User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.3i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1927 Lines: 44 WimMark I report for 2.5.64-mm4 Runs with anticipatory scheduler: 1066.70 1291.23 Runs with deadline scheduler: 1655.77 1594.73 1610.91 WimMark I is a rough benchmark we have been running here at Oracle against various kernels. Each run tests an OLTP workload on the Oracle database with somewhat restrictive memory conditions. This reduces in-memory buffering of data, allowing for more I/O. The I/O is read and sync write, random and seek-laden. The benchmark is called "WimMark I" because it has no official standing and is only a relative benchmark useful for comparing kernel changes. The benchmark is normalized an arbitrary kernel, which scores 1000.0. All other numbers are relative to this. The machine in question is a 4 way 700 MHz Xeon machine with 2GB of RAM. CONFIG_HIGHMEM4GB is selected. The disk accessed for data is a 10K RPM U2W SCSI of similar vintage. The data files are living on an ext3 filesystem. Unless mentioned, all runs are on this machine (variation in hardware would indeed change the benchmark). -- "You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln Joel Becker Senior Member of Technical Staff Oracle Corporation E-mail: joel.becker@oracle.com Phone: (650) 506-8127 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
