MUSBUS Version 5.0 (Monash University Software for Benchmarking Unix Systems)
MUSBUS is a benchmarking tool that provides a test environment in which
a system or application specific worload profile is used to drive simulated
multi-user performance measurements; i.e. system throughput as seen by
a terminal user as a function of concurrent load. Some raw speed tests are
also included for diagnostic and hypothesis formulation purposes.
MUSBUS has been used successfully in Australia, Europe and the USA
by equipment purchasers for comparative performance evaluation, in
contractual acceptance tests, system shake-down to introduce stress
and by vendors for in-house performance instrumentation.
A paper at the June 1987 Phoenix USENIX Meeting describes the philosophy
underlying the MUSBUS design.
Complete documentation is in Intro.nr (no macros needed), whilst
musbus.1 and README provide abbreviated notes, hints and descriptions.

X.LP
XThis document provides an overview for \fBVersion\fP \fB5.0\fP of MUSBUS
Xand is intended for knowledgeable programmers trying to run
Xthe software on their own hardware.
X.NH 2 Preliminaries
X.NH 2.1 "Software Environment"
X.LP
XYou will require a system that supports Level 7, System V
Xor BSD
Xcompatibility, along with the following programs.

X.NH 2.2 "Getting Started"
X.LP
XAll the files are distributed in a single directory.
XOnce these have been retrieved from the distribution some initial housekeeping
Xand system specifics have to be sorted out.
X.LP
XWhen fully installed, MUSBUS contains files in several subdirectories
Xas follows,
X.IP \(bu
X.FL Results ,
Xlog files created by the command procedure
X.PR run .
X.IP \(bu
X.FL Tmp ,
Xtemporary files created by
X.PR run
Xand friends.
X.IP \(bu
X.FL Tools ,
Xpost processors to produce
X.PR tbl
Xinput from the log files.
X.IP \(bu
X.FL Workload ,
Xdescriptions of the workload profile, all associated data files and some
Xwork script manipulation tools.
X.LP
XTo explicitly
Xcreate these directories and distribute the required files into the
Xappropriate places you may
X.SC "make install"
Xhowever this will be done automatically by
X.PR run
Xas required.
X.LP
XThe file
X.FL time.awk
Xis used by the command procedure
X.PR run
Xto average the
Xresults from several attempts to time a particular test and so
Xdepends upon the format of output from
X.PR /bin/time .
XThe results from multiple timing attempts are held temporarily
Xin the file
X.FL Tmp/tmp.$$
X(where $$ is the pid of the
X.PR run
Xshell).
XTry
X.SC "/bin/time date"
Xand check the output from
X.PR /bin/time .
XIf it has a format like
X.ti +4n
X0.4 real 0.0 user 0.1 sys
X.br
Xthen
X.SC "rm -f time.awk"
X.SC "ln BSDtime.awk time.awk"
X.LP
XIf the
X.PR /bin/time
Xoutput looks like
X.RS
X.ta 8n
X.nf
Xreal 0:00.4
Xuser 0:00.0
Xsys 0:00.1
X.fi
X.RE
Xthen
X.SC "rm -f time.awk"
X.SC "ln SysVtime.awk time.awk"
X.LP
XOtherwise create your own version of
X.FL time.awk
Xusing
X.FL *time.awk
Xas examples.
X.LP
XSome of the tests require system calls from the C code to measure
Xsmall elapsed times.
XThis is a real problem since there appears to be no
Xuniversally correct way of doing this in the Unix
Xworld.
XThe particular source files are
X.FL clock.c ,
X.FL fstime.c
Xand
X.FL mem.c .
XIn the
X.FL Makefile ,
Xensure that you have \fBone\fP of the following
Xdefinitions included in the CFLAGS (in addition to the \(miO).
X.RS
X.ta 12n
X.nf
X.if t \fH\s-1\(miDSysV\s+1\fR you are using a System V brand of Unix
X.if n \(miDSysV you are using a System V brand of Unix
X.if t \fH\s-1\(miDBSD4v2\s+1\fR you are using a Berkeley 4.2 or 4.3 system
X.if n \(miDBSD4v2 you are using a Berkeley 4.2 or 4.3 system
X.if t \fH\s-1\(miDBSD4v1\s+1\fR you are using a Berkeley 4.1 system
X.if n \(miDBSD4v1 you are using a Berkeley 4.1 system
X.fi
X.RE
XFor example,
X.ti +6n
X.if t \fH\s-1CFLAGS = \(miO \(miDBSD4v2\s+1\fR
X.if n CFLAGS = -O -DBSD4v2
X.LP
XIf \fBnone\fP of these systems
Xis appropriate, the source files \fIwill not compile\fP
Xand you will have to decide on appropriate alternative calls
Xand coding to suit local conditions.
X.LP
XIf you don't have the public-domain random number generator \fIrandom\fP()
Xremove the #defines for \fBrand\fP and \fBsrand\fP in
X.FL mkperm.c.
X.LP
XCheck the
X.FL HISTORY
Xfile (if it exists) for notification of any changes, additions
Xor problems that may have been made or fixed subsequent to the version
Xof MUSBUS described in this document.
X.LP
XTry
X.SC "make programs"
Xto confirm that every necessary program can be compiled and
Xloaded correctly.
X.LP
XNow attempt to run all the tests once (this takes roughly 20 minutes).
XUsing the Bourne shell (\c
X.PR /bin/sh ),
X.SC "iterations=1"
X.SC "nusers=1"
X.SC "export iterations nusers"
X.SC "./run"
X.LP
XThis should demonstrate
Xthat all the
X.PR sh,
X.PR awk,
X.PR sed
Xand
X.PR ed
Xscripts
Xcan be made to work.
XVerification of the health of things to this point depends upon
Xchecking the output from
X.PR run
Xto ensure that no nasty errors
Xare reported, and in particular scrolling through the file
X.FL Results/log .
XEvery time
X.PR run
Xis used information is \f3appended\fP to
X.FL Results/log
Xand
X.FL Results/log.work ,
Xso make sure that these files are removed or renamed before you start
Xto do anything serious.
XThe contents of
X.FL Results/log
Xshould look something like

