(Or is there nobody left to care?)Christoph, I have access to a 640p system for a couple more weeks if there's anything you'd like me to check out.Boot with 2.6.32 and see if the per cpu allocator works. Check if there are any changes to memory consumption. Create a few thousand virtual ethernet devices and see if the system keels over.
Any advice on how to go about the above would be helpful... ;-)
It may also be good to run some scheduler test. Compare AIM9 of latest SLES with 2.6.32. Concurrent page fault test? Then a performance test with lots of concurrency but the usual stuff wont work since HPC apps usually pin.
I'm doing some aim7/9 comparisons right now between SPARSE and DISCONTIG memory configs using sles11 + 2.6.32. Which other benchmarks would you recommend for the other tests?
Run latencytest (available in the lldiag package) from kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/lldiag and see how the disturbances by the OS are changed.
I'll put that on the list. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
