I perfoms benchmarks with knot-dns as a authoritative
server and dnsperf
as a workload client. Knot server has 32 cores. Interrupts from 10Gb
network card are spreaded across all 32 cores. Knot configured with
64 udp-workers. Each knot thread assigned to one core. So there are at
least two knot threads assigned to one core. Then i start dnsperf with
command
./dnsperf -s 10.0.0.4 -d out -n 20 -c 103 -T 64 -t 500 -S 1 -q 1000 -D
htop on knot server shows 3-4 cores completly unused. Then i restart
dnsperf unused cores are changes.
That is the reason for unused core?
Well, sometimes dnsperf is too slow :-)
I recommend to check this:
- Make sure dnsperf ("source machine") is not 100 % utilized.
- Try to increase number of sockets used by dnsperf, i.e. -c parameter.
I would try also values like 500 and 1000 to see if it makes any
difference. It might change results significantly because Linux kernel
is using hashes over some packet fields and low number of sockets might
result in uneven query distribution.
Please let us know what are your new results.
