You can merge results from multiple test runs - actually, JMeter will do it for you in the listeners.
Bandwidth/IO is absolutely an issue when the client is receiving full requests from multiple remote servers. Probably I should just say "IO". Bandwidth makes people think only of the pipe, not the client machines ability to read and process all those bytes. You had mentioned 500 threads only used 35% of cpu and 25% of memory, so I'm not sure why 1000 is suddenly killing your machine. java 1.4 and 1.5 can deal with 1000 threads, given the hardware resources. Have you bumped up the jvm heap size sufficiently? You can run multiple instances on the same machine, but I don't expect things to work better that way. More likely, it's just a way to use more memory. -Mike On Wed, 2005-06-15 at 17:06 +0300, Yuval wrote: > Hi Mike, > But I want to run load test which will include few jmeter-servers, and if > possible, to enjoy the benefit of seeing all the results from one place. > I'm not sure it's a bandwidth issue.
