Hi, I performed some benchmarks comparing OSv to containers and general purpose OSs running under a hypervisor. Particularly, I carried out an ffmpeg benchmark that re-encodes a 30mb video from h.264 to h.265 using 16 threads with 16vCPUs. The results show that roughly all platforms perform equal, the exception being OSv (which takes ~1.4x longer).
I also performed another CPU-bound benchmark that simply checks whether numbers are prime -- in this case, OSv performs equal to the other platforms. What could be the reason for the slowdown with ffmpeg? I can think of either something thread related, or perhaps OSv is not able to use special CPU instructions to its full potential (e.g. AVX). Or maybe OSv simply does not fare that well with 16 vCPUs? Best regards, Vincent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OSv Development" group.
