  1. Performance

  2. What Is Performance? • Fast!? • “Performance” is meaningless in isolation • It only makes sense to talk about performance of a particular workload, and according to a particular set of metrics • Queries per second in Web server • Response latency in DNS server • Number of delivery per second in Mail server

  3. Computer Components

  4. Factors That Affect Performance • Four major resources • CPU • Memory • Hard disk I/O bandwidth • Network I/O bandwidth • Where is the real bottleneck • Not CPU, hard disk bandwidth it is !! • Memory size has a major influence on performance • When memory is not enough, system will do swap, so memory and disk bandwidth are the major suspects

  5. What is your system doing? • CPU use • Disk I/O • Network I/O • Application (mis-)configuration • Hardware limitations • System calls and interaction with the kernel • Multithreaded lock contention • Typically one or more of these elements will be the limiting factor in performance of your workload • Monitoring interval should not be too small

  6. Analyzing CPU usage – (1) • Three information of CPU • Load average • Overall utilization • Help to identify whether the CPU resource is the system bottleneck • Per-process consumption • Identify specific process’s CPU utilization

  7. Analyzing CPU usage – (2) • Load average • The average number of runnable processes • Including processes waiting for disk or network I/O • uptime(1) • Show how long system has been running and the load average of the system over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes $ uptime 2:34PM up 500 days, 57 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.05, 0.14, 0.16

  8. Analyzing CPU usage – (3) • vmstat(8) – Overall utilization • procs • r(in running queue)、b(block for resources)、w(runnable) • cpu • us(user time): high computation • sy(system time): processes make lots of system call or perform I/O • id: cpu idle • faults (average per second over last 5 seconds) • in: device interrupt per interval • sy: system calls per interval • cs: cpu context switch rate $ vmstat -c 2 -w 5 procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad6 ad10 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 5 4091M 5491M 88 0 0 0 206 54 0 0 114 243 182 5 0 95 0 0 5 4091M 5491M 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46 311 605 0 0 100

  10. Analyzing CPU usage – (5) • Per-process consumption • top command • Display and update information about the top cpu processes • ps command • Show process status

  11. Analyzing CPU usage – (6) • top(1) – Show a realtime overview of what CPU do • Paging to/from swap • Performance kiss of death • Spending lots of time in the kernel, or processing interrupts • Which processes/threads are using CPU • What they are doing inside the kernel • Eg. Biord/biowr/wdrain: disk I/O • sbwait: waiting for socket input • ucond/umtx: waiting on an application thread lock • Many more • Only documented in the source code • Context switchs • Voluntary: process blocks waiting for a resource • Involuntary: kernel decides the process should stop running for now

  14. Analyzing memory usage –(1) • When memory is not enough … • Memory page has to be “swapped out” to the disk block • LRU (Least Recently Used) algorithm • Bad situation – “desperation swapping” • Kernel forcibly swaps out runnable process • Extreme memory shortage • Two numbers that quantify memory activity • Total amount of active virtual memory • Tell you the total demand for memory • Page rate • suggest the proportion of actively used memory

  15. Analyzing memory usage – (2) • To see amount of swap space in use • pstat -s / swapinfo (FreeBSD) • pstat(8): • % pstat -s $ pstat -s Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/label/swap-0 1048572 272996 775576 26% /dev/label/swap-1 1048572 269812 778760 26% Total 2097144 542808 1554336 26%

  18. Analyzing disk I/O – (1) • For disk-intensive workloads • Limited by bandwidth or latency(response time for an I/O operation) • Random access reads/writes requires the disk to constantly seek • Limiting throughput • Sequential I/O is limited by the transfer rate of the disk and controller

  22. Tuning disk performance – (1) • Reduce disk contention • Move competing I/O jobs onto independent disks • Stripe multiple disks with gstripe • For filesystems striped across multiple disks • Make sure the filesystem boundary is stripe-aligned • Eg. For 64k stripe sizes, start of filesystem should be 64k-aligned to avoid splitting I/O between multiple stripes • Add more/better hardware

  23. Tuning disk performance – (2) • Try to restructure the workload to separate “critical” data and “scratch” data • Scratch data can be reconstructed or discarded after a crash • Can afford to use fast but less reliable storage options • mount –o async is fast but unsafe • Go one step further: store temporary data in memory • mdconfig –a –t swap –s 4g; mount –o async ... • Creates a “swap-backed” memory device • Swap only used when memory is low, otherwise stored in RAM

  24. Analyzing network – (1) • netstat(1) – show network status • Also list listening sockets • netstat –a • Show the state of all interfaces • netstat –i • Examining the routing table • netstat –rn $ netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address IpktsIerrsOpktsOerrsColl bge0 1500 <Link#1> 00:14:5e:0a:04:46 243305175 0 258986572 0 0 bge0 1500 140.113.235.0 csmx1 226106854 - 258954715 - - bge1* 1500 <Link#2> 00:14:5e:0a:04:47 0 0 0 0 0 lo0 16384 <Link#3> 90390695 0 90390905 0 0 lo0 16384 your-net localhost 90390847 - 90390833 - - $ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 140.113.235.254 UGS 0 120166226 bge0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 90395361 lo0 140.113.235.0/24 link#1 UC 0 0 bge0

  27. Tuning network performance • Check packet loss and protocol negotiation • Socket buffer too small? • kern.ipc.maxsockbuf – maximum socket buffer size • setsockopt(…, SO_{RCV, SND}BUF, …) • net.inet.udp.recvspace • UDP will drop packets if the receive buffer fills • TCP largely self-tuning • Check for hardware problems

  29. When to throw hardware at the problem • Only once you have determined that a particular hardware resource is your limiting factor • More CPU cores will not solve a slow disk • Adding RAM can reduce the need for some disk I/O • More cached data, less paging from disk • Adding more CPU cores is not a magic bullet for CPU limited jobs • Some applications do not scale well • High CPU can be caused by resource contention • Recourse contention will make performance worse!!!
