Warning: This is an insanely long mail and there a lot of data here. Get coffee or something. This is another round of comparisons between the latest released versions of each of three automatic numa balancing trees that are out there. >From the series "Automatic NUMA Balancing V5", the kernels tested were stats-v5r1 Patches 1-10. TLB optimisations, migration stats thpmigrate-v5r1 Patches 1-37. Basic placement policy, PMD handling, THP migration etc. adaptscan-v5r1 Patches 1-38. Heavy handed PTE scan reduction delaystart-v5r1 Patches 1-40. Delay the PTE scan until running on a new node If I just say balancenuma, I mean the "delaystart-v5r1" kernel. The other kernels are included so you can see the impact the scan rate adaption patch has and what that might mean for a placement policy using a proper feedback mechanism. The other two kernels were numacore-20121123 It was no longer clear what the deltas between releases and the dependencies might be so I just pulled tip/master on November 23rd, 2012. An earlier pull had serious difficulties and the patch responsible has been dropped since. This is not a like-with-like comparison as the tree contains numerous other patches but it's the best available given the timeframe autonuma-v28fast This is a rebased version of Andrea's autonuma-v28fast branch with Hugh's THP migration patch on top. Hopefully Andrea and Hugh will not mind but I took the liberty of publishing the result as the mm-autonuma-v28fastr4-mels-rebase branch in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma.git I'm treating stats-v5r1 as the baseline as it has the same TLB optimisations shared between balancenuma and numacore. As I write this I realise this may not be fair to autonuma depending on how it avoids flushing the TLB. I'm not digging into that right now, Andrea might comment. All of these tests were run unattended via MMTests. Any errors in the methodology would be applied evenly to all kernels tested. There were monitors running but *not* profiling for the reported figures. All tests were actually run in pairs, with and without profiling but none of the profiles are included, nor have I looked at any of them yet. The heaviest active monitor reads numa_maps every 10 seconds and is only read one per address space and reused by all threads. This will affect peak values because it means the monitors contend on some of the same locks the PTE scanner does for example. If time permits, I'll run a no-monitor set. Lets start with the usual autonumabench.

It improves on the baseline but it does not know how to interleave for this type of workload. For the other workloads that are friendlier to NUMA, the three trees are roughly comparable in terms of elapsed time. There is not multiple runs because it takes too long but there is a strong chance we are within the noise of each other for the other workloads. Where we differ is in system CPU usage. In all cases, numacore uses more system CPU. It is likely it is compensating better for this overhead with better placement. With this higher overhead it ends up with a tie on everything except the adverse workload. Take NUMA01_THREADLOCAL as an example -- numacore uses roughly 4 times more system CPU than either autonuma or balancenuma. autonumas cost could be hidden in kernel threads but that's not true for balancenuma.

For balancenuma, note what the scan adaption does to the number of PTE updates and the number of faults incurred. A policy may not necessarily like this. It depends on its requirements but if it wants higher PTE scan rates it will have to compensate for it. Next is the specjbb.

multi JVM case well with numerous regressions for lower number of threads. It starts improving as it gets closer to the expected peak of 12 warehouses for this configuration. There are also large variances between the different JVMs throughput but note again that this improves as the number of warehouses increase. autonuma generally does very well in terms of throughput but the variance between JVMs is massive. balancenuma does reasonably well and improves upon the baseline kernel. It's no longer regressing for small numbers of warehouses and is basically the same as mainline. As the number of warehouses increases, it shows some performance improvement and the variances are not too bad.

The peak performance regresses 11.25% from the baseline kernel. However as it improves with the number of warehouses, specjbb reports that it sees a 0.52% because it's using a range of peak values. autonuma sees an 18.72% performance gain at its peak and a 33.83% gain in its specjbb score. balancenuma does reasonably well with a 5.2% gain at its peak and 11.78% on its overall specjbb score.

Migration stats are not available for numacore or autonuma and the migration stats available for balancenuma here are not reliable because it's not accounting for THP properly.

