Manfred patch has applied over 2.4.13-pre13 and the results are compared over its base vanilla kernel. Our numbers still are %-improvements numbers of patched 2.4.9 kernel vs. 2.4.9 vanilla. Manfred's numbers are added as an additional column. << Bottom-line >> Our patch does better for and benchmark and on low transfer sizes for large Pipe-Buffers. This is only relevant for SMP systems as we have enabled the patch only for SMP. Manfred's patch does better for and beats our patch across configurations. But it lacks even vanilla for more realistic apps. The same observation holds for UP. We have not measured CPU utilization etc. As stated in my earlier message, bw_pipe doesn't have a lot of real applicability, but I am willing to be re-educated here. -- Hubertus PIPE: Buffer Expansion ---------------------- In this we will report on some experimentation to improve Linux pipe performance. There are two basic parameters that govern the Linux pipe implementation. (a) PIPE_SIZE is the size of the pipe buffer. (b) PIPE_BUF is the maximum number of bytes an application can write atomically to the pipe. In the current implementation size of pipe buffer is PAGE_SIZE (most architectures that is 4kB, and the PIPE_BUF is fixed to 4kB (and for ARM=PAGE_SIZE). We wanted to experiment with larger pipe buffer support and higher concurrency of read and writes. Therefore we experimented with the following items: (A) expanding the pipe buffer size from 1 page to 2,4,8 pages. (B) improving the pipe's concurrency of read and write by introducing intermittent activation of pending readers/writers rather than at the end of a pipe transaction (read/write). The PIPE_BUF atomicity constraint is still observed. We therefore introduce the term of a PIPE_SEG which is a multiple of the PAGE_SIZE and determines when to wake up pending readers and writers. Consider the pipe buffer size to be 32k. The space available to write on the pipe is 32k and the data which is coming to be written onto the pipe is also 32k. By keeping the segment size as 4k, write the first 4k of the total 32k data instead of writing the entire 32k data, and inform the reader process that some data is there to be read, and the writer process proceeds with the next 4k. By that time reader process starts reading the available data. Intuitively this should create more concurrency. Throughout this experimentation, we kept the PIPE_BUF (atomicity guarantee) constant at 4kB. Benchmarks ---------- The benchmarks we ran for measuring the performance of pipes are LMBench, Grep, and Pipeflex. The description of these are below. While LMBench is a widely used OS-Benchmark, we found that Grep and Pipeflex model more real applications. All are descripted in more detail below. All applications use different data transfer sizes aka chunk sizes shown as TS. We report on the two aspects of our implementation, i.e. larger pipes and intermittent activations (PIPE_SEG) which is always 4k. All results are shown as % improvement over the baseline kernel (2.4.9) and all these benchmarks are run on a 2-way Pentium II, 333Mhz machine. Results Summary: ================ UP + 1-way SMP: --------------- Neither (A) nor (A)+(B) showed any improvements. Instead degradations of up to 30% are observed. Obviously our approach/patch does not make any sense on the 1-way systems. N-way SMP: ---------- 1. Increasing the pipe buffer size (A) increasingly improves the performance of the Grep benchmark by upto 165% for size 32kB. However, Grep does not show any added benefit nor degradation