Here are the results of running sembench on a 128 cpu box. In all of the
below cases, I had to use the kernel parameter idle=mwait to eliminate
spinlock contention in clockevents_notify() in the idle loop. I'll try
to track down what can be done about that later.
I took Peter's patches from the tip/sched/locking tree. I got similar
results directly from that branch, but separated them out to try to
isolate some irregular behavior that mostly went away when I added
idle=mwait. Since that branch was on top of 2.6.39-rc3, I used that
as a base.
The other patchset in play is Chris Mason's semtimedop optimization
patches. By themselves, I didn't see an improvement with Chris' patches,
but in conjunction with Peter's, they gave the best results. When
combining the patches, I removed Chris' batched wakeup patch, since it
conflicted with Peter's patchset and really isn't needed any more.
(It's been a while since Chris posted these. They are in the
"unbreakable" git tree,
http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=linux-2.6-unbreakable.git;a=summary ,
and ported easily to mainline. I can repost them.)
I used Chris's latest sembench, http://oss.oracle.com/~mason/sembench.c
and the command "./sembench -t 2048 -w 1900 -o 0". I got similar
burns-per-second numbers when cranking up the parameters to
"./sembench -t 16384 -w 15000 -o 0".
2.6.38:
