Adding 4 workloads test results for Core Scheduling v8:
- kernel under test: coresched community v8 from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git/log/?h=coresched-v5.9
- workloads:
-- A. sysbench cpu (192 threads) + sysbench cpu (192 threads)
-- B. sysbench cpu (192 threads) + sysbench mysql (192 threads, mysqld forced into the same cgroup)
-- C. uperf netperf.xml (192 threads over TCP or UDP protocol separately)
-- D. will-it-scale context_switch via pipe (192 threads)
- test machine setup:
CPU(s): 192
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-191
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 48
Socket(s): 2
NUMA node(s): 4
- test results:
-- workload A, no obvious performance drop in cs_on:
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| | ** | sysbench cpu * 192 | sysbench mysql * 192 |
+======================+======+======================+========================+
| cgroup | ** | cg_sysbench_cpu_0 | cg_sysbench_mysql_0 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| record_item | ** | Tput_avg (events/s) | Tput_avg (events/s) |

| default_normalized | ** | 1 | 1 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| smtoff_normalized | ** | 0.59 | 0.82 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
-- workload B, no obvious performance drop in cs_on:
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| | ** | sysbench cpu * 192 | sysbench cpu * 192 |
+======================+======+======================+========================+
| cgroup | ** | cg_sysbench_cpu_0 | cg_sysbench_cpu_1 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+

+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| default_normalized | ** | 1 | 1 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
| smtoff_normalized | ** | 0.6 | 0.6 |
+----------------------+------+----------------------+------------------------+
-- workload C, known performance drop in cs_on since Core Scheduling v6:
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| | ** | uperf netperf TCP * 192 | uperf netperf UDP * 192 |
+======================+======+===========================+===========================+
| cgroup | ** | cg_uperf | cg_uperf |
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| record_item | ** | Tput_avg (Gb/s) | Tput_avg (Gb/s) |
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| coresched_normalized | ** | 0.46 | 0.48 |
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| default_normalized | ** | 1 | 1 |
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| smtoff_normalized | ** | 0.82 | 0.79 |
+----------------------+------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
-- workload D, new added syscall workload, performance drop in cs_on:
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
| | ** | will-it-scale * 192 |
| | | (pipe based context_switch) |
+======================+======+===============================+
| cgroup | ** | cg_will-it-scale |
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
| record_item | ** | threads_avg |
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
| coresched_normalized | ** | 0.2 |
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
| default_normalized | ** | 1 |
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
| smtoff_normalized | ** | 0.89 |
+----------------------+------+-------------------------------+
comments: per internal analyzing, suspected huge amount of spin_lock contention in cs_on, may lead to significant performance drop
- notes on test results record_item:
* coresched_normalized: smton, cs enabled, test result normalized by default value
* default_normalized: smton, cs disabled, test result normalized by default value
* smtoff_normalized: smtoff, test result normalized by default value
