C# FileStream：写入大文件的最佳缓冲区大小？

Question

假设我正在将几个文件写入磁盘，大小在 2MB 到 5GB 之间。 FileStream 的合理缓冲区值是多少？

使用几兆字节的缓冲区大小是否明智，还是应该坚持使用千字节缓冲区？

Answer 1

默认缓冲区大小为 4 KiB。

.NET Framework 中顺序文件访问的编程模式进行了描述并测量了性能。默认行为在单个磁盘上提供出色的性能 – 读取速度为 50 MBps 和写作。使用大请求大小并进行文件预分配在可能的情况下具有可量化的效益。当人们考虑磁盘时阵列，.NET 无缓冲 IO 在 16 磁盘阵列上提供 800 MBps，但是缓冲 IO 可提供大约 12% 的性能。最后，高性能文件和数据库实用程序仍然被迫使用无缓冲 IO 可实现最大顺序性能。报告是附有演示概念的可下载源代码以及用于获取这些测量值的代码。

基于所引用文档的快速小基准测试显示，缓冲区大小大于 128KB 的系统上的性能没有提高。您的里程可能会有所不同，请随意使用以下内容。

        Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
        Random rand = new Random();  // seed a random number generator
        int numberOfBytes = 2 << 22; //8,192KB File
        byte nextByte;
        for (int i = 1; i <= 28; i++) //Limited loop to 28 to prevent out of memory
        {
            sw.Start();
            using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(
                String.Format(@"C:\TEMP\TEST{0}.DAT", i),  // name of file
                FileMode.Create,    // create or overwrite existing file
                FileAccess.Write,   // write-only access
                FileShare.None,     // no sharing
                2 << i,             // block transfer of i=18 -> size = 256 KB
                FileOptions.None))  
            {
                for (int j = 0; j < numberOfBytes; j++)
                {
                    nextByte = (byte)(rand.Next() % 256); // generate a random byte
                    fs.WriteByte(nextByte);               // write it
                } 
            }
            sw.Stop();
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Buffer is 2 << {0} Elapsed: {1}", i, sw.Elapsed));
            sw.Reset();
        }

Answer 3

TLDR：缓冲区大小通常并不重要。微观优化其他东西。只是不要对大文件使用低于 128KiB 的缓冲区，或者在 FileStream 上设置 useAsync=true。

对这个问题没有明确的答案感到有点恼火。这是我创建的测试的日志。测试在辅助 SSD 上运行，以避免操作系统和一般使用造成结果偏差。

“文件”和“缓冲区”以字节为单位。

简短回答：对于大文件，设置缓冲区大小 >81920 并在写入之前预分配所有文件大小。

长答案：

小于物理扇区大小的缓冲区会受到惩罚，并且不得使用小于 4096 字节的缓冲区，因为自 2011 年以来，磁盘在扇区中使用 4096 字节（又名 4K 本机，4Kn），现在一些 SSD 的扇区大于4096 字节。
对于大文件，您必须在写入之前预先分配它的大小（设置 FileStream 的长度）。这将加快复制过程，因为文件系统只会增加文件大小一次。
如果您查看 .NET Source FileStream，请使用 4096 作为默认缓冲区大小。对于涉及异步操作的复制过程，管道使用 81920 作为默认缓冲区大小，并使用 2M 作为最大缓冲区大小。
