disk-read-benchmark/README.md

Read-only benchmark

This tests the latency, sequential read, and random read speeds of a variety of data.

Installation

To install this, run the following:

git clone https://git.askiiart.net/askiiart/disk-read-benchmark
cd ./disk-read-benchmark/
cargo update
cargo install --path .

Make sure to generate and add the completions for your shell:

• bash: disk-read-benchmark generate-bash-completions | source
• zsh: disk-read-benchmark generate-zsh-completions | source
• fish: disk-read-benchmark generate-fish-completions | source

(note that this only lasts until the shell is closed)

Running

The program will automatically generate all data used, except for the regular polygon data. Once the data is generated, stop the program with Ctrl+C, then run prepare.sh to archive and mount the data using DwarFS, tar, and fuse-archive.

It will output its data at ./data/benchmark-data.csv and ./data/bulk.csv in these formats:

benchmark-data.csv:

filesystem dir,file path,sequential read time,sequential read latency,random read time,random read latency

bulk.csv:

filesystem dir,folder path,test type,time1,time2,time3,[...]
