High CPU utilization on Windows Guest OS with random write workload when using Cinder Volume (libgfapi)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I am currently testing running Openstack instance on Cinder volume with libgfapi. This instance is the Windows instance and i found that when running random 4k write workload, the CPU utilization is very high,  90% CPU utilization with about 86% in privileged time. I also tested the workload with volume from NFS and the CPU utilization is only around 5%. Is there any reason why is that so? Appreciate on any comments and suggestions.

Details.

Workload generator: IOMeter
Instance: Windows 2008R2
Openstack Host: CentOS 7
Workload: 4kb random write, 4 workers with each worker configure to have 4 outstanding IOs
Gluster server and client version: 3.7.8
