Deep I/O Performance Analysis of CernVM-FS using Modern Linux Tools
Shahnur Isgandarli
This report describes performance analysis of the CernVM-FS FUSE which is a software distribution
service used in high-energy physics research. The performance analysis was conducted in both kernel
space as well as in userland. One of the main tools used throughout the project implementation is BPF
Compiler Collection (BCC). BCC was used for doing performance analysis on the kernel side of the
FUSE calls in CernVM-FS. Some new tools were developed for retrieving performance statistics of the
FUSE calls based on the guidelines for developing new BCC programs using the python interface.
Besides the kernel space, FUSE userland calls were also undergone performance analysis by means
of the code instrumentation. Additionally, log2 histogram was merged to the devel branch of the
CernVM-FS code repository.
