I decided to blow today's coffee money on a couple of hours on a 40
CPU m4.x10large at the Amazon arcade, running "FreeBSD
12.0-RELEASE-amd64-f5af2713-6d84-41f0-95ea-2eaee78f2af4-ami-03b0f822e17669866.4
(ami-0ec55ef66da2c9765)" on a 20GB SSD with UFS. Some time when there
isn't a commitfest looming I'll try to do some proper testing, but in
a quick and dirty smoke test (-s 600, -S -T 60, shared_buffers=6GB,
for a range of client counts), mmap and sysv were the same, but there
did seem to be a measurable speed-up available at high client counts
with kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1 and thus for sysv only, for people
prepared to set 3 sysctls and this proposed new GUC. Maybe the effect
would be greater with bigger shared_buffers or smaller pages (this
test ran on super pages)? More work required to figure that out.
Graph attached.
clients mmap sysv sysv+ph
