ABSTRACT

MACH vs. UNIX Performance Report

This report describes the study conducted to measure the performance of multiprogramming applications running under MACH with similar applications running under UNIX -- using CAIS-A tools as the test vehicle. Specifically, the study compared the elapsed times for a large set of CAIS-A interface calls made between CAIS-A tools and the CAIS-A server program. The report discusses the differences in implementation approaches used for message passing between tools the server. It describes the approach taken to gather the performance data. The bulk of the report analyzes the data gathered, which showed that most interfaces were 10 to 30 percent faster under MACH.
