Hello, The following shows a comparison between inter server-side copy and a traditional copy. Setup: Client: 16 CPUs, 32GB SRC server: 4 CPUs, 8GB DST server: 4 CPUs, 8GB All machines are running 4.10.0-ssc-02242017.1345, 4.10.0 kernel on top RHEL 7.3 with Olga’s SSC patches 02242017.tgz (asynchronous SSC) Test: The test runs 10 times for each copy size and the average is compared. The servers are mounted and un-mounted for each copy (using default mount options) Testing copy size: 1KB – 4GB, NOTE: the last copy is 4GB-1 bytes, the maximum copy_file_range() accepts. Results: For a copy size below 16MB, traditional copy runs faster than server-side copy For a copy size of 32MB and above, server-side copy is at least 30% faster. For a copy size of 128MB and above, server-side copy is about 50% faster. For the 1GB and 2GB copy sizes, the performance improvement is only about 30-40%, investigating why this is happening. *** Inter-SSC performance test TEST: Running test 'perf02' Performance degradation: INFO: 00:08:50.035165 -
