Everpure tops SPECstorage Solution 2020 AI IMAGE benchmark charts

Everpure has overtaken an HPE/WEKA system to take top position in the SPECstorage Solution 2020 AI Image benchmark, scoring 6,300 AI jobs using its FlashBLade//EXA system versus the HPE/WEKA system’s 5,000.

The SPECstorage Solutions 2020 benchmark is a Storage Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) validated test of file storage performance in five workload scenarios: 

• AI image processing - representative of AI Tensorflow image processing environments, 
• Electronic Design Automation (EDA), 
• Genomics, 
• Software Builds, 
• Video Data Acquisition (VDA). 

Each workload results include jobs or builds, ORT (Overall Response Time), and other measures detailed in a supplier’s submission on the benchmark’s results webpage. 

WEKA took the number one position in all five component test scenarios using HPE PCIe Gen 5 hardware in February 2025.

Now Everpure, focussing specifically on the AI image processing test, has beaten it with a FlashBlade//EXA system, based on a disaggregated system architecture. 

Everpure wins on the AI-Jobs count but WEKA is better on the ORT measure.
