Subject:   low sysbench scores on 8 core server
Message-ID:  <486E4C20.7050102@omc.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
hi,

I did some testing an a supermicro 2 x 4 core xeon server under 64bit
"7.0-STABLE #1: Fri Jul  4". when we first tested the system under load
(2000 apache threads) the system performed bad compare to other dual
core systems under the same workload.

the 8 core system had 0% idle time and almost 100% system load. I could
not find out what the load was. disk IO was close to zero during that time.

because of that I checked the sysbench results with this test:

sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --mysql-user=root \
 --max-requests=0 --max-time=60 --oltp-read -only=on --num-threads=$1 run

here are the sysbench results:

- 1 thread --------------------------------------------------------

    other operations:                    50682  (844.69 per sec.)

- 8 threads -------------------------------------------------------
OLTP test statistics:
    queries performed:
        read:                            145166
        write:                           0
        other:                           20738

    other operations:                    20738  (345.51 per sec.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

during the 8 thread test "top" looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
last pid: 30104;  load averages:  2.50,  0.65,  0.52  up 0+01:49:44  17:52:14
69 processes:  7 running, 62 sleeping
CPU:  5.6% user,  0.0% nice, 64.0% system,  0.0% interrupt, 30.4% idle
Mem: 44M Active, 296M Inact, 277M Wired, 84K Cache, 214M Buf, 15G Free
Swap: 16G Total, 16G Free
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

software versions used:
 - mysql-server-5.1.25
 - sysbench-0.4.8

any ideas what I should look for or what to change?
I could supply more info if needed. dmesg appended.

thanks,
lutz
