throughput

EnterpriseNetworkingPlanet: Put four, 10 GbE interfaces in a box and you're going to get some decent throughput.

In this series we've been working over the 2.6.32 kernel, which is a bit old. Let's kick the tires on a 2.6.38.2 kernel to see if it helps or hurts performance of the SandForce SSD. Continue reading →

At SNW, Fusion-io set up a video wall with 4,500 streams all being fed through a single SSD card with 6GB/sec throughput.

Linux Magazine: "This month we have been testing a new kernel patch named bcache that takes SSDs and uses them as a cache for block devices (with the typical device being hard drives).

This article wraps up the testing with an investigation of the throughput of large files and summarizes all the testing to date"

The H Open: "Several patches submitted by a Google developer will enable the kernel to push considerably more data through network cables on multi-core systems.

Some of the LAN and Wi-Fi drivers also promise greater throughput, or to use less power, due to various driver enhancements."

The H Open: "Extended discard support means that Linux now supports ATA TRIM, which can increase SSD lifespan and throughput."

Linux Magazine: "In the quest for more performance there are two new standards for SATA and SAS focused on doubling current throughput to 6 Gbps.

While the standards may sound like a nice potential boost don’t expect individual hard drives to increase in performance."

Terracotta Inc. last week released a higher throughput version of its open source in-memory database caching platform.

Technology promises to increase throughput and decrease latency.
