Back in October of 2020, I announced that I have upgraded my node api.deathwing.me to serve faster and with fewer issues. So far, in the last 5 months, it has done a great job, but... why not more?

So today, a couple of hours ago, I switched the DNS records for api.deathwing.me, changing the node once again.

Node Specifications
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Memory: 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM
Storage: 8TB NVMe (in RAID0), 50TB Potato Disks

Basically, every single thing (other than RAM, unfortunately, that's a hard cap for now) have been (nearly) doubled. Double the single-core performance and about 1.5x multicore performance as opposed to the previous node.

Here are the benchmark results from fullnodeupdate@fullnodeupdate (sourced from ausbitbank@ausbitbank's hive.ausbit.dev) alas, the only benchmark that the server fails (and others do too) is get_config, which I still couldn't really wrap my head around as to why.

That's all for today! Hopefully, the node should perform even better than before.


Thank you for reading through the post.
