Initial Lassen Performance Results

The below are the test results for the 8 tomcat cluster with terracotta server. It is the result form the masterRun.sh script.

Analyzing Jmeter logs ...
==============================
502 Error = 0
503 Error = 0
DEV-1929 = 0
//This includes network latency, etc.
Response Time
==============================
Average JMeter response time [Last Page/e1s31] = 144.109 ms
Average JMeter response time = 98.2516 ms

//This is server latency printed by the apache tomcat servlet engine
Server Latency Stats
=====================
Average = 9.90304 ms
Minimum = 0 ms
Maximum = 5851 ms
Std. Deviation = 40.5956
Total # of Requests = 2704000
Nodes = 8

L2 VerboseGC log Analysis

GC Report
================
Avg Full GC Duration = 5.50871 secs
Avg Full GC Interval = 247.74 secs
Total Full GC Time = 137.718 secs

No. of Full GC = 25
Avg Young GC Duration = 0.230732 secs
Avg Young GC Interval = 25.8137 secs
No. of Young GC = 246
Total Young GC Time = 56.76 secs

Avg Young GC Occurence b/w Full GC = 9.84
Avg Young GC Time b/w Full GC = 2.2704 secs

The page response time is less than 10 ms.

The above response time includes Servlet Initialization time. All the servlets/application initializes when first request hits the tomcat server which could be bit high.
