Jörg, It depends on the hardware configuration of the injector machines. 100 threads is perfectly sensible if your injector machine is a quad-core machine with at least 2-3 gigs of ram. But if you have a low configuration machine then even 100 threads might be too taxing for it.
The key to find out what is sensible load on the injector and what is not is by monitoring the injector machine first -- to see if something is crossing the 80% utilization watermark in the resource front. If yes then reduce the threads and introduce more slaves, if no then increase the threads. -Chaitanya M Bhatt 2010/7/21 Jörg Godau <[email protected]> > Hello All, > > we are trying to configure our testing environment in an optimal fashion. > > We would like to have 100 or more parallel threads hitting our application > server. > > At the moment we are using 10 jmeter-slaves each running 10 threads (each > slave runs in a virtual machine). > > Is this a sensible setup? > > Would we be better off running 1 jmeter-slave with 100 threads? > > Or 5 slaves with 20 threads? > > Or something else? > > How does everyone else setup tests that use many threads/processes? > > > Mit freundlichen Grüßen > Jörg Godau > > SCHÜTZE Consulting Informationssysteme GmbH Argentinische Allee 22b > 14163 Berlin > Tel.: 030/ 802 49 44 > Fax: 030/ 8090 39 95 > www.schuetze-berlin.de > > Geschäftsführer: Klaus-Dieter Schütze > Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg > Registernummer: HRB 73618 > Umsatzsteuer-Identifikationsnummer gemäß § 27a Umsatzsteuergesetz: DE > 813181239 > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
