| jesu | Hi all, I want to do a performance study of the VMware, virtual box and KVM. Do you think the kernel compile time gives a good estimate? | 21:06 |
|---|---|---|
| spikeb | you'd probably want to do at least two different kinds of tests: one that tested the processor and one that tested the graphics. | 21:14 |
| jesu | spikeb : yes, basically I want to compare them in terms of io performance, network performance, cpu uage etc. | 21:16 |
| spikeb | a kernel compile would be good for testing out the cpu. not really all that aware of benchmarks to run in general, though. unless you wanted to use a benchmarking app | 21:17 |
| jesu | yes, i think i have to find a regular benchmark app for testing an OS, but i am not sure if it will be accurate for a virtual machine | 21:21 |
| spikeb | if run inside the VM, it should give you a decent idea | 21:22 |
| jesu | yes, i guess you are right, i need to find a benchamrk app | 21:23 |
| spikeb | the only one i know of offhand is the phoronix test suite. http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ | 21:24 |
| spikeb | at least on 11.04, its available from the repos | 21:25 |
| jesu | cool! I ll try that out. Thanks for that! | 21:26 |
| spikeb | no problem | 21:27 |
| spikeb | glad somebody finally asked a question i could answer today :) | 21:27 |
