Subject: vhost net on 10ge with x2apic
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:07:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091229140743.GC10234@redhat.com> (raw)
Got hold of some 10Ge cards and did some light benchmarking of kvm networking
with and without vhost net accelerator, while enabling x2apic emulation.
I've put a summary of results here:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/VhostNet#Performance
Main conclusions: vhost net improves latency (a lot) and bandwidth/cpu
utilization (less). With x2apic and a recent guest, virtio userspace
has decent bandwidth but high latency and cpu utilization. vhost net
bandwidth can get very close to native bandwidth (95%).
We still have work to do tuning virtio guest drivers.
