Results on Performance Measurements on mv167 (33MHZ) and mv177(50MHZ)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I. EPICS Database for IOC Performance Measurement
The testing epics database was designed by Marty Kraimer of
APS. In the database, there is one master fanout record which
forwards another 6 fanout records. Each of these six fanout
records forwards to 5 calculation records. Each of these five
calc record forwards to a chain of 9 ai records as shown in
the following diagram.
Mfanout -> Sfanout1 ---> calc1 --> ai1 -> ai2 -> ... -> ai9
| |
-> Sfanout2 -> calc2
. .
. .
. -> calc5
.
-> Sfanout6
II. Procedure of Measurements
i. Step through the scan field of Mfanout:
1sec, .5sec, .2sec and .1sec
ii. For each of above scan rates,
start spy;
wait until cpu usage of the scanPeriod Task stablized;
record cpu usage of the scanPeriod Task and cpu idle;
stop the spy;
III. Results -- R3.12.2 epics
mv167(33MHZ) mv177(50MHZ) mv177(50MHZ)
with 68040 epics with 68060 epics*

(event lost)
* epics base compiled with -DCPU=MC68060 which affects the vxWorks kernel
VI. Conclusions
1. For about 300 epics records, mv177(50Mhz) is 2 times faster
than mv167(33Mhz) at the epics records running 1Hz and 5Hz scan rates;
About 2.5 times faster at the epics records running 10Hz;
3 times faster at the epics records running 2Hz.
2. The event lost happens when 300 epics records running at the
scan rate 10Hz on mv167(33Mhz).
3. The performances are almost identical between epics 68040 executable and
epics 68060 executable running on mv177.
