<h2>プロジェクトの目標</h2>
<p>FreeBSD 次世代 Symmetric Multi-Processing プロジェクト (しばしば SMPng
と呼ばれます) は、FreeBSD カーネルの並列化に成功しました。
FreeBSD の初期のバージョン (3.x, 4.x) では、
ユーザプロセスの並列化には対応していましたが、
カーネルを同時に実行できるプロセッサは 1 つに限られていました。
カーネルにおける "Giant lock" では、
1 つ以上のカーネルスレッドや、ハンドラが同時に実行できません。
多くの興味深い作業により、Giant-lock されたカーネルは、
ユーザプロセスにおいて、重い作業が行われている時
(特に、レンダリングやコンパイル時) に、
単一プロセッサのシステムに比べるとかなり速くなりました。
しかしながら、ネットワークやファイルシステム
I/O などのカーネルをよく使うアプリケーションでは、
カーネルロックの競合のため、スピードはまったく上がらないか、
上がったとしても少しでした。
SMPng プロジェクトの目的は、Giant lock を多くの小さなロックに分解し、
競合を減らす (SMP のパフォーマンスを改善する) ことでした。
この方針の重要なステップには、ユビキタス並列化
(すべてのプロセッサは、いつでもカーネルに同時に入ることができる)
に関する
FreeBSD カーネルアーキテクチャの重要な再設計がありました。
これには、より成熟したスレッドの導入、同期プリミティブ、
interrupt スレッド、キャッシュ-アウェアアロケーション、
およびスケジューリング、そして、
トポロジーアウェアスケジュールが含まれます。</p>
<p>FreeBSD プロジェクトは、
あるシステムコンポーネントにおける初期のロック戦略、
開発時点のソースコードだけでなく、技術の方向性や意見に対しする
BSD/OS 開発者チームの貢献に感謝します。
言うまでもなく、このプロジェクトの初期のスタッフおよびリソースにおいても
BSDI の貢献がありました。
また、重要なスポンサーである Yahoo!, Isilon, the FreeBSD Foundation
に対しても感謝します。</p>
<a name="status"></a>
<h2>プロジェクトの状況</h2>
<p>まだ FreeBSD カーネルの一部のセクション
(特に、目につかないデバイスドライバ、ファイルシステム)
が Giant を必要としていますが、
カーネルの多くの場所では Giant lock を必要とせず、また
Giant lock とともに実行されません。
FreeBSD 6.0 では、
カーネルのほとんどの重要な部分でカーネルの並列化処理に移行できたため、
SMPng プロジェクトは "完了した" と考えています。
このウェブページは、ほとんどが歴史的なもので、
タスクリストなどの項目の状態を完全なものにするような更新はされません。</p>
<a name="history"></a>
<h2>プロジェクトの歴史</h2>
<p>SMPng は、2003 年 1 月の 5.0-RELEASE においてデビューしました。
これは、数多くの外部の貢献者、FreeBSD 開発者チームによる
5 年以上の継続した開発の成果です。
5.0 からは、実装はほぼ成熟しました。5.0 リリースにおいて、
SMPng サポートに必要な基本的な技術部分の変更が終了しました。
ここでは、新しいカーネルメモリのアロケータ、同期ルーチン、ithreads への移行、
プロセススケジュールや IPC の共通フォームからの Giant lock の削除が行われました。
5.0 からは、数々の方法によって、アーキテクチャが洗練されました。
同期アプローチの最適化、大規模なシステム (32 プロセッサスレッドまで)
における安定化とパフォーマンス試験、
Virtual Memory (VM), Virtual File System (VFS), UNIX File System (UFS) や
ネットワークスタックの多くの場所
(IPv4, IPV6, FAST_IPSEC, UNIX ドメインソケットおよび NetGraph) 、
インタープロセスコミュニケーションプリミティブといった、
オペレーティングシステムの重要な場所からの Giant の削除が行われました。
SMP アウェアカーネルスラブアロケータは、現在ではほぼ一般的になり、
そして、焦点は、"動くようにする" から "最適化を行う" へと変わりました。
KSE 1:1 と M:N スレッドにおける同時実行は、アプリケーションに対し、
新しいカーネルにおける並列化のアドバンテージを提供します。
FreeBSD 5.3 カーネルは、
ネットワークスタックに関連するほとんどのコードパスにおいて、
Giant を用いないネットワークスタックを導入し、
FreeBSD 6.0 カーネルでは、パフォーマンスの最適化が拡大し、
同様に MPSAFE VFS が導入されました。</p>
<p>6.x ブランチにおける SMPng の継続的な開発では、
NFS やネットワークスタックコンポーネントなどあまり使われないような場所に残されている
Giant を外すという "仕事のやり残し" も行われています。</p>
<p>SMPng を通じて重要な焦点は、
SMPng アーキテクチャの構築と改良によるパフォーマンスの測定と最適化でした。
kernel trace facility (KTR),
hardware performance monitor counters (hwpmc), lock profiling、
そしてメモリモニタリングプレイの改良などの機能の導入は重要な役割を果たしました。
その他の重要なデバッグやテスト機構は、WITNESS、
実行時のカーネルロックの順序の検証、広く使われるロックアサーション、
