Here are the results from kernbench.

[...]
can we agree like, for kernbench 1x= -j (2*#vcpu) in 1 vm.
1.5x = -j (2*#vcpu) in 1 vm and -j (#vcpu) in other.. and so on.
also a SPIN_THRESHOLD of 4k?
Please forget about 1.5x above. I am not too sure on that.
Any ideas on benchmarks is welcome from all.
My run for other benchmarks did not have Rik's patches, so re-spinning
everything with that now.
Here is the detailed info on env and benchmark I am currently trying.
Let me know if you have any comments
=======
kernel 3.5.0-rc1 with Rik's Ple handler fix as base
Machine : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X7560 @ 2.27GHz, 4 numa node, 256GB RAM,
32 core machine
Host: enterprise linux gcc version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)
(GCC) with test kernels
Guest: fedora 16 with different built-in kernel from same source tree.
32 vcpus 8GB memory. (configs not changed with patches except for
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCK)
Note: for Pv patches, SPIN_THRESHOLD is set to 4k
Benchmarks:
1) kernbench: kernbench-0.50
cmd:
echo "3" > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
ccache -C
kernbench -f -H -M -o 2*vcpu
Very first run in kernbench is omitted.
2) dbench: dbench version 4.00
cmd: dbench --warmup=30 -t 120 2*vcpu
3) hackbench:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=hackbench&project=benchmark
hackbench.c modified with loops=10000
used hackbench with num-threads = 2* vcpu
4) Specjbb: specjbb2000-1.02
Input Properties:
ramp_up_seconds = 30
measurement_seconds = 120
forcegc = true
starting_number_warehouses = 1
increment_number_warehouses = 1
ending_number_warehouses = 8
5) sysbench: 0.4.12
sysbench --test=oltp --db-driver=pgsql prepare
sysbench --num-threads=2*vcpu --max-requests=100000 --test=oltp
--oltp-table-size=500000 --db-driver=pgsql --oltp-read-only run
Note that driver for this pgsql.
6) ebizzy: release 0.3
cmd: ebizzy -S 120
- specjbb ran for 1x and 2x others mostly for 1x, 2x, 3x overcommit.
- overcommit of 2x means same benchmark running on 2 guests.
- sample for each overcommit is mostly 8
Note: I ran kernbench with old kernbench0.50, may be I can try kcbench
with ramfs if necessary
will soon come with detailed results
