Hoping to run my R code on WSL 2. Glad I got the answer. I wish you guys well on I/O issues.
Is there any performance hit for WSL2 in regard to process forking? I recall that how window and unix deal with process is different (my R code uses mclapply parallel package for unix). I'm curious if there will be any performance hit that stands out versus running on a unix system for parallel/concurrency code.
- kumarharsh 7y agoOn Reddit, they had a benchmark for WSL1 vs WSL2 and it showed that the Single core perf of WSL2 was sometimes better than Windows (and even bare metal linux - how that happened I am not sure). The multi-core was not as good, but still better than WSL1. I can't find that exact thread right now, but here's another one comparing WSL with Windows: https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/c1r6w0/wsl2_ubuntu_vs_windows_pro_18917_insider/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/c1r6...
- londons_explore 7y agoI bet the windows hardware drivers for initialising caches, memory busses, power states, cooling etc. set certain systems up for slightly better performance.
