what tools are the state of the art benchmarking tools for network, disk and
interrupt latency testing?
I need to do some kernel performance characterization on a dual xeon, dual Gb
ethernet, SCSI320/RAID system.
I need to measure network throughput vs CPU load, disk throughput, interrupt
latency, network to disk streaming and disk to net streaming.
I need to characterize the stock rh7.3 2.4 smp kernel, stock + pre-emption
patch, stock + latency patch and stock + both. I also need to test the same
basic combinations, but stripped and optimized for my specific hardware. I
know in a general way that I will probably find the most joy with
stripped/optimized + both, but I need specifics.
I also need to compare compiled in scsi and e-net vs modules
any recommendations for which sets of benchmarking tools to use would be
appreciated greatly
Thanks for your time,
Mark