Xrelate to specific tests
Xand are either self explanatory (e.g. missing or illegal program
Xoptions) or described in the Sections below.
X.LP
XThe file
X.FL Results/log.work
Xcontains detailed logging of the multi-user test, and may contain
Xuseful information in the event that this test fails or terminates
Xprematurely.
XBesides logging process ids and file descriptor assignments for each
Xsimulated user's job stream, standard error output is trapped and
Xreported in
X.FL Results/log.work .
X.NH 3 "The Tests"
X.LP
XIf you are serious about the results produced, these tests should
Xbe run on a dedicated system without concurrent activity.
XWhen possible, an idle system in mult-iuser mode is
Xpreferable to a single user system.
X.LP
XAll the tests are controlled by shell variables used within the command
Xprocedure
X.PR run .
XBy setting environment variables of the same name, the default values
Xof the shell variables
Xmay be over-ridden, however if the defaults are consistently wrong for
Xparticular variables it is safer (i.e. less error prone) to modify
Xthe defaults in
X.PR run .
X.LP
X.PR Run
Xdoes its work for the most part silently, logging information to
Xcertain files, and providing a terse summary of the particular test(s)
Xbeing run on the tty from which
X.PR run
Xwas invoked.
X.LP
XA designated test may by run using the command
X.SC "./run thing"
Xwhere \fIthing\fP is one of the test names described in the following
XSections.
XThe commands
X.SC "./run"
Xor
X.SC "./run all"
Xwill run everything.
X.LP
X.PR Run
Xmay be interrupted from the keyboard (SIGINT)
Xif it is started in foreground
Xand after some fooling about it manages to shut things down and clean up files.
X.PR run
Xcreates a
X.PR sh
Xcommand procedure
X.FL Tmp/kill_run
Xthat may be used to shut down a background
X.PR run
Xvia
X.SC "Tmp/kill_run"
X.VA iterations 6
XUnless otherwise stated,
Xthis variable controls the number of times each test is repeated for timing.
XAt the beginning of each iteration, the program
X.FL iamalive
Xwrites the iteration
Xnumber (without newline or carriage return)
Xon standard output.
X.NH 3.1 "Raw Speed Measures"
X.NH 3.1.1 "Specific Arithmetic"
X.LP
XThis family of tests computes the sum of a series of terms
Xsuch that the arithmetic is unbiased towards operator type
X(i.e. equal numbers of additions, subtractions, multiplications
Xand divisions).
XEach major loop in the computation involves summing 100 terms
Xof the series.
X.VA arithloop 1000
XNumber of major loops in the computation.
X.TN arithoh
XDo not compute the series, so measures the overhead in the
Xcomputation.
X.TN register
XArithmetic uses registers.
X.TN short
XArithmetic uses shorts.
X.TN int
XArithmetic uses ints.
X.TN long
XArithmetic uses longs.
X.TN float
XArithmetic uses floats.
X.TN double
XArithmetic uses doubles.
X.LP
XAfter all the arithmetic tests have been performed, the
X.PR sh
Xscript
X.FL Tools/Adjust
Xshould be used with
X.FL Results/log ,
Xi.e.
X.SC "./Tools/Adjust Results/log"
Xto compute the \fBactual\fP
XCPU and elapsed times when the overhead measured by the test
X.PR arithoh
Xis subtracted.
XIt is these times (i.e. \fIminus the startup and loop overhead\fP)
Xthat have been published and circulated amongst MUSBUS users.

