The original program is at http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c Based on this multi-process version, a nice person created a multi-thread version. Pls. see http://www.bullopensource.org/posix/pi-futex/hackbench_pth.c When I integrated them into my automation testing system, I found a couple of issues and did some improvements. 1) Merge hackbench: I integrated hackbench_pth.c into hackbench and added a new parameter which can be used to choose process mode or thread mode. The default mode is process. 2) It runs too fast and ends in a couple of seconds. Sometimes it's too hard to debug the issues. On my ia64 Montecito machines, the result looks weird when comparing process mode and thread mode. I want a stable result and hope the testing could run for a stable longer time, so I might use performance tools to debug issues. I added another new parameter,`loops`, which can be used to change variable loops, so more messages will be passed from writers to receivers. Parameter 'loops' is equal to 100 by default. For example on my 8-core x86_64: [ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ uname -a Linux lkp-st01-x8664 2.6.24-rc6 #1 SMP Fri Dec 21 08:32:31 CST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench Usage: hackbench [-pipe] [process|thread] [loops] [ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench 150 process 1000 Time: 151.533 [ymzhang@lkp-st01-x8664 hackbench]$ ./hackbench 150 thread 1000 Time: 153.666 With the same new parameters, I did captured the SLUB issue discussed on LKML recently. 3) hackbench_pth.c will fail on ia64 machine because pthread_attr_setstacksize always fails if the stack size is less than 196*1024. I moved this statement within a __ia64__ check. This new program could be compiled with command line: #gcc -g -Wall -o hackbench hackbench.c -lpthread Thank Ingo for his great comments! -yanmin --- * Nathan Lynch wrote: > Here's a fixlet for the hackbench program found at > > http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/tools/hackbench.c > > When redirecting hackbench output I am seeing multiple copies of the > "Running with %d*40 (== %d) tasks" line.
