hi, I did some testing an a supermicro 2 x 4 core xeon server under 64bit "7.0-STABLE #1: Fri Jul 4". when we first tested the system under load (2000 apache threads) the system performed bad compare to other dual core systems under the same workload.
the 8 core system had 0% idle time and almost 100% system load. I could not find out what the load was. disk IO was close to zero during that time. because of that I checked the sysbench results with this test: sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --mysql-user=root \ --max-requests=0 --max-time=60 --oltp-read -only=on --num-threads=$1 run here are the sysbench results: - 1 thread -------------------------------------------------------- OLTP test statistics: queries performed: read: 354774 write: 0 other: 50682 total: 405456 transactions: 25341 (422.34 per sec.) deadlocks: 0 (0.00 per sec.) read/write requests: 354774 (5912.82 per sec.) other operations: 50682 (844.69 per sec.) - 8 threads ------------------------------------------------------- OLTP test statistics: queries performed: read: 145166 write: 0 other: 20738 total: 165904 transactions: 10369 (172.75 per sec.) deadlocks: 0 (0.00 per sec.) read/write requests: 145166 (2418.54 per sec.) other operations: 20738 (345.51 per sec.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- during the 8 thread test "top" looks like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- last pid: 30104; load averages: 2.50, 0.65, 0.52 up 0+01:49:44 17:52:14 69 processes: 7 running, 62 sleeping CPU: 5.6% user, 0.0% nice, 64.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 30.4% idle Mem: 44M Active, 296M Inact, 277M Wired, 84K Cache, 214M Buf, 15G Free Swap: 16G Total, 16G Free ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- software versions used: - mysql-server-5.1.25 - sysbench-0.4.8 any ideas what I should look for or what to change?
