Ruby 并发 : non-blocking I/O vs threads

Question

我正在研究 Ruby (1.9.3-p0) 中的并发性，并创建了一个非常简单的 I/O 密集型代理任务。首先，我尝试了非阻塞方法:

require 'rack'
require 'rack/fiber_pool'
require 'em-http'
require 'em-synchrony'
require 'em-synchrony/em-http'

proxy = lambda {|*|
  result = EM::Synchrony.sync EventMachine::HttpRequest.new('http://google.com').get
  [200, {}, [result.response]]
}

use Rack::FiberPool, :size => 1000
run proxy

=begin
$ thin -p 3000 -e production -R rack-synchrony.ru start
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)

$ ab -c100 -n100 http://localhost:3000/
Concurrency Level:      100
Time taken for tests:   5.602 seconds
HTML transferred:       21900 bytes
Requests per second:    17.85 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       5602.174 [ms] (mean)
=end

嗯，我想我一定做错了什么。对于我们主要等待 I/O 的任务，平均请求时间为 5.6 秒？我尝试了另一个:

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/synchrony'
require 'em-synchrony/em-http'

get '/' do
  EM::HttpRequest.new("http://google.com").get.response
end

=begin
$ ruby sinatra-synchrony.rb -p 3000 -e production
== Sinatra/1.3.1 has taken the stage on 3000 for production with backup from Thin
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)

$ ab -c100 -n100 http://localhost:3000/
Concurrency Level:      100
Time taken for tests:   5.476 seconds
HTML transferred:       21900 bytes
Requests per second:    18.26 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       5475.756 [ms] (mean)
=end

嗯，好一点，但不是我所说的成功。最后，我尝试了线程实现:

require 'rack'
require 'excon'

proxy = lambda {|*|
  result = Excon.get('http://google.com')
  [200, {}, [result.body]]
}    
run proxy

=begin
$ thin -p 3000 -e production -R rack-threaded.ru --threaded --no-epoll start
>> Thin web server (v1.3.1 codename Triple Espresso)

$ ab -c100 -n100 http://localhost:3000/
Concurrency Level:      100
Time taken for tests:   2.014 seconds
HTML transferred:       21900 bytes
Requests per second:    49.65 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       2014.005 [ms] (mean)
=end

这真的非常非常令人惊讶。我在这里错过了什么吗？为什么新兴市场在这里表现如此糟糕？我需要做一些调整吗？我尝试了各种组合(Unicorn、几种 Rainbows 配置等)，但它们都无法与简单的、旧的 I/O 阻塞线程相提并论。

非常欢迎提出想法、评论和 - 显然 - 更好实现的建议。

Answer 1

看看您的“每个请求的时间”如何恰好等于总的“测试时间”？这是一个报告算术工件，因为您的请求计数 (-n) 等于您的并发级别 (-c)。平均时间是总时间*并发/请求数。所以报告的意思是什么时候 -n == -c 将是最长请求的时间。您应该通过几个因素以 -n > -c 进行 ab 运行以获得合理的措施。

您似乎使用的是旧版本的 ab，因为默认情况下相对较新的版本会报告更详细的结果。当-n == -c 时，直接针对 google 运行我显示类似的总时间 == 平均时间，并在 -n > -c 时得到更合理的数字。您真的想查看请求/秒，即所有并发请求的平均值，以及最终的服务级别分割，以便更好地理解。
