Hi everybody:
I recently work with mpi on FBSD 6.2 and Centos 4.4 on the same hardware.
2 Woodcrest dual core 3Ghz
2 GB RAM.
150 GB SATA disc.
etc, etc.
My tests, about network and hard disk transfers, say Centos is faster
than FBSD.
My questions are, how can tunning FBSD to upgrade the performance for
clustering?. And why Centos do have better performance?.
NOTE: The two tests on the fbsd was better are floating point
operations and recursitivity, i was impresed with a better managing of
it.
Don't count out 7-CURRENT. It's basically frozen now awaiting release sometime
within the next couple months and is much better at dealing with concurrency
than 6.2, in particular if you use the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD
scheduler.
Latest copies of 7-CURRENT also include gcc 4.2.1 which is a lot better than
gcc 3.4.2 with later edition processors (like the Woodcrest Xeons for
instance), with dealing with larger processor caches IIRC.
There may be some things though in Linux which do run faster though, but please
remember that performance is a function of many different factors, and your
experience may vary from others who've done experiments before you.
Cheers,
