Hi, I have used lmbench to test the performance of Xenolinux (HVM) CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM)2 T7400@2.16GHz Memory size: 1GB NIC: Intel PCIe Gigabit LAN chip HD: Samsung 80GB/7200rpm/8M Dom0: 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6xen DomU: 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 The context switch time seems saturated along with increasement of processes? e.g. size of processes 64kB N=number of process t=context switch time when N<32, t will be stable only about 10µs when N=64, t will increase to about 150 µs N=92, t will also keeps about 150µs Is it possible, that there will be an infinit serie of plateaus with different range of N(number of processes) like so: N<50 t=10µs 50<100 t=150µs 100<200 t=1ms ... How can it be explained? Thanks Songtao _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
