User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.3i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org WimMark I report for 2.5.64 Runs: 1430.06 1194.90 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. Unless mentioned, all runs are on this machine (variation in hardware would indeed change the benchmark). -- "I am working for the time when unqualified blacks, browns, and women join the unqualified men in running our overnment." - Sissy Farenthold Joel Becker Senior Member of Technical Staff Oracle Corporation E-mail: joel.becker@oracle.com Phone: (650) 506-8127
