Need help - Why windows multi-threading data fetch IOPS too fast?!!
Greetings,
Can anybody help me a little out of my difficulty?
I have a SSD and I am trying to use it to simulate my program I/O performance, however, IOPS calculated from my program is much much faster than IOMeter.
My SSD is PLEXTOR PX-128M3S, by IOMeter, its max 512B random read IOPS is around 94k (queue depth is 32).
However my program (32 windows threads) can reach around 500k 512B IOPS, around 5 times of IOMeter!!! I did data validation but didn't find any error in data fetching. It's because my data fetching in order?
I paste my code belwo (it mainly fetch 512B from file and release it; I did use 4bytes (an int) to validate program logic and didn't find problem), can anybody help me figure out where I am wrong?
Thanks so much in advance!!
Nai Yan.
