Mutilate

Mutilate is a memcached load generator designed for high request rates, good tail-latency measurements, and realistic request stream generation.

Requirements

  1. A C++0x compiler
  2. scons
  3. libevent
  4. gengetopt
  5. zeromq (optional)

Building

apt-get install scons libevent-dev gengetopt libzmq-dev
scons

Usage

Type './mutilate -h' for a full list of command-line options. At minimum, a server must be specified.

$ ./mutilate -s localhost
#type       avg     min     1st     5th    10th    90th    95th    99th

Total QPS = 18416.6 (92083 / 5.0s)

Misses = 0 (0.0%)

TX    3315024 bytes :    0.6 MB/s

Mutilate reports the latency (average, minimum, and various percentiles) for get and set commands, as well as achieved QPS and network goodput.

To achieve high request rate, you must configure mutilate to use multiple threads, multiple connections, connection pipelining, or remote agents.

$ ./mutilate -s zephyr2-10g -T 24 -c 8
#type       avg     min     1st     5th    10th    90th    95th    99th
