[Iometer-devel] IOMETER for Linux network measurement ... "Grunt thread exiting with 1 still active" errors

[David, H. <how...@in...>]

We have been experimenting with IOMETER for Linux, for evaluating the interaction of power management with network traffic performance, and it works until we get into an endless loop of "*** Grunt thread exiting with 1 still active".  It's not a big deal if we get one of those messages when the IOMETER control function stops the test, but if we get hundreds of messages ... the resulting statistics are no good.



Is anyone using IOMETER with Linux for network performance testing?  Do any of you know who did this work most recently, at Intel?  There was an Intel contractor hen...@in... back in 2004, but he's not here any more.



I have not found another micro-benchmark that lets you shape the traffic, and observe the BW / average response / maximum response.  If IOMETER has been replaced by something more recent, we would like to know that.



Thank you,
