LAT_PAGEFAULT(8) LMBENCH LAT_PAGEFAULT(8) NAME lat_pagefault - measure the cost of pagefaulting pages from a file SYNOPSIS lat_pagefault [ -P <parallelism> ] [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ] file [ file.... ] DESCRIPTION lat_pagefault times how fast a page of a file can be faulted in. The file is flushed from (local) memory by using the msync() interface with the in- validate flag set. (Note that NFS does not send this over the wire so this makes for a handy way to measure the cost of going across the wire.) The benchmark maps in the entire file and the access pages backwards using a stride of 256K kilobytes. OUTPUT Output format is below; it prints the average cost of page faulting a page. Pagefaults on <file>: <d> usecs BUGS Using a stride of 256K may be a bad idea because SCSI controllers may have caches bigger than that. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Funding for the development of this tool was provided by Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation. SEE ALSO lmbench(8).
