Are config files or documentation available for any linux system tuning that was done for the benchmarking?

[brucekirkpatrick]

I have been adjusting nginx and sysctl.conf settings trying to reproduce the results shown on techempower framework benchmarks. It seems like the settings I'm changing do help, but I don't get the extremely fast results you guys have published, it's about 4 times slower currently on localhost testing. I'm not sure if you have the linux system configuration documented somewhere for security limits, sysctl and the web server/framework. I can see a few things in the project, but not a complete list of the settings.

Can someone send me a link or explain where the server configuration is stored in the project?

I browsed the github project and the files, and I can't see anything. I don't know if there is something in vagrant or docker files that is defining this.

I found this file: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/frameworks/C/nginx/nginx.conf I used some of these settings, but nothing changed performance compared to what i was experiencing. I also tried the listen options and location = /plaintext url and that isn't making it faster either.

I also get about 10% faster results then that nginx.conf with some of those settings configured differently so there are a lot of factors involved in this that are very sensitive to adjustments.

Thanks!
