之前网上有很多关于django的测试,他们的测试结果都表明django在fastcgi模式下,使用线程模型要比进程模型快,而且更稳定,具体文章见:
http://irobot.blog.hexun.com/20332312_d.html

但是ahuaxuan根据操作系统的原理判断结果不应该是这样,理论上来讲,进程应该更快。为了证明自己的观点,于是做了以下测试。
那么在讲解我的测试方法之前,按照惯例,现来讲以下dango中fastcgi模式的一些知识点。
dango的fastcgi模式有如下几个重要参数:
protocol=PROTOCOL fcgi, scgi, ajp, ... (default fcgi)
host=HOSTNAME hostname to listen on..
port=PORTNUM port to listen on.
socket=FILE UNIX socket to listen on.
method=IMPL prefork or threaded (default prefork)
maxrequests=NUMBER number of requests a child handles before it is
killed and a new child is forked (0 = no limit).
maxspare=NUMBER max number of spare processes / threads
minspare=NUMBER min number of spare processes / threads.
maxchildren=NUMBER hard limit number of processes / threads
daemonize=BOOL whether to detach from terminal.
pidfile=FILE write the spawned process-id to this file.
workdir=DIRECTORY change to this directory when daemonizing.
outlog=FILE write stdout to this file.
errlog=FILE write stderr to this file.
umask=UMASK umask to use when daemonizing (default 022).
相信做java的同学一看就比较明白了,很多参数和tomcat中是一样的,主要有一个host,port,socket需要讲解一下,host和port我们知道应该是成对出现的,那么socket是什么呢,其实他们都是socket,只不过,host+port模式是tcp sock,而socket是unix sock,他们都是套接字,一个是操作系统本地的,一个是网络套接字而已。
我的测试工具是apachbench,简称ab,在apache的bin目录中有这个工具。我的web服务器是lighttpd1.4。
我一共划分了4个场景,第一个场景是操作数据库的请求,第二个场景是请求缓存的场景,而且使用线程模型,第3和第4个场景都是fastcgi的进程模型。
场景一
涉及到查数据库的url,每次请求一条简单的sql语句。
python manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=3033 daemonize=false

5000 25 23.37s
5000 10 23.37s
5000 100 21.58s
场景二
不涉及到数据的url,执行一段判断后返回(可以认为数据都放在缓存中)。

场景一和场景 二对比可以发现,带有数据操作的请求明显需要更多的时间,之间从缓存中拿数据,每秒中fastcgi可以处理1000个请求。
场景三
不涉及到数据的url,执行一段判断后返回(可以认为数据都放在缓存中)。使用进程模型。
python manage.py runfcgi method=prefork host=127.0.0.1 port=3033

通过场景二和三的对比,我们可以看出线程模型在默认情况下比进程模型更加快。不过根据操作系统的特性,ahuaxuan认为事有蹊跷。理论上来讲,在速度方面,进程模型不应该比线程模型慢,虽然网上有的文章确实有提到线程模型比进程模型快,不过ahuaxuan觉得他们的测试是有问题的。在研究了django的fastcgi参数之后,再根据做java的经验我发现问题可能出现在进程的创建上。于是调整参数,继续测试。
场景四
不涉及到数据的url,执行一段判断后返回(可以认为数据都放在缓存中)。将最大进程数和最小进程数调整到50。
python manage.py runfcgi method=prefork host=127.0.0.1 port=3033 daemonize=false minspare=50 maxspare=50
请求数 并发数 总时间
5000 100 8.16s
第一次:
Concurrency Level: 100
Time taken for tests: 9.682 seconds
Complete requests: 5000
Failed requests: 0
Write errors: 0
Total transferred: 5557585 bytes
HTML transferred: 4685000 bytes
Requests per second: 516.42 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 193.642 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 1.936 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 560.55 [Kbytes/sec] received
第二次
Concurrency Level: 100
Time taken for tests: 5.134 seconds
Complete requests: 5000
Failed requests: 0
Write errors: 0
Total transferred: 5560000 bytes
HTML transferred: 4685000 bytes
Requests per second: 973.84 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 102.686 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 1.027 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 1057.53 [Kbytes/sec] received
分析,一模一样的两次请求,为什么差两倍的速度呢,根据ahuaxuan的分析,问题应该出在进程的创建上,第二次测试,由于进程已经存在,所以速度非常的快,比线程模型快了2倍不到一点。

对比场景三和场景四发现,在进程模式下在没有指定maxspare和minspare值的情况下,由于每次并发大的时候都动态的去创建进程,效率明显下降,5000个请求居然需要20s之多。而一旦设置了maxspare和minspare之后,只有第一次请求的时候,需要创建进程,之后经常已经存在,不需要创建,也不需要动态的消亡(maxspare和minspare值太小会导致fastcgi父进程频繁的创建和销毁子进程,非常的消耗cpu),整个应用程序的处理能力大大提高。
再对比场景二和场景四,可以发现不管是进程模式还是线程模式,每秒都能处理超过1000次的请求。而且在并发较大的情况下,进程模式效率更高。由此可见在网站访问量巨大的情况下,使用进程模型才是比较好的选择,而不是网上所说的使用线程模型。
后来为了作对比,ahuaxuan在线程模型上也加了maxspare=50,minspare=50,不过性能和没有加几乎一样,可见,这两个参数对进程模型的影响比较大。而且也可以进一步说明操作系统创建进程消耗确实大。
从这个对比结果,我们还可以得知:
1线程创建在ubuntu中的代价比进程小的多。(根据观察,在创建进程的时候,cpu上升到100%,而线程模型的cpu只有80%的样子)
2在进程已经存在的情况下,处理请求的能力,进程要比线程能力强。而且要强出1/3左右的样子
最后,贴出我的机器配置
cpu:t8100
内存:2g
硬盘:5400转的希捷
希望本文能够给对django性能有怀疑,以及对fastcgi下认为线程模型更快的同学有所帮助。
