[SSI-users] RE: [SSI-devel] Modified version of Netpipe for openssi

[Walker, B. J <bru...@hp...>]

A little clarification:
Unmodified netpipe measures at least:
  - inet socket performance across machines (thus measuring network
performance at some level;
  - unix domain socket performance on a single machine;
  - pipe performance on a single machine;

Gopal has modified netpipe (as the Kerrighed folks did) to allow
measuring pipe and unix domain socket performance between processes
running on different nodes.  =20

He provides a README in the download area.  It was a little unclear to
me how to run each of the tests but I think:
A. to run the pipe test, just add the -M #, which will migrate the
process on one end of the pipe to node # before the test starts
measuring thruput.
B. to run the unix domain socket test, I think you have to start 2
independent processes (transmitter and receiver) and you can force
either of these onto different nodes.

Note that the performance of pipes and unix domain sockets was improved
in 1.2.0 (after the Kerrighed performance report was written).

Hi,
I have modified the Netpipe test suite to measure the network
performance of openssi. The test suite and README is available in
openssi.org and link is as shown below.

http://www.openssi.org/contrib/Netpipe-ssi/

Please send your comments and feedback and any suggestion to mailing
list.

Thanks and regards,
Gopal.
