Performance Tuning

Some General System Tuning Guidelines
To maximize network throughput lets
Disable irqbalance
service irqbalance stop
chkconfig irqbalance off
Disable cpuspeed
default gov=ondemand, set governer to performance
Use affinity to maximize what WE want
Process affinity
Use taskset or MRG’s “Tuna”
Interrupt affinity
grep eth2 /proc/interrupts
echo 80 > /proc/irq/177/smp_affinity
