Fengqi.Asia SmartOS SmartMachine vs. Popular Cloud Platforms (Part A)

Test 1. Disk I/O Test - IOZone

Test 1. Disk I/O Test - IOZone

The superior read/write performance is because Fengqi.Asia Unix gives a system-wide RAM cache for all disk I/O.

 Test details: IOzone - Record Size: 4Kb - File Size: 8GB - Disk Test: Write and Read Performance
Write: This test measures the performance of writing new files
Read: This test measures the performance of reading existing files

Test 2. Memory I/O Test - RAMspeed SMP

Test 2. Memory I/O Test - RAMspeed SMP

Test details: RAMspeed SMP - Type: Average - Benchmark: Integer and Floating Point
RAMspeed tests how fast are both cache and memory subsystems via allocating certain memory space and start either writing to or reading from it using continuous blocks
Reference: link

Test 3. CPU Test - SciMark Computational

Test 3. CPU Test - SciMark Computational
