# chirp\_benchmark(1)

do micro-performance tests on a Chirp server

## NAME

**chirp\_benchmark** - do micro-performance tests on a Chirp server

## SYNOPSIS

FCchirp\_benchmark *\<host\[:port\]\>* *\<file\>* *\<loops\>* *\<cycles\>* *\<bwloops\>*FT

## DESCRIPTION

FCchirp\_benchmarkFT tests a Chirp server's bandwidth and latency for various Remote Procedure Calls. The command uses a combination of RPCs that do and do not use I/O bandwidth on the backend filesystem to measure the latency. It also tests the throughput for reading and writing to the given filename with various block sizes.

For complete details with examples, see the Chirp User's Manual (**http://ccl.cse.nd.edu/software/manuals/chirp.html**).

## EXIT STATUS

On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

## EXAMPLES

To test a Chirp server, you may use:

```

```
