HW Setup:
CPU: AMD EPYC 7401 24c/48t x 2
RAM: 128GB RAM
Storage: HDD for dom0, SSDs for VMs
SW Setup:
Xen base 4c7e478d597b0346eef3a256cfd6794ac778b608
32 VMs
6 VPCUs per VM
3.5GB RAM per VM
7.5GB disk per VM
Results:
kernbench:
half -> -j vpcu/2 = one job per host thread
quad -> -j vpcu*4 = two VMs per host thread,
four jobs per VM VCPU
pi:
03 -> 3 in parallel = one pi per host thread
24 -> 24 in parallel = two VMs per host thread,
four pis per VM VCPU
Kernbench: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/utils/benchmark/kernbench-0.42/kernbench
pi: based off of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4084571/implementing-the-spigot-algorithm-for-%CF%80-pi
but with yields and 10ns sleeps added in.
Between the current usage of pause filtering counter, there's about an
~.5% improve in performance. While this isn't huge, all that's
required is to write a value in the VMCB.
