Heedong Ha, Sang-Young Cho · Advanced science and technology letters · 2014
A storage performance analysis tool is very crucial to find performance bottlenecks of I/O storage systems and to develop efficient storage system architectures or algorithms. This paper presents an integrated performance analysis tool for the Linux filesystem. The tool provides the actual time information of functions of the Linux filesystem. Contrast to other existing tools, the tool provides with filtering capability, graphical interface, and system-level analysis information without any heavy load of measurement. Linux developers or end-users can utilize it for analyzing filesystem layers and measuring software performance to find out the bottleneck within the Linux filesystem.
