    If you mean site related, including, to the SSD VPS benchmarks, then it's being created.

    In 1-2 days the site will go live and the detailed benchmarks will appear there. For those impatient I can post read/write IOPS ratings right here in the thread.

    I appreciate the offer by Chris of Avante Hosting Services, Inc. - he created a standard performance SSD VPS for me to run tests.

    The tests will be under way shortly.

    OK, here we go. The site is up and running (see my signature), and here's the direct link to the chart being built:

    SSD VPS performance chart

    Recently added:
    64u.com

    I'll post updates to this thread as more plans are added.

    I have a VirtualSRV & PieServ with the SSD (supposedly) on OpenVZ. If you let me know the exact commands I can do that for your chart/info. They expire soon so please PM me if possible the info so I can do it right away. Hope it helps out.

    Thanks for you assistance. I suppose I will give all the instructions here, perhaps someone else could be interested.

    I use 64-bit OS (preferably CentOS 6.x or 5.x, as updated as possible), so I suppose you're familiar with that environment.

    Byte UnixBench

    Download it from this page. I give the instructions assuming you've downloaded the file UnixBench5.1.3.tgz from the above link and placed into /usr/local/src/arc

    Also, make sure that Perl module Time::HiRes is installed. On CentOS 6.x, with EPEL installed, this is ensured by running 'yum install Perl-Time-HiRes', on other OSes you could have to use Perl CPAN shell to install it (make sure gcc/c++ is installed). Contact me if there are problems.
    Code:
    mkdir -p /usr/local/src/install
    cd /usr/local/src/install
    tar zxf ../arc/UnixBench5.1.3.tgz
    cd UnixBench
    make
    ./Run
    Now make yourself a good cup of coffee, since it could take quite a time. if possible, stop all the applications on the VPS/DS (Web server, MySQL etc).

    The results will be in results/ directory.

    Iozone

    Open this page, scroll down to "Download Source" and download 'Stable tarball'. In the code below I assume you downloaded iozone3_405.tar into /usr/local/src/arc :
    Code:
    cd /usr/local/src/install
    tar xf ../arc/iozone3_405.tar
    cd iozone3_405/src/current
    Now run
    Code:
    make linux
    for 32-bit Linux OS (run 'uname -a' to make sure you choose the right command), or
    Code:
    make linux-AMD64
    Consult the enclosed doc files if in doubt. After the binary has been built
    Code:
    mkdir report
    ./iozone -O -R -a | tee -a report/auto.out
    ./iozone -O -R -r 4k -s 1m | tee -a report/1m.out
    ./iozone -O -R -r 4k -s 10m | tee -a report/10m.out
    ./iozone -O -R -r 4k -s 100m | tee -a report/100m.out
    ./iozone -O -R -r 4k -s 1000m | tee -a report/1000m.out
    That, too, can be quite slow process. Take the five report files from report directory after all is done.

    fio

    If yum/whatever doesn't know anything about 'fio' (run 'yum search fio'), you can take it from this link. The instructions below are for the case you have to build it from sources. I assume you have the fio-2.0.7.tar.gz file in /usr/local/src/arc (you could require installing libaio-devel package, by the way):
    Code:
    cd /usr/local/src/install
    tar zxf ../arc/fio-2.0.7.tar.gz
    cd fio-2.0.7
    make
    make install
    Now we assume you have 4Gb of SSD space required.
    Code:
    mkdir ~/tmp
    cd ~/tmp
    fio --bs=4k --size=128m --direct=1 --runtime=10 --rw=randread \
         --numjobs=32 --group_reporting --time_based --name=128m | \
        tee -a iops-32jobs-128m-4k-10sec-randread.txt
    fio --bs=4k --size=128m --direct=1 --runtime=10 --rw=randwrite \
        --numjobs=32 --group_reporting --time_based --name=128m | \
        tee -a iops-32jobs-128m-4k-10sec-randwrite.txt
    rm -f 128m.*
    There will be two files remaining in the temporary directory, those contain IOPS results.

    Hope the above will be useful. Of course you could use any other directories/file names.

    As more and more data is collected, I guess a ranking list can be made.

    Thanks Henrik, In fact, this research/testing is very interesting to me. I have already found a good SSD-based hosting for my main sites - hosting that is both faster and less expensive.

    I think yes. So far the following providers have at least one of their plans covered:

    64u.com
    avantehosting.net
    bluelighthost.com
    digicube.fr
    infinitie.net
    virtualsrv.com

    CleverKite and VPSDeploy are currently in process. Also, I was asked to run the same benchmarks for Amazon EC2 instances. Will that be of interest to anyone here?

    PieServ is already on the list, thanks.
    It would be interesting to see the results.

    PMed. If there are any problems contacting me, the VPSeer site offers many other means to contact me, on 'About' page.

    Thanks!

    Price doesn't mean much, I've paid much more for crappier hardware... I just know the guys that run it are top notch and wouldn't run a business any other way.

    Well if you think about it if they charge 2x more per month than competitors then they can afford higher end hardware giving them that better performance we are seeing. That's pretty much what I was getting at.

    Certainly a valid point.

    Worth noting that the $35/mo plan would return nearly the same numbers though.

    Forgot about that. Great point sir on that. When you think about that, it's not that much difference in cost than competitors.

    Can't wait to see the scores for serveraxis.com. I'm looking for a east coast VPS to run my game servers. It's a free service I provide so Im always looking for budget (hence why I went with virtualsrv & piesrv that neither worked out). As long as the numbers show decent for serveraxis.com I'll be trying them out next!
