PenguinoMeter: A New File-I/O Benchmark for Linux®
Ray Bryant, Dave Raddatz, Roger Sunshine, Times N Systems, Austin, Texas
Abstract
PenguinoMeter is a new open-source benchmark for Linux that measures file-system data transfer rates.
PenguinoMeter allows the user to specify the file-system workload to be used in the benchmark in a very flexible
manner. The workload specification is patterned after that of the Intel® Iometer benchmark; the current version of
PenguinoMeter can read configuration files produced by Iometer. A series of comparisons between Iometer and
PenguinoMeter is used to demonstrate that the workloads generated by these two programs appear to be identical.
As an example use of PenguinoMeter, we compare the file system performance of Microsoft® Windows® 2000
Professional and Linux 2.4.9.
