hey Marion, If you need just the binaries for 1.0.0, then you can either simply upgrade to the latest ON build (76+) or if you download the source and build it, then you'll create the package (SUNWfilebench) yourself. Sorry for the delay, but we do have someone cleaning up the Makefiles/putting a package up on the sourceforge site. We chose to release the work we had instead of sitting on it longer.
For a gunzip/gzip workload, that would actually be a really cool thing to add. We do have workloads that create lots of files. I would suspect that is what's really hurting you over NFS (as file creates become synchronous over NFS). If that's the case, then you can try out createfiles.f or fileserver.f. To simulate gzip properly, make sure you run the workloads single-threaded (nthreads set to 1). If you're interested in creating a more realistic gunzip/gzip workload, then check out: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/FileBench_Workload_Language In particular, the 'hog' flowp: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/FileBench_Workload_Language#hog Its a way of consuming CPU cycles (to simulate compression). eric This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
