Physical hardware: missed details.

Please include NICs models into https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=environment section as it's one of the most critical components when performing any sort of network benchmarks. Also, please share Linux kernel version, customized sysctl params etc. Thanks.

I'd be happy to include this, at least as a snapshot in time for each official Round. @msmith-techempower who on our side could get me this information?

[DamianEdwards]

This would be great info, along with BIOS version, OS, etc. given our recent efforts to try and ensure our environments match (and apparently failing).

Perhaps we could keep this info in an MD file in this repo and just link to it from the environment section of the public page, in an effort to make it easier to keep up to date. Each round could then just link to an absolute version of the file at the time the round was finalized.

[msmith-techempower]

Gathering this info will be simple for the physical environment, but I'm not sure what we can get on the cloud environment.

[DamianEdwards]

@msmith-techempower for cloud I'd suggest we simply state what VM SKUs are being used.

[msmith-techempower]

@DamianEdwards Makes sense to me.

I thought that this was the right place to mention this - I have changed the h2o implementation, so that it prints the kernel version on start-up. Here is an example from run 0f03793d-ac4c-4869-b1fa-51fcef26d48f.
