Tests

Our battery of tests consists of four programs,
|
|
|
|
|
read_8192, write_8192, write_4096
|
|
|
|
|
and rewrite_8192 originally written by [McKusick83]
|
|
|
|
|
to evaluate the performance of the new file system in 4.2BSD.
|
1996-10-05 18:37:31 +00:00
|
|
|
These programs all follow the same model and are typified by
|
1994-05-30 19:09:18 +00:00
|
|
|
read_8192 shown here.
|
|
|
|
|
.DS
|
|
|
|
|
#define BUFSIZ 8192
|
|
|
|
|
main( argc, argv)
|
|
|
|
|
char **argv;
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
char buf[BUFSIZ];
|
|
|
|
|
int i, j;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
j = open(argv[1], 0);
|
|
|
|
|
for (i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
|
|
|
|
|
read(j, buf, BUFSIZ);
|
|
|
|
|
}

|
|
|
|
The remaining programs are included in appendix A.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
These programs read, write with two different blocking factors,
|
|
|
|
|
and rewrite logical files in structured file system on the disk
|
|
|
|
|
under test.
|
|
|
|
|
The write programs create new files while the rewrite program
|
|
|
|
|
overwrites an existing file.
|
|
|
|
|
Each of these programs represents an important segment of the
|
|
|
|
|
typical UNIX file system activity with the read program
|
|
|
|
|
representing by far the largest class and the rewrite the smallest.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
A blocking factor of 8192 is used by all programs except write_4096.
|
|
|
|
|
This is typical of most 4.2BSD user programs since a standard set of
|
|
|
|
|
I/O support routines is commonly used and these routines buffer
|
|
|
|
|
data in similar block sizes.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
For each test run, a empty eight Kilobyte block
|
|
|
|
|
file system was created in the target
|
|
|
|
|
storage system.
|
|
|
|
|
Then each of the four tests was run and timed.
|
|
|
|
|
Each test was run three times;
|
|
|
|
|
the first to clear out any useful data in the cache,
|
|
|
|
|
and the second two to insure that the experiment
|
|
|
|
|
had stablized and was repeatable.
|
|
|
|
|
Each test operated on eight Megabytes of data to
|
|
|
|
|
insure that the cache did not overly influence the results.
|
|
|
|
|
Another file system was then initialized using a
|
|
|
|
|
basic blocking factor of four Kilobytes and the same tests
|
|
|
|
|
were run again and timed.
|
|
|
|
|
A command script for a run appears as follows:
