Benchmark Testing
March 24, 2005 Posted by KP
You can use UnixBench to test your server’s benchmark, and compare with other’s results.
Run the following commands to make the test:
# wget http://members.dslextreme.com/users/andylee/unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz
# gunzip -dvc unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# cd unixbench-4.1.0-wht
# make
# ./Run
I just ordered a new server from LayeredTech, the configuration is:
• Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz
• 2 x 80GB IDE Hard Drive
• 1024MB RAM
• Bandwidth: 1000GB
• IP Addresses: 8 (5 usable)
• Private VLAN
• Number Of Servers: 1
• Basic Resource Monitoring
• FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows*
• 100% Self Managed and Dedicated
Here is the benchmark results:
Start Benchmark Run: Thu Mar 24 16:36:50 UTC 2005
4:36PM up 13:40, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
End Benchmark Run: Thu Mar 24 16:48:16 UTC 2005
4:48PM up 13:52, 2 users, load averages: 14.43, 5.50, 2.55
INDEX VALUES

| Execl Throughput.2 | 188.3 | 1015 | 53.9 |
| File Copy 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks | 2672.0 | 6528.0 | 24.4 |
| File Copy 256 bufsize 500 maxblocks | 1077.0 | 9023.0 | 83.8 |
| File Read 4096 bufsize 8000 maxblocks | 15382.0 | 327449.0 | 212.9 |
| Pipe Throughput | 111814.6 | 609332.3 | 54.5 |

| System Call Overhead | 114433.5 | 377500.3 | 33.0 |
| FINAL SCORE | 67.8 |
My first server got about 60, similar servers on the above thread got more than 100, I’m very disappointed at the result.
