Performance Tuning

Run 2 – review data – next steps
We moved interrupts and reran the test,
saw a very slight improvement in throughput,
not really expecting much...yet
Looking at the mpstat output we can see that we are still
bottlenecked on the receive side.
Let’s now try to add some process affinity to the mix
Remember core mappings
Try to get netperf to run on a “sister” core to the interrupts
Typically use taskset or TUNA for this, can also handle
programatically
netperf also has a built in mechanism
