Performance Measurement
Description
Performance management in this context refers to the assessment of the system’s ability to handle various file types efficiently. The goal is to measure throughput across different configurations, ensuring optimal resource allocation and system stability. By analyzing scan rates, processing efficiency, and system bottlenecks, performance management helps in identifying improvements and maintaining consistent performance under different workloads.
Test Configurations
| Setup | CPU Cores | Ram | Parallel Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Config 1 | 8 | 16 GB | 5 |
| Config 2 | 16 | 32 GB | 10 |
| Config 3 | 20 | 32 GB | 15 |
For optimal performance, ensure that the number of CPU cores allocated is at least equal to the configured parallel count. This helps prevent resource bottlenecks and maximizes processing efficiency.

Average processing time per file
The average processing times shown are approximations, assuming that file types with dynamic analysis support often included dynamic analysis in their processing. This may slightly influence the observed times, especially for complex file types like executables and office documents.
Processing times in MetaDefender Core may vary slightly from these values, and real-world processing times can differ depending on the specific file type mix encountered in different environments.
