For instance, Machines with Intel CPUs will beat almost anything for integer math, will perform OK for floating point math (which is fine as you hardly ever need it for an ISP), and will perform quite well for network and disk IO. If you do some benchmarks expect the latest Intel/AMD-based machines to outperform your Sun and your Mac on every test. IO is one area that PCs can really stand out. Software RAID on Linux with ATA-100 hard drives can easily outperform Sun hardware RAID arrays costing 100 times more money. Another issue is that of reliability. If something dies and you go off-line then you lose money! Use RAID for all hard drives. Wherever possible have several almost identical machines so that you can swap parts when things go wrong. Having a Sun and an Apple is a bad idea IMHO. If one of them breaks you can't easily get replacement parts. With PCs you can have three identical PCs so if the most important machine dies you can swap parts with less important machines. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
Creating sample data for testing
I am working on a new benchmark program and I need to create large amounts of
sample data (say 10M entries which comprise 3G of data). I am considering
writing a programming language to generate sample data files, it would have
basic variable assignment, loops, and the ability to call pre-defined
functions (no facility to write your own functions).
Below is a sample of code needed to generate an LDIF file for input to an
LDAP server. The "[0-9]" type notation means to generate multiple values of
a variable (or multiple copies of an entry depending on whether it's in the
variable declaration or entry data part). @file_name means to read a line
from a text file, $R means a random number, $PWGEN() is a function to
generate a "password" from the variable name using some basic hashing
function. This is designed so that a program to test password validation can
know the password for an account without needing to lookup a table. The
$MD5() function is to generate an MD5 hash of the password (I also plan to
support CRYPT, BLOWFISH, etc).
Now the question is, has someone done something like this before well enough
to save me having to do it? If not can anyone offer suggestions on
implementation? I anticipate that this will be easiest to write in Perl, but
as I am not such a good Perl programmer I may code it in C++ anyway unless
someone offers some Perl assistance.

If something dies and you go off-line then you lose money! Use RAID for all hard drives. Wherever possible have several almost identical machines so that you can swap parts when things go wrong. Having a Sun and an Apple is a bad idea IMHO. If one of them breaks you can't easily get replacement parts. With PCs you can have three identical PCs so if the most important machine dies you can swap parts with less important machines. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The machine wouldn't I think that should be a grave bug in the package.

Any advice would be appreciated :) Another thing you can do is enable the SAK which easily enables you to kill the offending process (such init script programs tend to have /dev/console open at the time they fail). -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
