Once you have configuredthese parameters, you may do multiple runs by saying"make rerun"in the src subdirectory.NOTICE: please do not have any other activity on the system if you canhelp it. Things like the second hand on your xclock or X perfmetersare not so good when benchmarking. In fact, X is not so good whenbenchmarking.=====================================================================Hang on, we are calculating your timing granularity.OK, it looks like you can time stuff down to 1000000 usec resolution.Hang on, we are calculating your timing overhead.OK, it looks like your gettimeofday() costs 0 usecs.Hang on, we are calculating your loop overhead.OK, it looks like your benchmark loop costs 0.00025656 usecs.=====================================================================Several benchmarks operate on a range of memory. This memory should besized such that it is at least 4 times as big as the external cache[s]on your system. It should be no more than 80% of your physical memory.The bigger the range, the more accurate the results, but larger sizestake somewhat longer to run the benchmark.MB [default 529] Checking to see if you have 529 MB; please wait for a moment...529MB OK529MB OK529MB OK=====================================================================This benchmark measures, by default, memory latency for a number ofdifferent strides. That can take a long time and is most useful if youare trying to figure out your cache line size or if your cache line sizeis greater than 128 bytes.If you are planning on sending in these results, please don't do a fastrun.If you are measuring software only, you probably want to do a fast run,so answer yes below. Answering yes means that we measure memory latencywith a 128 byte stride. FASTMEM [default no] =====================================================================This benchmark measures, by default, file system latency. That cantake a long time on systems with old style file systems (i.e., UFS,FFS, etc.). Linux' ext2fs and Sun's tmpfs are fast enough that thistest is not painful.If you are planning on sending in these results, please don't do a fastrun.If you want to skip the file system latency tests, answer "yes" below.SLOWFS [default no] =====================================================================This benchmark can measure disk zone bandwidths and seek times. These canbe turned into whizzy graphs that pretty much tell you everything you mightneed to know about the performance of your disk. This takes a while and requires read access to a disk drive. Write is not measured, see disk.c to see how if you want to do so.If you want to skip the disk tests, hit return below.If you want to include disk tests, then specify the path to the diskdevice, such as /dev/sda. For each disk that is readable, you'll beprompted for a one line description of the drive, i.e., Iomega IDE ZIPorHP C3725S 2GB on 10MB/sec NCR SCSI busDISKS [default none] =====================================================================Calculating mhz, please wait for a moment...mhz: should take approximately 297 secondsI think your CPU mhz is 4907 MHz, 0.20 nanosec clockbut I am frequently wrong. If that is the wrong Mhz, type in yourbest guess as to your processor speed. It doesn't have to be exact,but if you know it is around 800, say 800. Type in just the Mhz part, like 3060 or 2800 for 3.06GHz or 2.8GHz P4s.Processor mhz [default 4907 MHz, 0.20 nanosec clock] =====================================================================We need a place to store a 264 Mbyte file as well as create and delete alarge number of small files. We default to /usr/tmp. If /usr/tmp is amemory resident file system (i.e., tmpfs), pick a different place.Please specify a directory that has enough space and is a local filesystem.FSDIR [default /tmp] =====================================================================If you are running on an idle network and there are other, identicallyconfigured systems, on the same wire (no gateway between you and them),and you have rsh access to them, then you should run the network partof the benchmarks to them. Please specify any such systems as a spaceseparated list such as: ether-host fddi-host hippi-host.REMOTE [default none] =====================================================================lmbench outputs status information as it runs various benchmarks.By default this output is sent to /dev/tty, but you may redirectit to any file you wish (such as /dev/null...).Status output file [default /dev/tty] =====================================================================There is a database of benchmark results that is shipped with newreleases of lmbench. Your results can be included in the databaseif you wish. The more results the better, especially if they includeremote networking. If your results are interesting, i.e., for a newfast box, they may be made available on the lmbench web page, which ishttp://www.bitmover.com/lmbenchMail results [default yes] =====================================================================Please tell us about your machine. There is a form we would like youto fill out that we will make available with the results. If you wouldprefer to use a different editor, tell us the editor at the prompt.If you want to skip filling out this form (please don't) then answer "none" at the prompt.Editor [default vi] =====================================================================Configuration done, thanks.There is a mailing list for discussing lmbench hosted at BitMover. Send mail to [e-mail] to join the list.Results going to ../results/i686-pc-linux-gnu/Joseph.0Using config in CONFIG.JosephMon Apr 11 05:25:21 EDT 2011Latency measurements
