sysbench - 1.0.20+ds-1 main

SysBench is a modular, scriptable and multi-threaded benchmark tool based on
LuaJIT. It is most frequently used for database benchmarks, but can also be
used to create arbitrarily complex workloads that do not involve a database
server.
.
The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about system
performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or even without
installing a database at all.
.
Current features allow one to test the following system parameters:
.
* file I/O performance
* scheduler performance
* memory allocation and transfer speed
* POSIX threads implementation performance
* database server performance (OLTP benchmark)
.
Primarily written for MySQL server benchmarking, SysBench will be further
extended to support multiple database backends, distributed benchmarks and
third-party plug-in modules.
