Tests against each Experiment

Within each experiment there are 5 tests which are ran...

Test 1 - Geekbench - performs a number of general performance measurements against a system.

Test 2a - Ramspeed test - Performs 4 operations : Copy(A=B), Scale(A=B*m), Add(A=B+C) and Triad(A=B+C*m). using INT

Test 2b - Ramspeed test - Performs 4 operations : Copy(A=B), Scale(A=B*m), Add(A=B+C) and Triad(A=B+C*m). using FP

Test 3 - systester - 5 runs are made against calculating a 512K Pi value - these runs are totaled & timed - CPU based test

Test 4a - Disk Subsystem - Performs 10 random 32mb reads against the disk - noting performance information

Test 4b -Disk Subsystem - Performs 10 random 32mb writes against the disk

Test 5a - Network connectivity to the network gateway - physical device on the network

Test 5b - Network connectivity to the Host - via virtual networking

Test 5c - Network connectivity to another VM within the same host

Test6a- Forkbomb executed on 1 VM within host

Test6b- Forkbomb executed on 2 VM's within host

Test6c- Forkbomb executed on 3VM's within host

All tests are carried out from a Linux VM within the host.. Also 2 control experiments... 1 from within a VM with no hostile events taking place...

I've finally revised all my test scripts..

with 2 seperate tests for CPU/Memory/DiskIO/NetworkIO

I've completed testing on Virtualbox & Workstation

fully configured XEN and ESXi & Hyper-V
