Hi mike,

We found that, in case of write through caches, the test results were consistent for all caching solution with EnhanceIO providing better throughput in comparison to bcache and dm-cache. However, under write-back mode, dm-cache showed a large standard deviation. The results for EnhanceIO and bcache were consistent with EnhanceIO providing higher throughput when compared to bcache.

We have performed 5 runs for all our performance tests and observed their mean and standard deviations. 
The test results can be found at: https://gist.github.com/sanoj-stec/5858574
The test scripts can be found at:  https://github.com/stec-inc/EnhanceIO/tree/master/performance_test
