Introduction
About the Performance and Tuning Guide
Verifying Linux system performance
System performance
Write bandwidth test
System performance
Verifying Windows system performance with Iometer
Improperly configured benchmark
Debugging performance issues
Oversubscribed bus
Handling PCIe errors
PCIe link width improperly negotiated
CPU thermal throttling or auto-idling
Using CP and other system utilities
Slow performance using RAID5 on Linux
Benchmarking through a filesystem
To avoid this issue. For more information, see the patch
Using direct I/O, unbuffered, or zero copy
General tuning techniques
Multiple outstanding IOs
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fioX bs=10M oflag=direct
Pre-conditioning
$ echo 4096 /sys/block/fio name/queue/nrrequests
Pre-allocating memory
Preallocatemb
Increased steady-state write performance with fio-format
Tuning techniques for writes
Ext2-3-4 tuning
Linux filesystem tuning
Stride = chunk size / filesystem block size
Stripewidth = dbd * stride
Options iomemory-vsl preallocatememory=1072,4997,6710,10345
Using the IO Accelerator as swap space
Compiling the fio benchmark
Fio benchmark
$ tar xjvf fio-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 $ cd fio-X.Y.Z