Note that once again it improves as the number of warehouses increase. SpecJBB reports based on peaks so this will be missed if only the peak figures are quoted in other benchmark reports. autonuma again does pretty well although it's variances between JVMs is nuts. Without THP, balancenuma shows small regressions for small numbers of warehouses but recovers to show decent performance gains. Note that the gains vary a lot between warehouses because it's completely at the mercy of the default scheduler decisions which are getting no hints about NUMA placement.

Here the stats balancenuma reports are useful because we're only dealing with base pages. balancenuma migrates 38MB/second which is really high. Note what the scan rate adaption did to that figure. Without scan rate adaption it's at 78MB/second on average which is nuts. Average migration rate is something we should keep an eye on. >From here, we're onto the single JVM configuration. I suspect this is tested much more commonly but note that it behaves very differently to the multi JVM configuration as explained by Andrea (http://choon.net/forum/read.php?21,1599976,page=4). A concern with the single JVM results as reported here is the maximum number of warehouses. In the Multi JVM configuration, the expected peak was 12 warehouses so I ran up to 18 so that the tests could complete in a reasonable amount of time. The expected peak for a single JVM is 48 (the number of CPUs) but the configuration file was derived from the multi JVM configuration so it was restricted to running up to 18 warehouses. Again, the reason was so it would complete in a reasonable amount of time but specjbb does not give a score for this type of configuration and I am only reporting on the 1-18 warehouses it ran for. I've reconfigured the 4 specjbb configs to run a full config and it'll run over the weekend.

I'll a full range over the weekend and report back. If time permits, I'll also run a "monitors disabled" run case the read of numa_maps every 10 seconds is crippling it. autonuma did reasonably well and was showing larger gains towards teh 18 warehouses mark. balancenuma regressed a little initially but was doing quite well by 18 warehouses.

It is very likely that it was not able to handle faults at a PMD level due to the lack of THP and I would expect that the pages within a PMD boundary are not on the same node so pmd_numa is not set. This results in its worst case of always having to deal with PTE faults. Further, it must be migrating many or almost all of these because the adaptscan patch made no difference. This is a worst-case scenario for balancenuma. The scan rates later will indicate if that was the case. autonuma did ok in that it was roughly comparable with mainline. Small regressions. I do not know how to describe numacores figures. Lets go with "not great". Maybe it would have gotten better if it ran all the way up to 48 warehouses or maybe the numa_maps reading is really kicking it harder than it kicks autonuma or balancenuma. There is also the possibility that there is some other patch in tip/master that is causing the problems.

Note that adaptscan made very little difference to the number of PTEs updated. This very strongly implies that the scan rate is not being reduced as many of the NUMA faults are resulting in a migration. This could be hit with a hammer by always decreasing the scan rate on every fall but it would be a really really blunt hammer. As before, note that there was no THP activity because it was disabled.

Despite the fact that most of the processes are short-lived, they are still living longer than 1 second and being scheduled on another node which triggers the PTE scanner. Note how adaptscan affects the number of PTE updates as it reduces the scan rate. Note too how delaystart reduces it further because PTE scanning is postponed until the task is scheduled on a new node.

It may be that as the thread counts grow it simply becomes more likely it gets scheduled on another node and starts up even though it is not memory intensive. I could avoid firing the PTE scanner if the processes RSS is low I guess but that feels hacky.

Some good results, some great, some bad results, some disastrous. Of course this is for only one machine and other machines might report differently. I've outlined what other factors could impact the results and will re-run tests if there is a complaint about one of them. I'll keep my overall comments to balancenuma. I think it did pretty well overall. It generally was an improvement on the baseline kernel and in only one case did it heavily regress (specjbb, single JVM, no THP). Here it hit its worst-case scenario of always dealing with PTE faults, almost always migrating and not reducing the scan rate. I could try be clever about this, I could ignore it or I could hit it with a hammer. I have a hammer.
