Sigh, well I did run some benchmarks on a machine on our grid, but none
seem to be giving useful or consistent results. Unixbench results are
attached in the following files:
unixbench results:
elm3b165.nohijack.1: result of './Run 1' on plain 2.6.27-rc1
elm3b165.nohijack.4: result of './Run 4' on plain 2.6.27-rc1
elm3b165.withhijack.1: result of './Run 1' on 2.6.27-rc1 with hijack
patch
elm3b165.withhijack.4: result of './Run 4' on 2.6.27-rc1 with hijack
patch
I suppose I could have automated these to get more runs, but as it is
the results seem meaningless to me.
I also ran dbench and tbench. All tbench instances were with
5 clients, all dbench with 4 clients. I ran both dbench and tbench 10
times on each kernel, and here are the mean throughput +/- 95% confidence
interval:
Plain 2.6.27-rc1 kernel:
tbench: 520.355900 +/- 17.104307
dbench: 671.337900 +/- 146.785891
2.6.27-rc1 with hijack:
tbench: 523.213300 +/- 19.726943
dbench: 437.324400 +/- 169.086289
The tbench ones are solidly within the confidence bounds. The dbench
results aren't really believable. Cron wasn't running on the machine,
and nothing else *should* have been, but alas I don't own the machine
so don't know what could have been running.
thanks,
