But if you're building a cluster of machines where you'd want to
squeeze the last ounce of performance out of your machines and care
that the kernel uses as much of the hardware features (CPU instruction
sets, NUMA, SMP both logical and true) then the best bet is using a
kernel built for performance and with innovation in mind: Linux.
i dont really care if the scheduler, memory management, network stack,
filesystem is superior of one another... those are only part of the whole
equation of an operating system.... what i care is the overall performance,
stability, reliability and security of a given OS during heavy loads...
enterprise companies knows that because it translates to revenue when those
four are met and translate to losses when those four arent met...
bsd are more tunable than linux in their operating system... there are
tunable parameters in bsd that you cant find in linux to make your system
responsive with processes, its networking , filesystem, etc... bsd by
default... those tunable parameters are conservative value... if you want to
squeeze or know its power... know those tunable parameters...
fooler.
