compare distance between two GPS points on Earth -- to test the data processing capabilities of the R940xa.
The Haversine Benchmark simulates pipelines common in large Telecom companies, which takes gigabytes
of CDR rows, each containing the location of both ends of a cell phone call, and then filters those calls based
on distance as calculated by the haversine function.
The test was run with the following specs:
Machine:
Dell R940xa
GPU
: 4x V100 with 16GB each
CPUs:
4x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8180M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Memory
: 3TB
The benchmark measures how many records can be processed per second. We compared Spark running on
the CPU with PlasmaENGINE® running on GPUs, and as you can see, PlasmaENGINE® processed a
whopping 2.128 billion rows per second on the R940xa, compared to Apache Spark’s 10.49 million rows.
