There are a number of benchmarks that do single runs and as a result does not really help users gain a general idea of how the workload performs. So the user must either manually do multiple runs or just use single bogus results. This option will enable users to specify the amount of runs (arbitrarily defaulted to 10, to use the existing benchmarks default) through the '--repeat' option. Add it to perf-bench instead of implementing it always in each specific benchmark.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This 'perf bench' command is a general framework for benchmark suites.
|
|
|
|
COMMON OPTIONS
|
|
--------------
|
|
-r::
|
|
--repeat=::
|
|
Specify amount of times to repeat the run (default 10).
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
--format=::
|
|
Specify format style.
|
|
Current available format styles are:
|
|
|
|
'default'::
|
|
Default style. This is mainly for human reading.
|
|
---------------------
|
|
% perf bench sched pipe # with no style specified
|
|
(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
|
|
Total time:5.855 sec

|
170792 ops/sec
|
|
---------------------
|
|
