Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/13] Reconcile NUMA balancing decisions with the load balancer v6
Date: Wed, 20 May 2020 15:58:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAE4VaGAxqK_gr7gstk1S8z3vx+9c6rG-Xo_kUiAzuOWpqOR4cQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Hillf, Mel and all,
thanks for the patch! It has produced really GOOD results.
1) It has fixed performance problems with 5.7 vanilla kernel for
single-tenant workload and low system load scenarios, without
performance degradation for the multi-tenant tasks. It's producing the
same results as the previous proof-of-concept patch where
adjust_numa_imbalance function was modified to be a no-op (returning
the same value of imbalance as it gets on the input).
2) We have also added Mel's netperf-cstate-small-cross-socket test to
our test battery:
https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests/blob/master/configs/config-network-netperf-cstate-small-cross-socket
Mel told me that he had seen significant performance improvements with
5.7 over 5.6 for the netperf-cstate-small-cross-socket scenario.
Out of 6 different patches we have tested, your patch has performed
the best for this scenario. Compared to vanilla, we see minimal
performance degradation of 2.5% for the udp stream throughput and 0.6%
for the tcp throughput. The testing was done on a dual-socket system
with Gold 6132 CPU.
@Mel - could you please test Hillf's patch with your full testing
suite? So far, it looks very promising, but I would like to check the
patch thoroughly to make sure it does not hurt performance in other
areas.
Thanks a lot!
Jirka
