Re: [Iometer-devel] [Iometer-user] iometer 2008-06-22 rc1

[ming z. <min...@gm...>]

Here is the change log since last release.

ChangeLog (IOMETER2 - 2008.06.18rc1):
==================================

-All of the following changes pertain to Windows. Infrastructure is in place
to
 enable this for other OSes but some coding is still required
 -The following defines must be turned on for successful compatibility with
the
  IOMeter GUI: USE_NEW_DISCOVERY_MECHANISM, FORCE_STRUCT_ALIGN (more info
below)

-New disk detection and common structure changes
(USE_NEW_DISCOVERY_MECHANISM)
 -volume mount point support
 -improved raw disk detection and soft raid awareness
 -improved networking detection
 -backwards compatiblity for older versions of Windows
 -new display names for disks in Iometer GUI (e.g. inquiry info for raw
disks)
 -display raw disks with partitions using /force_raw option in dynamo
  -iometer hierarchically chains raw disks to corresponding volumes if any
  -other OSes need to do some coding to enable this, else works as before

-Abstracted timer code
 -added speed step detection
 -default timer for x86 is Windows high-perf counter (Intel)
 -Win64 attempts the TSC first and falls back to high-perf counter
  -use /no_rdtsc in dynamo to disable the use of TSC and force high-perf
cntr
 -other OSes need to do some coding to enable this, else works as before

-CPU affinity (IOMTR_SETTING_CPU_AFFINITY)
 -existing cmdline option trims the affinity set to whatever you specify
 -each worker is now affinitized to a single CPU
 -CPUs are round robined within a given affinity mask
 -other OSes need to do some coding to enable, else default behavior

-Full 64bit disk sizes supported
 -including specifying start offset in GUI

-Structure packing (FORCE_STRUCT_ALIGN)
 -structure are 8byte aligned with compiler directive
 -should not need padding members for compatibility for other OSes

-Project/solution files
 -created new Visual Studio 2005 solution files in \msvc
  -binaries get deposited within there
 -ddk binaries will end up in \ddk once you run the first build



ChangeLog (IOMETER2 - 200X.XX.XX):
==================================

- New features:
   - Added a simple INSTALL file about how to install iometer and dynamo on
     various platforms.

- Bug fixes:
   - Patch by Ming Zhang to fix the way to get CPU utilization statistics
under
     Linux.
   - Patch by Ming Zhang to get CPU count from /proc/cpuinfo under Linux.
Old
     glibc way is buggy for 64bit Linux and XEN.

- Cleanup:
