This workload generate similar results and contentions in AIM7 fserver workload but can generate outputs within seconds. With the creat system call the contention vary on what locks are used in the particular file system. I have ran this benchmark only on ext4 and xfs file system. Running the creat workload on ext4 show contention in the mutex lock that is used by ext4_orphan_add() and ext4_orphan_del() to add or delete an inode from the list of inodes. At the same time running the creat workload on xfs show contention in the spinlock that is used by xsf_log_commit_cil() to commit a transaction to the Committed Item List. Here is a comparison of this benchmark with AIM7 running fserver workload at 500-1000 users along with a perf trace running on ext4 file system. Test machine is a 8-sockets 80 cores Westmere system HT-off on v3.17-rc6.
