Description
System Requirements page is important, but currently contains information that could be rather confusing:
- The golden 1:2:4 ratio is mentioned in the root of the Minimum Hardware Requirements section and partially discusses CPU, memory and storage.
- The ration application examples mention CPU cores and memory only missing the storage requirements
- It is not clear what to do when some hardware aspect becomes a bottleneck, e.g. having not enough RAM for CPU cores
- CPU is also discussed in Hyperthreading sub-section of Minimum Hardware Requirements
- CPU clock is discussed in Clock Speeds sub-section of Hardware Selection section
- Lack of GPU support is mentioned several times: once in the root of Minimum Hardware Requirements section along with ASIC and FPGA and then in a dedicated Graphics Cards (GPUs) sub-section
- Guidance never introduces the concept of a worker, so it is not clear what the ratio applies to and what should be limited in case of bottlenecks
- Logical cores concept could be enhanced with examples or replaced with threads to let node operators apply it to the available CPU specs (e.g. 8C/16T core-thread spec is common)
We could consider speaking separately about key hardware such as CPU, memory and disk, while dedicating a separate section to cover workers with golden ratios.
