Hi all, I am investigating unpredictability in systems and am attempting to measure the effect of different replacement policies on cache timing. I am using the classic (non-Ruby) cache objects. Currently the caches start empty, so I am getting identical timing measurements for each execution.
I have tried using the warmup_percentage parameter, but I note that in stats.txt, when I set it to 100, the cache.tags.warmup_cycle tick is equal to 0. My question is, is there a built-in way to warm up the caches by filling them with random data before I measure the timing of the caches? Or do I need to make my own warm up program? Is it better to use Ruby caches in this use-case? Thanks in advance for your help, Sam
