The parameters I'm using are: tiobench.pl --size 2048 --numruns 3 --threads 1 --threads 32 --threads 64 --threads 128 --size depends on ram and disk space. Early in 2.5, dbench 192 would exercise a bug or two. (requires about 5GB of disk space) Linux Test Project's runalltests.sh has occasionally triggered a bug. 2.5 took a drop in dbench throughput recently. dbench ext2 128 processes Average High Low(MB/sec) 2.5.19 18.60 21.69 14.58 2.5.20 12.89 13.15 12.79 2.5.21 12.67 12.94 12.51 If you want to benchmark some stuff while you're stress testing, http://home.earthlink.net/~rwhron/kernel/index.html might be a starting point for ideas. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
