Non-volatile Storage: CPUs no longer more performant than I/O devices

Re:Non-volatile Storage: CPUs no longer more performant than... by sgt101 on Wednesday January 06, 2016 @03:16PM (#10853397)

I have just bought a machine with one of these drives and a bunch of GPU's with the intent of running tensor-flow on it. Do you think that Fedora will allow for the kind of tuning you describe or should I stick with Centos? I was thinking that I would need Fedora because these new devices need new kernels and drivers and so on, but maybe I am just confused?

I would guess give Fedora a try or whatever GPU drivers support better.

CentOS / RHEL as a rule is behind as far as package versions in order to be more stable. But they do bring in new drivers and back-port many fixes and packages.

Most of the stuff that applies to CentOS will apply to Fedora as well as a rule.

Fedora and centos are effectively the same OS with different release goals. You should be able to do anything on either unless you need truly cutting edge.
