6 * This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) monitoring multiple
7 * file descriptors under one or two load balancing models. The first,
8 * and default, is the single/combined queueing (which refers to a single
9 * epoll instance for N worker threads):
10 *
11 * |---> [worker A]
12 * |---> [worker B]
13 * [combined queue] .---> [worker C]
14 * |---> [worker D]
15 * |---> [worker E]
16 *
17 * While the second model, enabled via --multiq option, uses multiple
18 * queueing (which refers to one epoll instance per worker). For example,
19 * short lived tcp connections in a high throughput httpd server will
20 * distribute the accept()'ing connections across CPUs. In this case each
21 * worker does a limited amount of processing.
22 *
23 * [queue A] ---> [worker]
24 * [queue B] ---> [worker]
25 * [queue C] ---> [worker]
26 * [queue D] ---> [worker]
27 * [queue E] ---> [worker]
28 *
29 * Naturally, the single queue will enforce more concurrency on the epoll
30 * instance, and can therefore scale poorly compared to multiple queues.
31 * However, this is a benchmark raw data and must be taken with a grain of
32 * salt when choosing how to make use of sys_epoll.
33
34 * Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
35 * referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to
36 * the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of
37 * epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this
38 * is not what we want to stress. The size of the fdmap can be adjusted
39 * by the user; enlarging the value will increase the chances of
40 * epoll_wait(2) blocking as the lineal writer thread will take "longer",
41 * at least at a high level.
42 *
43 * Note that because fds are private to each thread, this workload does
44 * not stress scenarios where multiple tasks are awoken per ready IO; ie:
45 * EPOLLEXCLUSIVE semantics.
46 *
47 * The end result/metric is throughput: number of ops/second where an
48 * operation consists of:
49 *
50 * epoll_wait(2) + [others]
51 *
52 * ... where [others] is the cost of re-adding the fd (EPOLLET),
53 * or rearming it (EPOLLONESHOT).
54 *
55 *
56 * The purpose of this is program is that it be useful for measuring
57 * kernel related changes to the sys_epoll, and not comparing different
58 * IO polling methods, for example. Hence everything is very adhoc and
59 * outputs raw microbenchmark numbers. Also this uses eventfd, similar
60 * tools tend to use pipes or sockets, but the result is the same.