そして実行時の不変性の試験などです。</p>
<a name="plan"></a>
<h2>プロジェクトのプラン (Historical)</h2>
<p>本ウェブページは、SMPng の成果に関連する情報を含んでいます。
この作業の膨大な範囲と急速な開発のため、
ここでは、行われたも作業の一部のみしかとらえていません。
fine-grained ロックに移行するという SMPng プロジェクトのベースは完了したので、
この頁の情報はほとんど歴史的なものです。
ロックおよびマルチプロセッサのパフォーマンスに関する現在の作業は反映していません。</p>
<p>以下のタスクリストは、完全なものを目指したものではありません。
全体の仕事に関連したり重要な要素をまとめたものです。
"Responsible" フィールドは、
そのタスクを達成するのに責任を持ちたいという意思を示した開発者を記載したものであり、
このタスクを他のメンバーが行うことを除外するものではありません。
このフィールドは、担当グループとの調整を行うことで、
必要のない重複した作業を避け、最大限に開発が進むことができるようにすることを意図しています。
もし、新しい領域の作業がかなり大きかったり、
まだ、求められていないようであれば、何かしらの進展がないかどうか、
FreeBSD SMP メーリングリストへメールを送信する価値があります。</p>
<p>日付フィールドの持つ意味は、タスクのステータスに依存します。
完了したタスクについては、そのタスクが完了した日、
または完了が報告された日です。
現在進行中のタスクに関しては、エントリを最後にアップデートした日付を表します。
停止したタスクについては、タスクが停止したことを宣言した日、
新しいタスクについては、タスクが一覧に追加された日を意味します。</p>
<p>個々のデバイスドライバのロックの状況については、
<a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/busdma/">the busdma and
SMPng driver conversion web page</a> において公開されています。
また、試験目的に <a href="../../ja/projects/netperf/cluster.html">network performance
cluster</a> が構築されました。</p>
<p>ネットワークスタックのロックの状況については、&a.rwatson; の
<a href="http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/netperf/">netperf
ウェブページ</a>、および FreeBSD.org の <a href="../projects/netperf/">Netperf

<li>
<p>&a.rwatson; threw the switch to change the network stack to run
without the Giant lock by default, permitting the network stack to be
run on multiple CPUs at a time, as well as to preempt and be
preempted by other code.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<b>30 October 2003</b>
<ul>
<li>
<p>&a.grog; submitted a
<a href="http://www.lemis.com/grog/SMPng/Singapore/">FreeBSD SMPng paper</a>
to the <a href="http://www.aeosc.org/">Asian Enterprise Open Source
Conference</a> in Singapore. The paper presents a historical view of
SMPng development through 2001, but omits discussion of more recent
progress on the SMPng project, such as substantial performance enhancements
resulting from extensive lock pushdown in the storage subsystem, VM
subsystem, and major IPC subsystems.</p>

<p>The SMP code has been committed. All further work is being
done in cvs rather than with patches.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>An updated <a

<li>
<p>An updated <a

interrupt, uses locked instructions for mutexes in MP kernels,
and corrects mtx_*() linkage within modules.</p>
</li>

<b>1 September 2000</b>

<li>
<p>The code is working for the most part now on i386 (UP and MP).
Some additional coding is still necessary for the alpha,
which is being done now.</p>

<b>30 August 2000</b>
