I guess a large portion of the RAM just keeps the constantly accessed stuff in cache?
With that much RAM, it's probably more like ALL THE THINGS!... and that's even before you hit the SSDs.

Lol, there is a saying, there is never too much or there is never overkill. The way you said this I laughed.

Yeah this is most likely why. This speeds up things.

Very nice set up. I wonder how much the average # of daily unique visitors is and bandwidth usage.

About 14,520,000 hits per day (168/second). ~15 GB/day.

Not bad at all. Cheesy

Thanks for sharing!

ya.ya.yo!

I would imagine that there is some kind of gap to account for say, spikes in RAM usage, etc. It'd be silly if the forum used 60 GB of RAM when it has 64 GB total.

Not bad...not bad at all. 64GB of RAM is crazy for a forum, I guess it's because of the high traffic, though! My measly 4GB machine couldn't touch that at all in terms of speed Wink

I wonder what gets utilized out of the 64, maybe like 50? or half? Gotta have headroom.
Maybe half. That's just an estimate I am not really sure. It's just a forum you know.

Wow, how does it deal with DDOSes?

theymos spoke of this in pm, it might be ideal for theymos to answer rather me mirror it back without permission.

The setup seems good enough for a forum. No wonder that it's this fast (everything is almost instant for me).

I don't think there is a thread about it. The current setup is:
- 2x Intel Xeon E5-2650 (8 cores each + hyperthreading)
- 64 GB RAM
- 4 mid-range SSDs in RAID 1+0 (OS stuff), 2 fast SSDs in RAID 1 (database), 2 conventional hard drives in RAID 1 (storage)

I got a hold of theymos, asked and he kindly gave me permission to post it up for the curious like myself.

Sweet setup.
