[Xen-devel] Question about machine time delay in guest domains (Full virtualization)

["christie kumiko goto" <christie0123@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, everyone,

I'm struggling with machine time delay in guest domains 
(full virtualization).

In order to evaluate cpu performance in full virtualization, I applied 
"SPEC CPU2006" and found that machine time of guest domains 
is severely delayed from actual time. 
->Actual test time : test time measured in guest domains = 4:1
(e.g., Actual test time =40 min, test time measured in guest domain time 
=10 min)

I think there is some relationship between the number of 
domains and cores.
(please see the following results)

Does anyone experience a similar problem (time delay in Xen)? 

------------------------------------------------------
<<Environment>>
-Host machine has 2 cores (core number 0-1) 
-Guest OSs: Full virtualization

*test 1
4 domains share 2 core (each domain has 2 vcpu)
->result: actual test time : test time measured in guest domains = 4:1

*test 2
2 domains share 1 core and the other 2 domains share the other 1 core. 
->result: actual test time : test time measured in guest domains = 2:1
------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your great kindness.
I wish you all the best for 2008.

Many thanks,
:)

-Christi
