Finally, Reiser4 Benchmarks Against EXT4 & Btrfs
There is no shortage of EXT4 benchmarks from comparing this evolutionary file-system's performance on netbooks to how it battles the Btrfs file-system to its performance recession. In this article though we are finally delivering something that has long been requested and that is Reiser4 file-system benchmarks running directly against EXT4 and Btrfs. We have also thrown in the original ReiserFS file-system for comparison too.
The future of the Reiser4 file-system has been in debate since 2007 and earlier since the file-system's lead developer, Hans Reiser, was sent to prison for murdering his wife in California. As of right now there are no immediate plans to push the Reiser4 file-system into the mainline Linux kernel even as an experimental file-system, but it may aim for inclusion this year as we found out from Edward Shishkin who had taken over much of the Reiser4 development. Reiser4 is designed to be a more efficient journaling file-system than ReiserFS and other Linux file-systems particularly when handling small files, faster support for large directories, provide a plug-in infrastructure for supporting encryption and compression, offer transaction support, and have a dynamically optimized disk layout.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
