Units
For these measurements:
- 1 kB/s = 1,000 bytes per second
- 1 mB/s = 1,000,000 bytes per second
- 1 gB/s = 1,000,000,000 bytes per second
Memory:
- 1 Kb = 1024^2 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
- 1 Gb = 1024^3 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- 1 Tb = 1024^4 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes

Procedure
Sizing files based on available /dev/shm space. Largest file size limited to 1 gB.
The /dev/zero to /dev/shm write is done a dd command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/shm/memToMem.$I.zero bs=200000 count=$ddCount
Running multiple copies of that simultaneously until the best speed was obtained.
The /dev/shm copy to /tmp is done the cp command:
cp -p /dev/shm/memToMem.$I.zero ./memToFile.$I.zero
Running multiple copies of that simultaneously until the best speed was obtained. It only took several (2 to 3) multiple instances before they began to interfere with each other and slow down the effective rate.
The /dev/shm copy to the hive filesystem was done with the cp command:
cp -p /dev/shm/memToMem.$I.zero ./memToFile.$I.zero
Running multiple copies of that simultaneously did not improve the speed on the machine where the copies were running. However, running copies from multiple machines at the same time to the same hive directory did not interfere with each other. They were independent of the other activity.
The altair /dev/shm to hive filesystem copy was performed to the /genome/ filesystem.
The rsync /dev/shm to /dev/shm was to and from hgwdev. Multiple instances of rsync from kolossus to hgwdev seemed to add together for a total bandwidth higher than a single instance of rsync.
The machine mitzie is at the end of a Santa Cruz DSL line and over a WiFi network connection across the driveway to the garage. The WiFi link is faster than the DSL line.
The UDT via UPD transfers are with the udp transport software from: UDT.
