Re: performance in a small cluster

Hi Robert

1) Can you specify how many threads were used in the 4k write rados test ? i suspect that only 16 threads were used, this is because it is the default + also the average latency was 2.9 ms giving average of 344 iops per thread, your average iops were 5512 divide this by 344 we get 16.02. If this is the case then this is too low, you have 12 OSDs, you need to use 64 or 128 threads to get a couple of threads on each OSD to stress it. use the -t option to specify the thread count. Also better if you can run more than 1 client process + preferably from different hosts and get the total iops.

2) The read latency you see of 0.4 ms is good. The write latency of 2.9 ms is not very good but not terrible: a fast all flash bluestore system should give around 1 to 1.5 ms write latency (ie from around 600 to 1000 iops per thread), some users are able to go below 1 ms but it is not easy.  Disk model as well as tuning your cpu c states and p states frequency will help reduce latency, there are several topics in this mailing list that goes into this in great detail + search for a presentation by Nick Fisk.

3) Running a simple tool like atop while doing the tests can also reveal a lot on where bottlenecks are, % utilization of disks and cpu are important. However i expect that if you were using 16 threads only, they will not be highly utilized as the dominant factor would be latency as noted earlier.

Hi,

we have a small cluster at a customer's site with three nodes and 4 SSD-OSDs each.
Connected with 10G the system is supposed to perform well.

rados bench shows ~450MB/s write and ~950MB/s read speeds with 4MB objects but only 20MB/s write and 95MB/s read with 4KB objects.

This is a little bit disappointing as the 4K performance is also seen in KVM VMs using RBD.

Is there anything we can do to improve performance with small objects / block sizes?
