Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
IOR is a parallel IO benchmark that can be used to test the performance of
|
|
parallel storage systems using various interfaces and access patterns. The
|
|
IOR repository also includes the mdtest benchmark which specifically tests
|
|
the peak metadata rates of storage systems under different directory
|
|
structures. Both benchmarks use a common parallel I/O abstraction backend
|
|
and rely on MPI for synchronization.
|
|
|
|
This documentation consists of two parts.
|
|
|
|
**User documentation** includes installation instructions (:ref:`install`), a
|
|
beginner's tutorial (:ref:`first-steps`), and information about IOR's
|
|
runtime :ref:`options`.
|
|
|
|
**Developer documentation** consists of code documentation generated with
|
|
Doxygen and some notes about the contiguous integration with Travis.
|
|
|
|
Many aspects of both IOR/mdtest user and developer documentation are incomplete,
|
|
and contributors are encouraged to comment the code directly or expand upon this
|
|
documentation.
