Subject: io performance  regression between xen and XCP
Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2010 01:58:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C03F8DB.5010300@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

Hi guys,

We have done the io performance test between xen and XCP, both tested on a
separate disk, and found XCP's regression is very great:

XCP's parameters:
Dom0

Xen's parameters:

Test result:

- direct read/write test:
test command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=1.img oflag=direct bs=256k count=4096
dd if=1.img of=/dev/null iflag=direct bs=256k count=4096

Xen: write: 33.3 MB/s read: 206 MB/s
XCP: write: 18.5 MB/s read: 108 MB/s

- no direct read/write test:
test command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=1.img  bs=256k count=4096
dd if=1.img of=/dev/null  bs=256k count=4096

Xen: write: 319 MB/s read: 85.9 MB/s
XCP: write: 136 MB/s read: 63.8 MB/s

Now, we are very confused about this result :-(
