=0D=0AHello Cheng,

 Of course. We did benchmarking using the Xdd tool like follows:

# xdd -op write -kbytes $kbytes -reqsize $reqsize -dio-passes 2 =E2=80=93ve=
rbose -target $target_device

 where

$kbytes =3D data disks * size of disk
$reqsize=3D data disks * chunk size
$target_device =3D /dev/md0

 This way we did write of full array size, and thus achieved the=20
maximum performance.

 The test cases were RAID-6 built on the top of 14 S-ATA drives=20
connected to 2 LSI cards (7+7) inserted into the 800 MHz Katmai board=20
(based on ppc440spe) equipped with 4GB of 800 MHz DRAM .

 Here are the results (Psw - write throughput with s/w RAID-6; Phw -=20
write throughput with the h/w accelerated RAID-6):

 PAGE_SIZE=3D4KB, chunk=3D64/128/256 KB
        Psw =3D 71/72/74 MBps
        Phw =3D 128/136/139 MBps

 PAGE_SIZE=3D16KB, chunk=3D256/512/1024 KB
        Psw =3D 81/81/82 MBps
        Phw =3D 205/244/239 MBps

 PAGE_SIZE=3D64KB, chunk=3D1024/2048/4096 KB
        Psw =3D 84/84/85 MBps
        Phw =3D 258/253/258 MBps

 PAGE_SIZE=3D256KB, chunk=3D4096/8192/16384 KB
        Psw =3D 81/83/83 MBps
        Phw =3D 288/275/274 MBps
