29 \- A system-level benchmarking tool
32 \fB/usr/benchmarks/sysbench/bin/sysbench\fP
33 [general-options]... [\fB\--test=<test-name>\fP] [test-options]... command
38 program is a a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a database under intensive load.
40 The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or even without installing a database at all.
42 Current features allow testing of the following system parameters:
44 * file I/O performance
45 * scheduler performance
46 * memory allocation and transfer speed
47 * POSIX threads implementation performance
48 * database server performance (OLTP benchmark)
50 Full documentation can be found at the project home page: http://sysbench.sourceforge.net/
54 The following general options are supported:
55 --num-threads=N number of threads to use [1]
56 --max-requests=N limit for total number of requests [10000]
57 --max-time=N limit for total execution time in seconds [0]
58 --thread-stack-size=SIZE size of stack per thread [32K]
59 --init-rng=[on|off] initialize random number generator [off]
60 --test=STRING test to run
61 --debug=[on|off] print more debugging info [off]
62 --validate=[on|off] perform validation checks where possible [off]
63 --help=[on|off] print help and exit
64 --version=[on|off] print version and exit
66 The compiled-in tests are:
67 fileio - File I/O test
68 cpu - CPU performance test
69 memory - Memory functions speed test
70 threads - Threads subsystem performance test
71 mutex - Mutex performance test
