fastos / fastsocket

Fastsocket is a highly scalable socket and its underlying networking implementation of Linux kernel. With the straight linear scalability, Fastsocket can provide extremely good performance in multicore machines. In addition, it is very easy to use and maintain. As a result, it has been deployed in the production environment of SINA.

How about fastsocket on VM? #6

Closed Raumy closed 9 years ago

Raumy commented 10 years ago

Hello,

Do you think that there is an interest to deploy a fastsocket on a virtualized environnement ? (such as KVM) or on the host system ?

Perhaps you could try to run some benchmarks in these types of environnement ?

A last question: you wrote "Swith kernel : change grub file to (...)", could you explain ? what file ? (grub.cfg ?) and what should I modify ? :)

Thanks

Regards

It is an interesting idea. But I wonder in practice if the guest VM performance is a real problem in virtualization. Currently, we are focusing on TCP performance on MULTICORE platforms and virtualization naturally solves the MULTICORE problem by assigning CPU cores to different VMs.

For the last question: I mean the grub.conf
