Also,
we've run the OSDL dbt-2 workload on a 4-cpu machine,
(PIII @700mhz x4 w/3GB RAM Qlogic 2200 FC card)
using
linux-2.5.62 + flock() fix (plm patch id#1567)
- disk using qlogicfc driver
linux-2.5.62-mm1 + flock() fix (plm patch id#1567)
- disk using isp (new) driver
Results and bunch o' numbers at:
http://www.osdl.org/archive/cliffw/flock/flock-mm1
http://www.osdl.org/archive/cliffw/flock/flock-62
Caveats: This data is one run from each kernel,
results from repeated runs may vary, harmful or fatal if
swallowed. Merge of plm 1567 w/-mm1 performed by unskilled
labor. We have *not* tested this on the several other
wierdasp SCSI devices in house, more results maybe.
Quick observations:
DBT numbers are about the same (+/- 10%), but vmstat differs:
- There are certainly tunables, especially in /proc/vm/sys
that we haven't tried yet. Any suggestions on tunables
most appreciated.
- more procssess are runing w/-mm1 in each sample..
- this a cached run, io occurs mostly during load, except for db log io
If you want some numbers Right Now, these are from the midpoint
of each run, full files at above web link:
