CSCAN vs CFQ I/O scheduler benchmark results

["Vishal Patil" <vishpat@gmail.com>]

The previous mail got scrambbled and hence I am resending this one
again

Hello

I ran the sysbench benchmark to compare the CSCAN I/O scheduler
against the CFQ scheduler and following are the results. The results
are interesting especially in case of sequential writes and the random
workloads

                                           Latency (seconds)

              seq            seq         seq             rnd
 rnd          rnd
              reads         writes      r + w          reads
writes      r + w
              --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CFQ         0.0116      0.0164      0.0107      0.1178       0.0423      0.0605

CSCAN    0.0148      0.0092      0.0169      0.1043      0.0473      0.0732


                                          Throughput (MB/seconds)

               seq            seq         seq             rnd
rnd         rnd
               reads         writes      r + w          reads
writes      r + w

CFQ        19.062      15.251      22.127      2.1197      1.0032       1.376

CSCAN   14.553      22.108      14.72       2.394       0.9304         1.399
