Performance Testing ResultsUnder Construction This following work is under construction so please bear with us as we write the content for this section. Comments would be appreciated. Performance Testing InitiativeThe is the beginning of a new performance testing initiative for the Fedora Repository and components integrated into Fedora Commons Framework. This work builds upon the superb performance tests and analysis performed by Fiz Karlsruhe and the performance testing included in each release of the Fedora Repository. We hope this will provide a common performance testing framework and begin a community effort to characterize Fedora performance to document best practices for configuration and identify bottlenecks for subsequent software development. Testing FrameworkPerformance testing will be accomplished using testbeds kindly provided by a number of community sources. Testing will also be accomplished using Cloud infrastructure such as Amazon's offerings. Details of the test configurations will be documented in this Wiki as the configurations are implemented. In most cases a test configuration will always consists of at least four parts:
Other typical components include:
The load injector selected for the initial round of tests is The Grinder which is available from Sourceforge.net. This software is open source and freely available to anyone. Details about The Grinder will be provided on subsequent pages. |
