SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 00/11] Multigenerational LRU Framework
Date
Kernel / Apache Spark benchmark with MGLRU

TLDR
====
With the MGLRU, Apache Spark took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20,
14.93]% less wall time to sort 3 billion random integers,
respectively, under the medium- and high-concurrency conditions when
slightly overcommitting memory. There were no statistically
significant changes in wall time when sorting the same dataset under
other conditions.

Background
==========
Memory overcommit can increase utilization and, if carried out
properly, can also increase throughput. The challenges are to improve
working set estimation and to optimize page reclaim. The risks are
performance degradations and OOM kills. Short of overcoming the
challenges, the only way to reduce the risks is to underutilize
memory.

Apache Spark is one of the most popular open-source big-data
frameworks. Dataset sorting is the most widely used benchmark for
such frameworks.

Matrix
======
Kernels: version [+ patchset]
* Baseline: 5.14
* Patched: 5.14 + MGLRU

Memory conditions: % of memory size
* Underutilizing: ~10% on inactive file list
* Overcommitting: ~10% swapped out

Concurrency conditions: average # of workers per CPU
* Low: 1
* Medium: 2
* High: 3

Cluster mode: local
Dataset size: 3 billion random integers (57GB text)

Total configurations: 12
Data points per configuration: 10
Total run duration (minutes) per data point: ~20

Procedure
=========
The latest MGLRU patchset for the 5.14 kernel is available at
git fetch https://linux-mm.googlesource.com/page-reclaim \
refs/changes/30/1430/1

Baseline and patched 5.14 kernel images are available at

Results
=======
Comparing the patched with the baseline kernel, Apache Spark took 95%
CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]% less wall time to sort the
dataset, respectively, under the medium- and high-concurrency
conditions when slightly overcommitting memory. There were no
statistically significant changes in wall time under other conditions.

Comparing overcommitting with underutilizing memory, Apache Spark
took 95% CIs [12.58, 14.76]% and [15.95, 19.15]% more wall time to
sort the dataset, respectively, under the low- and medium-concurrency
conditions when using the baseline kernel; 95% CIs [1.78, 2.16]% and
[1.42, 2.27]% more wall time, respectively, under the medium- and
high-concurrency conditions when using the patched kernel. There were
no statistically significant changes in wall time under other
conditions.
