Method for carrying out performance test on memory management subsystem of Linux operation system

Abstract

The invention provides a method for carrying out performance test for a memory management subsystem of a Linux operation system, which comprises the following steps: 1) setting microcosmic reference testing items; 2) for the microcosmic reference testing items, designing corresponding test scenes, performance test indexes and test results; 3) compiling a performance test module used for dynamically obtaining and calculating a performance test index defined for each item in the microcosmic reference testing items; 4) compiling a test script module used for providing a certain workload for a Linux operation system memory and uploading a core module to realize the test scenes defined in the reference testing items; and 5) operating the test script module and a performance test module to obtain test results. With the method, the problems of the current reference test tool for a Linux memory management subsystem, such as single test scene, poor pertinence in test indexes and small information amount in test results, are effectively solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to aspects such as Linux operating system development and kernel performance testing. Background technique [0002] Performance testing is an essential and important link in the software development process. It can help software manufacturers identify potential performance degradation problems and possible product performance defects during the software development process. The Linux operating system is a huge and complex software system, and continuous performance testing of it is a key step that Linux operating system manufacturers must carry out before product release. At present, the industry's performance testing of the Linux operating system is carried out for the five major subsystems of the Linux kernel (process scheduling subsystem, memory management subsystem, virtual file subsystem, process communication subsystem, and network interface subsystem). The memo...
