Hi Steve,
Tried your patchset on ThunderX2 with 2 nodes. Please find my observations below.
Hackbench was run on single node due to variance on 2 nodes and it showed
improvement under load.
Single node hackbench numbers:
group old time new time steals %change
1 6.717 7.275 21 -8.31
2 8.449 9.268 106 -9.69
3 12.035 12.761 173071 -6.03
4 14.648 9.787 595889 33.19
8 22.513 18.329 2397394 18.58
16 39.861 36.263 3949903 9.06
column "new time" shows hackbench runtime in seconds with the patchset.
Tried below benchmarks with 2 nodes, but no performance benefit/degradation was
observed on multiple runs.
- MySQL (read/write/PS etc with sysbench)
- HHVM running oss-performance benchmarks
