IOshark is a repeatable application workload storage benchmark. You can find more documentation on IOshark at : https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1Bhq7iNPVc_JzwRrkmZqcPjMvWgpHX0r3Ncq-ZsRNOBA/edit?usp=sharing The short summary of what IOshark is : IOshark has 2 components, one is a strace+ftrace compiler that takes straces and select ftraces fed into it and compiles this into bytecodes (stored in *.wl files). The compiler runs on a Linux host. The second component (which runs on the device) is the tester that takes as input the bytecode files (*.wl files) and executes them on the device. How to Run : ---------- - First collect straces and compile these into bytecodes. The wrapper script provided (collect-straces.sh) collects straces, ships them to the host where the script runs, compiles and packages up the bytecode files into a wl.tar file. - Ship the wl.tar file and the iostark_bench binaries to the target device (on /data/local/tmp say). Explode the tarfile. - Run the tester. "ioshark_bench *.wl" runs the test with default options. Supported ioshark_bench options : -b : Explicitly specify a blockdev (to get IO stats from from /proc/diskstats). -d : Preserve the delays between successive filesystem syscalls as seen in the original straces. -n <N> : Run for N iterations -t <N> : Limit to N threads. By default (without this option), IOshark will launch as many threads as there are input files, so 1 thread/file. -v : verbose. Chatty mode. -s : One line summary. -q : Don't create the files in read-only partitions like /system and /vendor. Instead do reads on those files. FILE FORMAT : ----------- Each IOshark workload file is composed of the following Header File State : Table of File Entries. Each entry describes a file File Op : Table of File Operations. One entry describes one operation Each of the above is described below : Note : Everything is in Big Endian byte order.
