Subject: 12 way dbench analysis: 2.5.9, dalloc and fastwalkdcache
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 18:18:43 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020418081843.GE4209@krispykreme> (raw)
Hi,
Its about time I took to the kernel with the dbench stick. The following
results were done on a 12 way ppc64 machine with 250MHz cpus. I tested
2.5.9, 2.5.9 with Andrew Morton's dalloc work and Hanna Linder's fast
walk dcache patch. The results can be found at:
http://samba.org/~anton/linux/2.5.9/
A few things to note:
1. On 2.5.9, lru_list_lock contention starts to cut in at 4 cpus.
Andrew's dalloc work gets rid of this bottleneck completely. Its fantastic
stuff!
2. The dcache lock starts to cut in at 6 cpus, and Hanna's patch reduces
the contention a lot.
Things look pretty good right out to 12 way with these patches, I'll try
and get some runs on a larger SMP next.
Anton
