Hi Team,

I'm looking for the steps to compile the LMBENCH locally for windows Arm64.

Can you please help in getting the steps?

Confusion about the argument when executing single benchmark test

This repo is unmaintained and outdated, try https://github.com/intel/lmbench . Plus these two patches ( Fix-rpc.h-not-found.patch and lmbench3.patch ) from: https://github.com/intel/lkp-tests/tree/master/programs/lmbench3/pkg

Confusion about the argument when executing single benchmark test

Testing with the whole suite takes a long time, and it's unnecessary if there's only one benchmark's result of interest. In my case it's Prot Fault which belongs to File&VM system latencies group.
After successfully building the whole lmbench suite, I tried to run the single benchmark case by going to the /bin/$ARCH-pc-linux-gnu directory under the lmbench directory and runing command ./lat_sig prot . However, it prompts the following info, seems like my usage was somewhat wrong.

root@jys-optiplex7060:/opt/lmbench-3.0-a9-1/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu# ./lat_sig prot
Usage: ./lat_sig [-P <parallelism>] [-W <warmup>] [-N <repetitions>] install|catch|prot [file]

And then I ran as following but it still look wrong.

root@jys-optiplex7060:/opt/lmbench-3.0-a9-1/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu# ./lat_sig prot /usr/tmp
mmap: Bad file descriptor

I tried my best but failed to figure out the correct way to define the argument [file]. Can anybody help? many thanks!

lmbench host-to-device latency and BW

I have a server with several GPU boards on pcie slots
Can lm bench be configured to run BW and latency tests between host and GPU?
