✨ chirp_benchmark — the vibe check for your Chirp server 💅

okay bestie, so this is chirp_benchmark(1) from the Cooperative Computing Tools manual, and it's literally the tool you use to do micro-performance tests on a Chirp server. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

chirp_benchmark — do micro-performance tests on a Chirp server

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

chirp_benchmark <host[:port]> <file> <loops> <cycles> <bwloops>

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so chirp_benchmark is out here testing a Chirp server's bandwidth and latency for various Remote Procedure Calls. it's giving scientist but make it cute. 🔬

the way it works: it uses a combination of RPCs — some that do use I/O bandwidth on the backend filesystem, and some that don't — so it can measure the latency properly. then it also tests the throughput for reading and writing to the given filename, with various block sizes. she's thorough, she's organized, she ate. 💅

for complete details with examples, see the Chirp User's Manual at http://ccl.cse.nd.edu/software/manuals/chirp.html — iykyk 📖

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

• success → returns zero 🎉
• failure → returns non-zero 😭

periodt.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

to test a Chirp server, you may use:

$ chirp_benchmark host:port foobar 10 10 10
getpid     1.0000 +/-    0.1414  usec
write1   496.3200 +/-   41.1547  usec
write8   640.0400 +/-   23.8790  usec
read1     41.0400 +/-   91.3210  usec
read8      0.9200 +/-    0.1789  usec
stat     530.2400 +/-   14.2425  usec
open    1048.1200 +/-   15.5097  usec

look at those numbers bestie, absolutely iconic. 👑
