I did a couple of quick tests and it seems that signals are faster then
xenstore but still xenstore offers good performances.
I measured the time using rdtsc at the sender size and at the receiver
size, the difference between the two values is the following:
signals: 368836
xenstore: 1984632
This is with an unloaded xenstored, I take it.
Yes
Thanks for measuring the numbers. It made things clear.
I think we need a signal-based interface as Ian said previously.
On our test environment, AMD Barcelona 2.3GHz, the total cpu cycles of Kemari in
userland when running I/O intensive applications is around 3000000.
Although Xen transferring code and QEMU saving code is processed concurrently,
using xenstored for staring QEMU portion would lower the performance.
Especially if the xenstored gets slower when items are loaded.
