stress_driver home page
This is the home for the humble stress_driver stress test tool that
began life by crashing Convex supercomputers.
Download
You may download stress_driver from the File
List page. The package includes the single Perl files that
implements stress_driver, plus documentation in html and man format,
and the beginnings of a test sui te
for the tool. You will also need to install Perl's Event module before
running stress_driver - see CPAN.
Stress_driver has been tested on Linux and Cygwin/Windows (go to http://cygwin.com/ to install Cygwin on
top of Windows). The 1.0 release failed several of the tests on my
Windows XP box after I upgraded Cygwin, however.
Documentation
These papers and presentations provide background beyond the man page
that's in the source distribution.
Support
Discussions about stress_driver are welcome on the stress-driver-users
mailing list.
For access to the bug tracking tool, CVS archives, news, and any other
of the underlying infrastructure, go to the SourceForge
summary page for stress_driver. Note that I had to use "-" instead
of "_" in the stress_driver name in several places, so don't let this
confuse you.
