scp encrypts data. everything may depend of ssh version and 
configuration.

use rcp

Or better yet, make your own network client/server program for testing.

Tunning Freebsd for clustering

2007-08-30 Thread Emanuel Marufo
Hi everybody:

I recently work with mpi on FBSD 6.2 and Centos 4.4 on the same hardware.

2 Woodcrest dual core 3Ghz
2 GB RAM.
150 GB SATA disc.
etc, etc.


My tests, about network and hard disk transfers, say Centos is faster
than FBSD.

My questions are, how can tunning FBSD to upgrade the performance for
clustering?. And why Centos do have better performance?.

NOTE: The two tests on the fbsd was better are floating point
operations and recursitivity, i was impresed with a better managing of
it.

Don't count out 7-CURRENT. It's basically frozen now awaiting release sometime 
within the next couple months and is much better at dealing with concurrency 
than 6.2, in particular if you use the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD 
scheduler.

Latest copies of 7-CURRENT also include gcc 4.2.1 which is a lot better than 
gcc 3.4.2 with later edition processors (like the Woodcrest Xeons for 
instance), with dealing with larger processor caches IIRC.

There may be some things though in Linux which do run faster though, but please 
remember that performance is a function of many different factors, and your 
experience may vary from others who've done experiments before you.

Cheers,
-Garrett

Tunning Freebsd for clustering

2007-08-30 Thread Emanuel Marufo
2007/8/30, Hussain Ali [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 What sort of clustering are you doing ?  How are you
 testing?

 --
 -hussain



My god i forget post it.

Testing hard disk transfer.

machine1# scp big_file machine2:/tmp

Centos: 60 - 65 MB/s
FBSD : 52 - 54 MB/s

Testing network.

machine1#iperf -c machine2 -t 20

Centos: 941 Mb/s
FBSD : 930  Mb/s

And the last test, was with my own program which use a Send-Recv MPI
functions only.
One more time Centos was faster, but i have no results at the moment.
