内存测试工具-Lmbench

简介：

lmbench是个用于评价系统综合性能的多平台开源benchmark，能够测试包括文档读写、内存操作、进程创建销毁开销、网络等性能，测试方法简单。

Lmbench是个多平台软件，因此能够对同级别的系统进行比较测试，反映不同系统的优劣势，通过选择不同的库函数我们就能够比较库函数的性能；更为重要的是，作为一个开源软件，lmbench提供一个测试框架，假如测试者对测试项目有更高的测试需要，能够通过少量的修改源代码达到目的（比如现在只能评测进程创建、终止的性能和进程转换的开销，通过修改部分代码即可实现线程级别的性能测试）。

主要功能：

*带宽测评工具

—读取缓存文件

—拷贝内存

—读内存

—写内存

—管道

—TCP

* 反应时间测评工具

—上下文切换

—网络： 连接的建立，管道，TCP，UDP和RPC hot potato

—文件系统的建立和删除

—进程创建

—信号处理

—上层的系统调用

—内存读入反应时间

* 其他

—处理器时钟比率计算

测试过程：

 

1. To run the benchmark, you should be able to say:

cd src
# make results实际调用了两个脚本，scripts/lmbench 和 scripts/config-run
make results

 

 

1. If you want to see how you did compared to the other system resultsincluded here, say

# 实际调用命令为cd results && make summary percent 2>/dev/null | more
make see

 

其他：

Be warned that many of these benchmarks are sensitive to other things being run on the system, mainly from CPU cache and CPU cycle effects. So make sure your screen saver is not running, etc. It's a good idea to do several runs and compare the output like so

make results
make rerun
make rerun
make rerun
cd Results && make LIST=/*

 

报错及解决办法  

• make报错：

  make[2]: *** 没有规则可以创建“bk.ver”需要的目标“../SCCS/s.ChangeSet”。 停止。
  make[2]:正在离开目录 `/home/hero/lmbench3/src'
  make[1]: *** [lmbench] 错误 2
  make[1]:正在离开目录 `/home/hero/lmbench3/src'
  make: *** [build] 错误 2

 

• 解决办法：

lmbench3目录下
  #mkdir SCCS
  #touch  ./SCCS/s.ChangeSet
  #make

 

测试结果：

 

cd results && make summary percent 2>/dev/null | more
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/test/lmbench3/results'
