Subject: cpu affinity and lmbench - ac and mjc
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 14:42:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020717184230.GA11256@rushmore> (raw)

LMbench shows some differences several local 
communication, local bandwidth, and context switch 
metrics between 2.4.19-pre10-ac2 and 2.4.19-pre10-mjc1.

The latency/bandwidth differences are similar to
2.4.19-pre10aa2 and 2.4.19-jam2, but bigger.  

In trying to isolate the differences in the aa/jam
series, it appeared the irqrate/irqbalance in jam2
was the differentiating factor.  

mjc1 and ac2 are similar to jam/aa. mjc1 is a patchset
to ac2.  mjc1 doesn't include irqrate/irqbalance though.

I ran ac2 with 1 cpu enabled on a quad xeon to get a
better idea of how processor affinity affects lmbench.

Analysis of mjc1, ac2, and ac2 with 1 cpu is here:

comments, suggestions welcome.
