| |
Contest is a system responsiveness benchmark for kernel development looking at fair scheduling.
It can be found here: http://contest.kolivas.net
Aggelos Economopoulos has completed a massive rewrite of the contest benchmark in c to remove all BASH scripts and this will form the codebase for further versions of contest.
Changes since the last release: Complete change in the codebase, consolidation into one executable. FreeBSD compatibility Different format of the logs etc. Addition of cacherun and dbench_loads Rewrite of process_load by Rene Herman More detailed instructions Man Page Lots of internal changes
This version will give different results to previous versions of contest so to upgrade please delete all the .log files in your testbed directory.
Known Bugs: Contest will still run each kernel compilation if the load fails to initialise (eg dbench doesnt start) so please ensure all the necessary load applications are in your PATH Other minor annoyances
Aggelos is the main coder now but I am still the official maintainer so please direct all bug reports, comments, patches etc to me. Further releases are planned in the near future with minor changes, but results obtained from contest should be compatible with this version.
