ResourcesWorking references

The sources I check
before accepting the claim.

This is a working directory, not a general recommendation list. I include a source when it helps define a test, reproduce the work or interpret a result.

On this site

Practical references and the complete field-note archive.

Reference

Useful Linux commands

Bounded FIO, SMART and legacy SSH examples, with the safety checks that matter before they are run.

Field notes

The complete archive in publication order, including investigations that do not yet belong to a larger series.

Storage

Storage field notes

A curated starting point for NVMe, NVMe-oF, SPDK and S3 work, including the operational boundaries around each test.

GPU / Series 01

AMD Strix Halo GPU & local AI

The ongoing investigation: establish the baseline, compare runtimes, check model fit, verify correctness and then run for long enough to expose stability problems.

Code

GitHub

Public code and data used in the work, plus the implementation, release and source material behind it.

Storage & systems

Primary sources for the storage work.

Specification

NVM Express

I use the specifications to check namespace, format and NVMe-over-Fabrics behaviour rather than relying on a summary.

Framework

SPDK

The primary source for release-specific APIs, configuration and user-space storage behaviour.

Storage

Ceph

Current Ceph documentation, checked against the version and behaviour of the system being discussed.

HPC storage

DAOS

A useful comparison when the workload and architecture move beyond conventional block or file storage.

Benchmarking

FIO

The workload generator and reference used to define exactly what an I/O number represents.

Community

IO500

Community results and methodology for comparing high-performance storage without losing the test context.

Local AI

Start with the runtime and silicon documentation, then measure.
