systress.conf - SYSTRESS configuration file

DESCRIPTION

Systress a.k.a. SYstem STRESS is a tool derived from the famous

cyclictest(8) tool. Like the latter, its main focus is the timer latency

evaluation on Linux systems. While cyclictest(8) needs to cooperate with

other programs to compute the latency in various system load conditions,

Systress is an all-in-one tool which runs a main thread behaving as a con‐

ductor to manage timer threads (responsible of the latency measurements),

processes (typically run to load the system) and output statistics. To

make it, Systress is passed a configuration file for flexibility, fine-

grained setup and reproducible test conditions.

CONFIGURATION

The configuration is a file which the pathname is passed through the

"--cfg" option described in systress(8). It is composed of:
