Hi all,

I've recently run some tests to try and see how much overhead clustering brings. In short - I saw roughly a 50% reduction in message throughput
when clients ran against a 2 node cluster vs a standalone broker.


I get about a 25% reduction running against a 4 node cluster.
Try --worker-threads=4.

Just a quick follow-up - setting worker-threads=4 noticeably improved throughput on a single queue in both the standalone and clustered scenarios. It reduced total throughput somewhat when loading 8 queues simultaneously (which you'd expect). The ratio of standalone:clustered throughput remained at about 2:1. Will let know if we get any further interesting results.



I know this is odd to ask, but what hardware are you running on brand. As machines that have SMI's are known to reduce throughput in clustered configurations. My employer has worked with some manufactures to provide bios's for certain models for reduced SMIs to resolve this issue.

Carl.


Interesting. This particular test was on HP DL380 G5s. We tend to have a mix of G5 and G6s kicking around. I see there is some literature on the redhat site re: tuning these models for realtime. Will talk it over with our unix team.

Cheers,
Andrew
