Kernel compiles are not how to stress these. The way to stress them is to have multiple simultaneous independent chains of communicators and deeper chains of communicators. Kernel compiles are little but background cpu/memory load for these sorts of tests. Something expected to have some sort of mutual interference depending on quality of implementation would be a better sort of competing load, one vastly more reflective of real workloads. For instance, another set of processes communicating using the same primitive. Perhaps best of all would be a macrobenchmark utilizing a variety of the primitives under consideration. Unsurprisingly, major commercial databases do so for major benchmarks. -- wli - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