utilizing (A)+(B), i.e, expanding the pipe buffer size AND introducing the segment size=4kB. 2. For LMBench, (A) alone shows some improvements for small transfer sizes (TS>PIPE_SIZE we observe degradation. Introducing (A)+(B) shows even better improvements for small TS with very small degradations for larger TS. 3. For pipeflex (A) provides increasing benefits with upto 358% improvements, without any loss at the low end. When introducing (A)+(B), the benefits drops but are still substantial. Based on the results it is clear that expansion of PIPE_SIZE AND PIPE_SEG introduction gives better performance for some scenarios. Grep ---- This benchmark measures the time taken to grep for some unexisting pattern on a 50mb file. ie. cat 50mbfile | grep "$$$$". We assume a warm file cache. LMBench ------- LMBench provides a tool to measure the bandwidth of the pipe (bw_pipe). bw_pipe creates pipes between two processes and moves 10MB through the pipe in 64KB chunks. We altered that code by providing the chunk size as a variable input parameter. ie. bw_pipe [2,4,...,32] Pipeflex -------- As LMBench does continuous read and write over the pipe in a synchronous manner (which is not the case in real life), we studied some test cases which uses pipes(grep, wc, sort, gunzip, ..), and based on that we have written this pipeflex benchmark. Here a write process writes smaller chunks continuously and the reader process generates a number between [0.5*r .. 1.5*r] microseconds, and spends that time for computation after each pipe reads. A parent process clones 'c' child processes and 'c/2' pipes such that 2 processes shares one pipe. ie. pipeflex -c 2 -t 20 -r 500 -s 4 c : number of children/threads to launch (should be EVEN) t : time for which each run of the test should be performed. r : microseconds spend in computation after each pipe reads. s : data to transfer over pipe in Kilo bytes. Dynamically assigning values for PIPE_SIZE and PIPE_SEG ------------------------------------------------------- In our current implementation, the size of PIPE_SIZE and PIPE_SEG can be changed dynamically by writing the values into the newly created /proc/sys/fs/pipe-sz file through a string having the following format: Po So where Po is the Pipe size order and So is the Segment size order. Pipe size will be calculated as PIPE_SIZE = (1 << Po) * PAGE_SIZE. Segment size will be calculated as (PIPE_SIZE >> So). Similarly 'Po' and 'So' can be read through the same proc file. * The notation we use in tables for PIPE_SIZE and PIPE_SEG are PS and SS respectively and TS is the Transfer Size over pipe. 2-way (% improvement) Results ============================= Grep ---- PS (A) (A)+(B) Manfred -- --- ------- ------- 4k -0.87 -0.95 39.9 8k 50.84 50.12 16k 107.97 115.86 32k 165.25 164.14 LMBench ------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- ------- 2k -0.3 3.26 4.25 3.83 -0.3 2.98 4.25 4.04 54.1 4k -2.18 18.97 18.59 18.59 -2.18 18.59 18.59 18.59 21.0 6k 0.34 13.08 32.7 49.57 0.3 35.63 39.76 55.94 69.2 8k 0.14 3.02 0 -0.82 13.87 31.59 50.82 75.27 63.2 12k 0.34 -24.09 -18.74 -12.57 0.34 4.4 -14.86 8.23 38.3 16k 1.47 -8.88 -14.16 -16.03 1.4 14.42 9.48 13.86 37.5 24k 1.17 -13.9 1.65 -23.59 1.17 1.65 -2.72 1.2 31.2 32k 0.66 -14.77 -19.83 -25.63 0.66 -3.2 -6.59 -2.92 27.2 64k x x x x x x x x 22.84 128k x x x x x x x x 29.7 Pipeflex -------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- 2k 0.00 0.00 -0.27 -0.27 0.00 -0.27 -0.27 -0.27 -24.1 4k 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 -42.0 6k 1.61 -1.82 11.46 10.28 1.61 -9.53 9.53 6.75 -10.86 8k -2.00 46.20 46.31 46.31 -2.00 -11.08 7.17 23.73 -15.9 12k -2.93 54.13 64.58 93.31 -2.93 51.62 46.08 84.22 -14.9 16k -3.34 49.95 163.09 162.67 -3.34 51.82 45.57 85.92 -14.4 24k -3.56 50.37 135.50 183.46 -3.56 49.95 134.97 144.40 -15.9 32k -1.40 54.99 143.29 358.75 -1.40 55.75 142.32 147.37 -17.7 64k x x x x x x x x -15.01 128k x x x x x x x x -15.14 1-way (% improvement) Results ============================= Grep ---- PS (A) (A)+(B) Manfred -- --- ------- ------- 4k -0.47 -0.47 -49.78 8k 1.9 -2.73 16k -2.73 -2.73 32k 1.9 -2.73 LMBench ------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- ------- 2k 0.49 4.42 -3.88 -10.13 0.49 11.02 -7.68 -12.06 5.91 4k -0.5 -1.08 -22.17 -8.6 -0.5 -0.95 -18.65 -4.86 24.28 6k 3.73 -19.03 -24.23 -18.56 3.73 -15.85 -24.68 -12.44 55.17 8k 0.82 -33.43 -31.92 -30.19 0.82 -34.38 -25.41 -12.81 35.34 12k 1.39 -24.06 -30.67 -27.88 1.39 -24.43 -29.79 -27 20.39 16k -0.87 -29.16 -31.27 -29.73 -0.87 -28.53 -31.97 -28.97 24.8 24k 0.16 -28.79 -31.87 -28.37 0.16 -28.16 -31.61 -28.66 32.72 32k 0.35 -28.91 -30.73 -27.23 0.35 -28.77 -31.6 -28.77 34.89 64k x x x x x x x x 38.7 128k x x x x x x x x 41.6 Pipeflex -------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- ------- 2k 0.00 -0.54 -0.80 -1.07 0.00 -0.54 -0.80 -1.07 -23.66 4k -0.14 -0.69 -1.80 -2.21 -0.14 -1.10 -1.80 -2.49 -41.97 6k -0.19 -0.19 -2.41 -2.02 -0.19 -0.19 -2.12 -1.16 -22.09 8k -0.30 -1.86 -6.41 -6.41 -0.30 -1.19 -3.80 -2.61 -39.97 12k -0.33 -1.43 -4.56 -4.01 -0.33 -1.43 -3.84 -3.51 -55.71 16k -0.18 -1.77 -4.47 -4.56 -0.18 -1.15 -4.78 -3.85 -64.37 24k -0.37 -2.21 -6.94 -5.26 -0.37 -1.51 -6.07 -4.89 -72.98 32k -0.42 -2.98 -7.12 -5.18 -0.42 -1.75 -7.06 -5.77 -77.19 64k x x x x x x x x -82.57 128k x x x x x x x x -84.91 UP (% improvement) Results ========================== Grep ---- PS (A) (A)+(B) Manfred -- --- ------- ------- 4k -0.53 1.61 -53.49 8k -2.58 -1.56 16k -4.55 -4.06 32k -3.08 -4.06 LMBench ------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- ------- 2k 7.38 1.17 -15.28 -18.07 4.18 -0.36 -14.32 -20.55 16.35 4k -1.73 -0.5 -31.7 -26.94 -1.21 5.61 -21.75 -5.17 20.58 6k -0.3 -22.33 -26.78 -23.36 -0.9 -17.31 -29.61 -19.5 73.06 8k 7.8 -35 -33.75 -30.65 1.71 -37.11 -29.45 -18.03 30.43 12k -1.09 -25.99 -36.7 -35.77 0.13 -27.76 -35.56 -34.21 13.78 16k 0.08 -31.39 -35.37 -34.28 1.2 -30.93 -36.18 -34.18 17.47 24k 0.42 -32.06 -36.15 -34.65 0.63 -32.28 -36.82 -34.98 22.03 32k 0.82 -31.52 -35.71 -33.41 1.8 -32.11 -36.49 -34.52 24.87 64k x x x x x x x x 26.66 128k x x x x x x x x 41.27 Pipeflex -------- (A) (A)+(B) --- ------- PS PS TS 4k 8k 16k 32k 4k 8k 16k 32k Manfred -- -- -- --- --- -- -- --- --- ------- 2k -0.27 -0.27 -0.80 -1.06 -0.27 -0.27 -0.80 -1.06 -24.4 4k -0.27 -0.68 -1.77 -2.31 -0.14 -0.54 -1.63 -2.18 -42.3 6k -0.66 -0.94 -3.85 -3.94 -0.47 -0.66 -2.63 -1.97 -22.9 8k -0.58 -1.96 -6.88 -6.88 -0.58 -1.30 -4.49 -3.48 -40.5 12k -1.00 -2.16 -5.59 -5.59 -0.84 -1.79 -4.75 -4.54 -56.7 16k -1.22 -2.40 -6.02 -6.18 -1.14 -2.10 -6.06 -5.34 -65.4 24k -1.50 -3.41 -8.68 -7.23 -1.72 -2.76 -7.89 -7.11 -74.3 32k -1.92 -4.44 -9.27 -7.94 -1.79 -3.43 -9.45 -8.41 -78.5 64k x x x x x x x x -85.16 128k x x x x x x x x -87.66 diff -urN linux-2.4.9-v/fs/pipe.c linux-2.4.9-pipe-new/fs/pipe.c --- linux-2.4.9-v/fs/pipe.c Sun Aug 12 21:58:52 2001 +++ linux-2.4.9-pipe-new/fs/pipe.c Tue Oct 9 10:48:15 2001 @@ -23,6 +23,14 @@ * -- Julian Bradfield 1999-06-07. */ +#ifdef CONFIG_SMP +#define IS_SMP (1) +#else +#define IS_SMP (0) +#endif + +struct pipe_stat_t pipe_stat;
