Incubator/ServMark

From Globus

ServMark is an Incubator project that allows testing not only for different parts of the Globus toolkit, but also for any other new services developed by end-users, and for benchmarking the environments where the Globus toolkit is deployed. The applications of ServMark include: rapid application and environment benchmarking, functionality testing and system tuning, and building runtime performance databases for Grid schedulers.

ServMark represents the blending of two performance evaluation tools, DiPerF and GrenchMark. The two initial tools tackled orthogonal issues in performance evaluation, namely: the ability to test services in a distributed and scalable way, and the capacity to generate and run dynamic test workloads with complex structures.

The ServMark project is jointly developed by people from University of Chicago, Delft University of Technology, University of British Columbia and Politehnica University of Bucharest.

This GlobDev project webpage contains information for project committers and contributors. Additional information for users of ServMark can be found at http://diperf.cs.uchicago.edu (DiPerF) and http://grenchmark.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/index.html (GrenchMark).
