For a discussion of using the perf_test utility in Memory Array performance
tuning, see Performance Testing Using perf_test on page 174.

The
perf_test utility has the following options:
Table 9.2 perf_test Utility Options
Option Description
-h | -?
Displays help.
-b block-size
Sets the size of each block, in bytes, such as 128,
512, 1024, and so on.
Recognized unit/size qualifiers include:
k and K for
the appropriate binary multipliers.
-B
[low,high[,step]]
Specifies range of blocks.
-r read-weight
Specifies the read weight, relative to the write
weight. Specify
0 to not do any reads at all.
-w write-weight
Specifies the write weight, relative to the read
weight. Specify
0 to not do any writes at all.
-s memory-size
Specifies the system memory size, in GB (if no units
are provided). Recognized unit/size qualifiers
include:
k, K, m, M, g and G for the appropriate binary
multipliers.
-d duration
Specifies the duration of the test, in seconds, before
terminating. Not specifying the duration, or
specifying
0, allows perf_test to run indefinitely.
-p device-path
Specifies the path to device, such as /dev/sda, and
/dev/vtmsa.
-t num-threads
Specifies the number of threads to invoke. Each
thread is governed by the options specified for
reads, writes, verification, block size, and so on, and
operates independently in terms of randomness of
addresses touched.
