I am still stuck on 2.2 because of this issue.

RE: aic7xxx (and sym53c8xx) plans
All of my boxes with that card are on 2.2.16. The rest are on 2.4.1, so I don't really have a need to test 2.2.18 as I would rather be on 2.4.x for all of my boxes. -Matt > -Original Message- > From: Justin T.

RE: linux 2.2.19pre and thttpd (VM-global problem?)
I wouldn't use cheap single CPU/NIC machines in the real world. Certainly a cluster of smaller machines does better then one big machine, but that doesn't mean you should use too small of a machine. Remember that as the number of cluster nodes goes up the cluster becomes a management problem. I would use a cluster of dual CPU/NIC machines instead. This gives you the benefits of SMP machines along with the benefits of clusters. It should also allow your cluster to handle more load with less nodes then single CPU/NIC machines. With that being said Linux is proving me wrong in the real world. Our application server is dependant on pthreads (really just cloned process) and as such doesn't scale well with Linux 2.2 on a dual CPU machine. Our benchmarks show that we can handle more load on a single CPU machine then a dual CPU one with Linux 2.2. However, it is encouraging to see that the situation is reversed when using Linux 2.4. -Matt > -Original Message- > From: Andi Kleen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 11:14 AM > To: Andrea Arcangeli > Cc: Alan Cox; Petru Paler; Jure Pecar; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: linux 2.2.19pre and thttpd (VM-global problem?) > > > On Fri, Dec 29, 2000 at 08:06:57PM +0100, Andrea Arcangeli wrote: > > On Fri, Dec 29, 2000 at 06:50:18PM +, Alan Cox wrote: > > > Your cgi will keep the other CPU occupied, or run two of > them. thttpd has > > > superb scaling properties compared to say apache. > > > > I think with 8 CPUs and 8 NICs (usual benchmark setup) you > want more than 1 cpu > > That's a good benchmark setup when the benchmark requires a > single machine. > > In the real world it often makes a lot of sense though to use > a cluster > of cheap single CPU machines behind a load balancer (gives > you better fault > tolerance and is likely cheaper) > > For these thttpd is a nice web server. > > -Andi > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe > linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
