@ -121,11 +121,16 @@ Performance requirements depend mostly on the amount of traffic that you get
on your Elixir service. However, a fast server also helps for the initial
indexing of the projects.
SSD storage is strongly recommended because of the frequent access to
git repositories.
At Bootlin, here are a few details about the server we're using:
* As of April 2018, our Elixir service consumes 165 GB of data (supporting all projects, with some data duplication).
Therefore, a 256 GB (SSD!) disk should be fine for most needs.
* The server has 64GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, and a E3-1245 v5 CPU running at 3.50GHz (4 cores / 8 threads).
* As of July 2019, our Elixir service consumes 17 GB of data (supporting all projects),
or for the Linux kernel alone (version 5.2 being the latest), 12 GB for indexing data,
and 2 GB for the git repository.
* We're using an LXD instance with 8 GB of RAM on a cloud server with 8 CPU cores
running at 3.1 GHz.
