Subject: read latency (ia64)
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 10:06:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020418140622.GA31405@sasami.kuroyi.net> (raw)
I have a Lion with 4 666mhz B3 stepping cpus and 4GB ram running Debian
unstable with kernel 2.4.18 and the 020410 ia64 patch (I have the same
problem with 2.4.9-itanium-smp from the archive).
I have a program that reads large files in increments of 81920 blocks.
After about 9600 read calls I get about a dozen reads that take about 3
seconds each. Does anyone have any ideas as to a cause/solution?
(I have 4 other threads working/possibly writing output at the same
time, although in this case only 1 of them would be active at
the same time). I am also running a program that callocs almost all my
ram to make sure none of the file is cached.
I can provide more info if necessary.
Here is a partial log I made (read#/time in seconds):
9597 2.823812008

Thanks for your help.

I think the slogan of the fansubbers puts
it best: "Cheaper than crack, and lots more fun."
