The Advancement of NFS Benchmarking: SFS 2.0
نویسنده
چکیده
With the release of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation’s (SPEC) System File Server (SFS) Release 1.0 benchmark suite in April 1993, the characterization of NFS server performance grew from a small and not widely accepted set of benchmarks, to a single industry standard benchmark. This paper will provide a historical look at the success of SFS 1.01 and how it has driven server capabilities, describe SFS 1.0’s shortcomings, and detail the design and rationale behind the development of SFS 2.0.

LADDIS: The Next Generation in NFS File Server Benchmarking
The ability to compare the performance of various NFS file server configurations from several vendors is critically important to a computing facility when selecting an NFS file server. To date, nhfsstone has been a popular means of characterizing NFS file server performance. However, several deficiencies have been found in nhfsstone. The LADDIS NFS file server benchmark has been developed to re...

متن کاملNFS Tricks and Benchmarking Traps
We describe two modifications to the FreeBSD 4.6 NFS server to increase read throughput by improving the read-ahead heuristic to deal with reordered requests and stride access patterns. We show that for some stride access patterns, our new heuristics improve end-to-end NFS throughput by nearly a factor of two. We also show that benchmarking and experimenting with changes to an NFS server can be...
متن کاملLinux NFSv4.1 Performance Under a Microscope
NFS is a highly popular method of consolidating file resources in today’s complex computing environments. NFSv4.1, the latest version of the NFS protocol, has improvements in security, maintainability, and performance. Before system administrators can take advantage of NFSv4.1 in production systems, we need a good understanding of its performance. For this purpose, we present a detail-oriented ...
متن کاملDifferences in spontaneous mutation frequencies as a function of environmental stress in soil fungi at "Evolution Canyon," Israel.
When various wild strains of Penicillium lanosum and Aspergillus niger were placed in the same mild laboratory environment, their frequencies of new spontaneous mutations were clearly related to whether they had been isolated from a region of high or low microclimatic stress. In the mild environment, the total frequencies of conidial color and morphological mutations in P. lanosum, summed over ...
