Ulf Lilleengen created DISPATCH-479:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Use atomic operations for ref counts
Key: DISPATCH-479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-479
Project: Qpid Dispatch
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ulf Lilleengen
Priority: Minor
I ran some profiling using perf, and on the test server hardware, the locking
related to ref counts on delivery and message was most contended. The benchmark
is basically send unsettled messages as fast as it can.
I'm seeing ~10% improvement in throughput with this patch on the test server at
least, but there was no noticable improvement on my laptop. It might be that
the cost of locking is much less on newer hardware. [~mwagner] It would be
great if you could test the patch to see if it has any effect for your tests.
Another question is if/how to use atomic instructions in dispatch. If c11 is
preferred, I can change to that, but it appears it is not available for older
RHEL versions, so the patch uses GCC extensions.
