<redLED_> so uh, if there are any takers, i can offer a playground to test on <Bart> but first you need a way to benchmark it, i'd like something better than ab <Dries_> redLED_, how long would that playground be available? <redLED_> lets say uh <redLED_> 7 - 13 of February? <redLED_> Dries_, 2.4Ghz Intel Pentium IV, 1GB RAM, 40GB IDE HD, 100Mbps Ethernet x 2 <redLED_> Dries_, I can run load generator from Dual Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz w/4GB RAM and 1GigE Interface to simulate more than aquedate load. <Dries_> redLED_, so how would that work? We get shell access to the machine, and poke you to start/stop the load generator? <redLED_> Dries_, you get shell access to the web machines (they're heading for a reinstall afterwards) <redLED_> and for load generator, you'll need to provide me a tarball i can extract and run, a shell is possible but i'll need to know the person interested in running it <redLED_> that machine is in production for other puproses which are a lot more evil <Dries_> redLED_, a tarball with? <redLED_> the desired benchmarking utility and preconfigured scenarios <redLED_> lets do this otherwise <redLED_> 2 x root on linux boxes + 1 x shell on faster box suitable for load generation <redLED_> i forget about it for a week <redLED_> and come reclaim it later I suggest comparing Drupal 4.6.0 and Drupal 4.5.2. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
