[Xen-ia64-devel] HVM Multi-Processor Performance followup
Hi everyone,
A follow-up on the multiprocessor performance benchmark on
HVM guests.
We ran the RE-AIM7 benchmarks on a 5-cell (40 CPU) machine
and a single-cell 8-cpu NEC machine.
Here are the jobs per minute maximums.
You can see the drop in performance starts to get really bad
at about 9 CPUs and beyond.
Questions:
1.
What can I do to help improve this situation?
2.
Are there any other experiments I can run?
3.
What tools/profilers will help to gather more data
here?
I am very interested in helping to solve this problem! Thanks
for your ideas and suggestions.
Best regards,
---Kayvan
