[ewg] SRP performance in SCST

2008-03-10 Thread Doron Shoham
Hi,

I'm trying to test SRP performance in SCST.

I used the following configuration:
Both, target and initiator are x86-64 machines.
Both have OFED-1.3 GA installed.
The HCAs are 20 Gb/sec (4X DDR).

Target:
Sles 10.
4GB RAM
srpt installed.
SCST installed.

Initiator:
Redhat 5.
2GB RAM.
srp initiator (from OFED) is installed.

On the target I set a virtual device:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/tempfile bs=64k count=100
echo open vdisk0 /tmp/tempfile NULLIO  /proc/scsi_tgt/vdisk/vdisk
echo add vdisk0 0  /proc/scsi_tgt/groups/Default/devices
cat /proc/scsi_tgt/vdisk/vdisk
Name  Size(MB)Block size  Options File name
vdisk01572864 512 NIO /tmp/tempfile


I used the following commands:
for write commands:
sgp_dd of=/dev/sg1 if=/dev/zero bs=512 bpt=from 2-512 thr=8 time=1 count=20M
for read commands
sgp_dd if=/dev/sg1 of=/dev/null bs=512 bpt=from 2-512 thr=8 time=1 count=20M

And the results are (all in MB/s):
bpt:2   4   8   16  32  64  128 256 
512
Write   22.541.480.6160 275 443 570 740 
810
Read42  80  170 313 550 940 12001312
1300


What can be the reason for such difference between the bandwidth of Read and 
Write commands?

Thanks,
Doron

I have tried to use dio but when the bpt was 128 (or higher) I got the 
following error:

echo 1  /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio

sgp_dd if=/dev/sg1 of=/dev/null bs=512 bpt=128 thr=8 time=1 count=5M dio=1

I'm not familiar with the /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio entry. I was
referring to options like iflag=direct or oflag=direct for dd --
all performance tests I have performed in the past were with dd and
xdd. Without direct I/O, read tests use Linux' buffering. If the
amount of data being read is less than the available RAM, buffered I/O
tests only measure how fast Linux can copy data in RAM.

[ewg] OFED meeting agenda for today (March 10)

2008-03-10 Thread Tziporet Koren

OFED meeting agenda:

1. Feedback on OFED 1.3 release
2. Decide on fix release criteria and process (see suggestion below)
3. When do we need to have a new kernel branch for OFED 1.4 (based on
kernel 2.6.25)
4. OFED meeting frequency - do we wish to continue with bi-weekly, or
move to monthly meeting for this period


Fix/point release criteria and process:
---
Changes type:
1. No changes to kernel base (we should stay with 2.6.24)
2. No API changes (both in kernel and in user libs)
3. Low level driver changes - in the responsibility of the HW vendor,
meaning:
   The HW vendor can enhance/fix bugs in the low level driver
   The QA for the change is the responsibility of the HW vendor
4. Core and ULPs: Critical and high priority bug fixes only
5. Add backports to support a new OS (e.g. SLES10 SP2, FC8, etc.)
6. Replace MPI revision - I am not sure here - need MPI people to
respond on this

Release frequency:
1. Every 4-6 weeks (unless a blocker bug arises)

Release verification:
1. All vendors should run at least basic QA/verification cycle
2. If there is a change in a low level driver it's the responsibility of
the HW vendor to run full QA with this HW.