XThe MUSBUS tests have been widely distributed, and in some cases

Xand the subsequent application of the results.
X.IP (1)
XThere are several versions of the test suite, Version 3.3 (and later
Xversions) in particular
Xare very different to earlier versions and results obtained
Xwith different versions of the suite cannot be meaningfully
Xcompared.
XI make no claim for the long-term
Xstability of MUSBUS, and so this evolutionary
Xprocess is likely to continue with future releases of the test suite.
X.IP (2)
XThere is \fBno\fP reason to suspect that the distributed workload
Xfor the multi-user test (i.e. the files
X.FL Tmp/script.?
Xand
X.FL Tmp/workload )
Xare representative of the user work profile at \fByour\fP installation(s).
XBe prepared to alter or rebuild the workload to reflect your
Xexpected system usage.
X.IP (3)
XResults have been known to vary
Xdramatically between releases of the UNIX you
Xare testing.
XThis reflects vendor tuning (sometimes breaking) of the UNIX port
Xand MUSBUS is a useful diagnostic tool in this area, provided the
XMUSBUS version and workload profile remain fixed.
X.IP (4)
XPoints (1) to (3) suggest that uncontrolled and uninformed
Xcomparisons of
XMUSBUS results is dangerous in the extreme.
XThis is the main reason that I have not published the large
Xcollection of results accumulated to date.
X.IP (5)
XRemember that the tests described in Section 3.1 are intended
Xfor \fBdiagnostic\fP use.
XIf you are interested in \fBperformance\fP, you should focus
Xupon the multi-user test described in Section 3.2.
X.IP (6)
XBeware of simulating \fBtoo few\fP users in the multi-user
Xtest.
XUseful information about system throughput and performance
Xunder heavy load conditions can usually be obtained by
Xextrapolation of various measures computed from the
XCPU and elapsed times for the multi-user tests with
Xvarious numbers of users.
XHowever this assumes the machine has been sufficiently loaded to
Xmove out of the \fIlinear\fP part of the performance curves.
XFor very fast machines, this may require emulation of
Xa \fIlarge\fP number of users in the multi-user test.
X.IP (7)
XBeware of simulating \fBtoo many\fP users in the multi-user
Xtest.
XUsing the default value for
X.SV ttys ,
X\fBall\fP simulated
Xtty output is directed to a \fIsingle\fP serial port.
XAs you increase the number of simulated users in the multi-user
Xtest (in response to Point (6) above) the serial port
Xbandwidth may become the limiting resource!
XThis is easy to fix by adding a list of more tty devices to the
Xvalue of
X.SV ttys .
X.IP (8)
XBe warned that the multi-user test has ``broken'' several UNIX
Xports.
XCauses have been identified as implementation (configuration)
Xlimits in the system being tested (e.g. proc slots), real
Xbugs in the port or MUSBUS errors.
XThis list is basically in order of decreasing probability.
X.LP
XCommunication on MUSBUS experiences is welcomed at the
Xelectronic addresses on the first page of this document.
XIf you have found a problem, or can suggest a better testing
Xtechnique please let me know, so that future versions might
Xoffer real (as opposed to cosmetic) enhancements.

XMUSBUS Version 5.0 -- Installation Notes
X
X1) make install
X - creates relevant subdirectories and moves files about
X - if the distribution has already been unpacked, this
X will do nothing, so it cannot hurt!
X
X2) Format and read the installation notes and user guide, as in
X
X [tn]roff Intro.nr | ...
X
X3) Follow the instructions therein.
X
X4) Note that the distributed workload profile (Workload/* when unpacked)
X may not be representative of your system's current or anticipated
X user profile, in which case the scripts and data files should be
X changed -- see Intro.nr for details and implications.
