******************************************************************* PRESENTATION Fun with "blktrace" and "seekwatcher" by M. Edward (Ed) Borasky <[email protected]> blktrace is a command that generates traces of the i/o traffic on block devices such as hard drives. seekwatcher generates graphs from blktrace runs to help visualize IO patterns and performance. It can plot multiple blktrace runs together, making it easy to compare the differences between different benchmark runs. Ed will show us how to install and use these cool tools. ******************************************************************* Agenda: 7:00 - 7:30 Business We will discuss the status of our ongoing projects including PLUG's monthly Advanced Topics meetings, PLUG's monthly hands on clinics, PLUG for Education, etc. 7:30 - 8:30 Presentation See above 9:00 - ...
