OSL Storage Cluster - RIP-Benchmark

Since SC-Version 2.1 the Storage Cluster is able to take the capacity utilisation of Cluster Nodes into account, if an application fails and needs to migrate to another Cluster Node. These Features got further improved in Version 3.0, leading to a convenient and powerful framework for a resource based, self-management of our cluster.

Primarily for business Applications and Databases the Integer-Performance is vital. OSL Storage Cluster bases its decision-making on benchmarking results, able to come to suitable conclusions in environments with heterogenous CPUs. Administrator now assigns a Integer-Performance (a number) to his applications; OSL Storage Cluster is able to determine a migration target based on still available Integer-Performance on any Cluster Node. This abstract figure is what we call "Relative Integer Performance" - RIP.

RIP-Benchmark - Details

Most existing Benchmarks are a combination of different load profiles. For a cluster running different applications, with different load profiles, these benchmarks are of no use. Often undesirable variables are measured as well, like Float- or IO-Performance as part of a Integer-Benchmark. Partly it is hard to determine which circumstance lead to a better or worse result.

The RIP-Benchmark is designed to give a pristine statement of the Integer Performance of a Cluster Node. CPU performance, memory links and the overall multitasking ability of a CPU play a role and testify the Nodes performance. The RIP-Benchmark returns results for single process/thread as well as multi process/thread operations. The Benchmark is designed in a way that in multi process operation mode, a maximum for the best parallelism is produced. The RIP Benchmark contains integer operations and memory management functions exclusively. Disk-IO is excluded. RAM access is preferred (compared to L1/L2 Cache), other influences like competing processes and OS scheduler are minimized.

Speaking of Integer operations, typically 32Bit data types are meant. Since todays applications use 64Bit data types, our Benchmark produces results for both. Several applications still work with 32Bit data types exclusively, an increasing number of applications relies an 64Bit data types (long, long long). But an exclusive usage of 64Bit data types is still an exception. However to produce a suitable result for mixed applications a value is calculated: RIPmix. RIPmix is the geometrical mean and so much the better, the more close 32Bit and 64Bit values are.
Measured values refer to a value of 1 for a Intel Pentium running at 100MHz for 32Bit operations. If 64Bit is running at the same speed the same value is given. For 32Bit Systems, that basically means half the performance for 64Bit data types (long long).

The RIP-Benchmark produces following 6 values:

RIP32-SPsingle processInteger-Performance (32Bit) of a single process/thread
RIP64-SPsingle processInteger-Performance (64Bit) of a single process/thread
RIPmix-SPsingle processcalculated Integer-Performance of single process 32Bit- and 64Bit operations
RIP32-MPmultiprocessmaximal Integer-Performance with multiple processes (32Bit)
RIP64-MPmultiprocessmaximal Integer-Performance with multiple processes (64Bit)
RIPmix-MPmultitprocesscalculated Integer Performance of multiple processes 32Bit- and 64Bit operations

Results: RIP Benchmark

Please note that above table does not describe Hosts exhaustively. Depending on their configuration, measured values may differ considerably. The same Benchmark Binary (sparc,x86) has been used for all the above Nodes. OSL explicitly points out, that fairness in terms of competition cannot be guaranteed. Any usage beyond OSL Storage Cluster context may only be permitted for personal purposes. Any other usage deviates from the aim of this Benchmark and requires written consent of OSL.
