not good.
So far all the tests have been around CPU. The general trend seems
to be:
- sendfile + ZC good for CPU
- write() + ZC not good for CPU
(i might have forgotten something from Andrew's results).
This happens (even with my bogus cpu measure) to be similar.
That seems to be explainable.
** I reported that there was also an oddity in throughput values,
unfortunately since no one (other than me) seems to have access
to a gige cards in the ZC list, nobody can confirm or disprove
what i posted. Here again as a reminder:
Kernel | tput | sender-CPU | receiver-CPU |
-------------------------------------------------
2.4.0-pre3 | 99MB/s | 87% | 23% |
NSF | | | |
-------------------------------------------------
2.4.0-pre3 | 86MB/s | 100% | 17% |
SF | | | |
-------------------------------------------------
2.4.0-pre3 | 66.2 | 60% | 11% |
+ZC | MB/s | | |
-------------------------------------------------
2.4.0-pre3 | 68 | 8% | 8% |
+ZC SF | MB/s | | |
-------------------------------------------------
Just ignore the CPU readings, focus on throughput. And could someone plese
post results?
cheers,
jamal
