12
13    lmbench is a series of micro benchmarks intended to measure basic operating
14    system and hardware system metrics.
15
16    For further details about lmbench refer to:
17    http://lmbench.sourceforge.net/man/lmbench.8.html
18
19    This test is copied from from client/tests to avoid depending on make and
20    perl. Here we can also tune the individual benchmarks to be more
21    deterministic using taskset, nice, etc.
22
23    Example benchmark runs and outputs on a Lumpy device:
24    ./lat_pagefault -N 100 -W 10000 /usr/local/zeros 2>&1
25    Pagefaults on /usr/local/zeros: 1.5215 microseconds
26
27    ./lat_syscall -N 100 -W 10000 null 2>&1
28    Simple syscall: 0.1052 microseconds
29
30    ./lat_syscall -N 100 -W 10000 read /usr/local/zeros 2>&1
31    Simple read: 0.2422 microseconds
32
33    ./lat_syscall -N 100 -W 10000 write /usr/local/zeros 2>&1
34    Simple write: 0.2036 microseconds
35
36    ./lat_proc -N 100 -W 10000 fork 2>&1
37    Process fork+exit: 250.9048 microseconds
38
39    ./lat_proc -N 100 -W 10000 exec 2>&1
40    Process fork+execve: 270.8000 microseconds
