Points to Remember
Keep the following points in mind while performing the benchmarking and tuning excercise.
- Always document the test design in sufficient detail to allow others to accurately reproduce your results.
- Always range demand until the operating capacity of the system under test has been reached. Further increases in input rate do not result in proportional increases in output rate.
- Always document measured or estimated resource availability and consumption.
- Once an apparent operational limit has been reached, investigate to determine whether a true resource constraint has been reached. Consider adding resources such as adding memory, CPU or changing to a higher network bandwidth.
- If an operational limit has been reached without exhausting available resources:
