So, seems I understood your slides correctly: the more valuable data for
our SCST SRP vs STGT iSER comparison should be on page 26 for 1 command
read (~480MB/s, i.e. ~60% from Bart's result on the equivalent hardware).
At least in my tests SCST performed significantly better than STGT.
These tests were performed with the currently available
implementations of SCST and STGT. Which performance improvements are
possible for these projects (e.g. zero-copying), and by how much is it
expected that these performance improvements will increase throughput
and will decrease latency ?
Sure, zero-copying cache support is well possible for SCST and hopefully
will be available soon. The performance (throughput) improvement will
depend from used hardware and data access pattern, but the upper bound
estimation can be made knowing memory copy throughput on your system
(1.6GB/s according to your measurements). For 10Gbps link with 0.9GB/s
wire speed it should be up to 30%, for 20Gbps link with wire speed
1.5GB/s (PCI-E 8x limitation) - something up to 70-80%.
