Please use fio instead of dd for any serious performance measurements. dd doesn't even guarantee that it's buffers are page aligned.
I don't have "disable-frequency-scaling" on rhel6, but I think if I send SIGUSR1 to all the cpuspeed processes, this does the same thing.
Depends on which scaling governor and minimum frequency has been configured. This is what I am using:
#!/bin/bash for d in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq do if [ -e "$d/scaling_governor" ]; then echo "userspace" >"$d/scaling_governor" echo "$(<$d/cpuinfo_max_freq)" >"$d/scaling_min_freq" fi done And the test I ran is: fio --bs=4096 --ioengine=libaio --rw=randread --buffered=0 --thread \ --numjobs=${cpucount} --iodepth=16 --iodepth_batch=8 \ --iodepth_batch_complete=8 \ --loops=$((2**31)) --runtime=60 --group_reporting --size=${size} \ --gtod_reduce=1 --name=${dev} --filename=${dev} --invalidate=1 Bart. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
