Subject: [REPORT] cfs-v6-rc2 vs sd-0.46 vs 2.6.21-rc7
Hi list,
find below a test comparing
2.6.21-rc7 (mainline)
2.6.21-rc7-sd046
2.6.21-rc7-cfs-v6-rc2(*) (X @ nice 0)
2.6.21-rc7-cfs-v6-rc2(*) (X @ nice -10)
running on a dualcore x86_64.
(*) At the time I started the tests, 2.6.21-rc7-cfs-v6 was not yet
available. I don't know whether the changes from -v6-rc2 would
have had an impact on the results.
The 3 tasks perform extensive computations on some data that is
initially loaded from disk. Each completed run (1711 per task in
total) in saved in a PostgreSQL DB running on the same machine
I do provide actual start and end timestamp of each task.
Each task is run via 'time'; those figures are provided as well.
Last not least the timevalues given from "within" the perl script
are provided by calling the perl builtin function "times" which
(hopefully) gives user time (among other things).
Note that both mainline and cfs did finish the jobs in the order
LTMM, LTMB, LTBM while sd had them finished in the order LTMM,
LTBM, LTMB. Also sd had the shortest time to have all three
finished while cfs was the first to finish LTMM (the fastest of
the three jobs).
I don't really know the reason for these differences:
LTMM, LTMB and LTBM all do similar things though there are differences.
LTMM is indeed the job that involves the least computations but I have
not yet tried to find out in what order of magnitude. I could if that
would be of interest though it would involve extensive analysis and
partly depends on the data processed and I'm not keen to do that.
I have not extensively checked how stable these figures are w/r to
repeated reruns as a single run takes roughly 3h, but I have repeated
one run and that produced basically the same timing.
One remark regarding cfs with X niced to -10 and 0:
I have not really seen much difference in terms of usage experience
between the two. If at all I have the impression that at nice -10
under KDE some apps (namely kontact and the helper it is using) have
a higher probability to actually "take over" the desktop but so far
this is just a vague impression (read: have not been able to reproduce).
On the other hand I have not seen degradations with nice 0 either and
thus my gut feeling prefers cfs nice 0. Thanks to the bootparam
privileged_nice_level=0 this is easy to achieve.
When comparing cfs nice 0 and sd I have not been able to see any
real difference w/r to desktop responsiveness. But then I have not
tried to stresstest the desktop while running the above benchmarks
either.
Anyway, here are the numbers. Feel free to ask whenever something
is unclear. GC2 is the name of the dataset processed.
