Red Hat Releases Tuned 2.27 For Adaptively Tuning Linux To Different Workloads

([Red Hat] 6 Hours Ago Tuned 2.27)


Red Hat engineers this weekend released Tuned 2.27, the newest version of their open-source project to provide a tuning profile delivery mechanism for Linux. Tuned makes it easier to adjust Linux power and performance characteristics depending upon the hardware and the different workload(s) for your Linux system deployment. Tuned is a replacement/alternative to Linux's cpupower and power-profiles-daemon utilities.

Red Hat's Tuned 2.27 brings CPU partitioning improvements, optimizing TCP settings for high throughput and low latency when running OpenShift, setting the CPU boost option in the performance profiles, adjusting latency for SAP HANA, and other updates.

- cpu-partitioning: autodetect dracut hook directory, systemd workaround

- openshift: optimize TCP settings for high throughput and low latency

- profiles: Set boost=1 in *-performance profiles

- sap-hana: force latency to 70 us, not to C-states

- man: fixed instance_acquire_devices example in tuned-adm man

- spec: use correct python interpreter for documentation installation

- sysctl: add reapply_sysctl_exclude option

- ppd: ask tuned recommend for base profile

Those wanting to try Tuned 2.27 for tuning your Linux systems/servers can find the new release via [1]GitHub .

Suppose for a moment that the automobile industry had developed at the same
rate as computers and over the same period: how much cheaper and more
efficient would the current models be? If you have not already heard the
analogy, the answer is shattering. Today you would be able to buy a
Rolls-Royce for $2.75, it would do three million miles to the gallon, and
it would deliver enough power to drive the Queen Elizabeth II. And if you
were interested in miniaturization, you could place half a dozen of them on
a pinhead.
