Benchmarking (Part 5): Linux Hardware/Software Testing and Validation with Phoronix

Posted June 11th, 2008 at 09:26 by chrisplough
Hello!

Okay - so we all know the drill -- I'm a sucker for benchmarking and base a lot of the decisions here at MavenWire on the results (hardware/software/OS directions, performance recommendations, etc). Since we've based our Hosting infrastructure on Linux, we needed a way to quickly and reliably test the performance of various servers and also validate new servers before putting them into service. Luckily, another company (Phoronix Media) had the exact same need and created test...

Exit Stage Right or Left?

Posted May 19th, 2008 at 14:53 by ianlo
I am not a theatrical guy and probably never will be. My only foray into a production was as a big bully in a church production. But I must say that it was an good experience. The singing recordings, rehearsals, stage management was an eye-opener in all that is required to produce a decent play. [ And its tough work - it takes a passionate person to do this kind of stuff - so hats off to all who are involved in theater! ]

It is no wonder that I can sometimes confuse stage right from...

The funny thing about being in the logistics industry is that when it comes to your own logistics, all the lessons you have learnt at your job - about being disciplined in your packing, labeling, securing and coordinating - gets thrown out the door. At least for me that is

Just for the record, I have moved house 22 times in 32 years. Yes - thats 1 move every 1.45454545 years. (now you know my age). The secret to a surviving that many moves is not to keep anything for long...

Benchmarking (Part 4): Real-World Network Performance with Soap Stone

Posted April 21st, 2008 at 18:16 by chrisplough
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark real-world network performance using Soap Stone. I like this benchmark more than standard network throughput tests (ttcp, NetIO, etc) because it uses the Java JVM (just as OTM does) and it also utilizes application protocols that are similar to OTMs -- so rather than a meaningless throughput number, the results reflect the throughput you'll see with OTM and other multi-tier Java applications. Specifically, I test 3 protocols:...

Benchmarking (Part 3): Java JVM Performance with DaCapo

Posted March 23rd, 2008 at 16:37 by chrisplough
Updated April 22nd, 2008 at 06:41 by chrisplough (Updating benchmark results for new hardware)
Hello!

I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how to benchmark JVM performance with the DaCapo Benchmarks. This is a great benchmark for determining the computational (algorithm crunching) power of different Java JVMs on various platforms. Also, since this is a highly computational, it does a good job of providing relative OTM Bulk Planning performance. Best of all, it fits into the MavenWire Benchmark Toolkit, because it works well. As an added bonus for the community - it's free!...
