by Sven Vermeulen, post on Fri 19 April 2013

In the previous post, I gave some feedback on the cpu and fileio workload tests that sysbench can handle. Next on the agenda are the memory, threads and mutex workloads.

When using the memory workload, sysbench will allocate a buffer (provided through the --memory-block-size parameter, defaults to 1kbyte) and each …
