<h1 id="benchmarking-and-comparing-dwarfs">Benchmarking and
|
|
comparing DwarFS</h1>
|
|
<p>DwarFS is a filesystem developed by the user mhx on GitHub
|
|
[1], which is self-described as "A fast high compression
|
|
read-only file system for Linux, Windows, and macOS." One of my
|
|
ideas for blendOS was to layer different packages, and combined
|
|
with its compression and option to be mounted as a FUSE-based
|
|
filesystem, it's an appealing option for this use case - blendOS
|
|
is immutable, so it might as well have some compression.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="methodology">Methodology</h2>
|
|
<p>The datasets being used for this test will be the
|
|
following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>25 GB of null data (just <code>000000000000</code> in
|
|
binary)</li>
|
|
<li>25 GB of random data<a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref"
|
|
id="fnref1" role="doc-noteref"><sup>1</sup></a></li>
|
|
<li>Data for a 100 million-sided regular polygon; ~29 GB<a
|
|
href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2"
|
|
role="doc-noteref"><sup>2</sup></a></li>
|
|
<li>The current Linux longterm release source (<a
|
|
href="https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.6.58.tar.xz">6.6.58</a>
|
|
[2]); ~1.5 GB</li>
|
|
<li>For some rough latency testing:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>1000 4 kilobyte files filled with null data (again, just
|
|
<code>0000000</code> in binary)</li>
|
|
<li>1000 4 kilobyte files filled with random data</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>All this data should cover both latency and read speed
|
|
testing for data that compresses differently - extremely
|
|
compressible files with null data, decently compressible files,
|
|
and random data which can't be compressed well.</p>
