We're running haproxy on a 2x4 core Intel E5-2609 box. At present
haproxy is running on
a single core and saturating that core at about 15,000 requests per second.
Our application has four distinct front-ends (listening on four separate
ports) so it would be
very easy for us to run four haproxy instances, each handling one of the
four front-ends.
This should then allow us to use four of our eight cores. However we
won't be able to tie hardware
interrupts to any particular core.
Is this arrangement likely to give us a significant performance boost?
Or are we heading for trouble because
we can't tie interrupts to any particular core?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks,
Chris.
