Sorry, but that is just not the case. The slave systems also need to be sufficiently powerful to run JMeter without running out of resources. The master system and its network throughput can be a limiting factor. > You > should be able to run any number of nodes until unless there is some > software configuration mentioned in Jmeter which limits the number of slaves > to be run. There is no fixed limitation on the number of slaves that can be defined to JMeter. However, if there are hundreds, there might be problems with the line length in the properties file or certainly there will be command-line length restrictions. Java has a maximum string length. However none of these are likely to be the limiting factor. > Deepak > -- > Keigu > > Deepak > +91-9765089593 > [email protected] > http://www.simtree.net > > Skype: thumsupdeicool > Google talk: deicool > Blog: http://loveandfearless.wordpress.com > Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/deicool > > "Contribute to the world, environment and more : http://www.gridrepublic.org > " > > > > On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 3:36 PM, sebb <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 28 September 2010 11:01, Felix Frank <[email protected]> wrote: >> > On 09/28/2010 11:57 AM, iyerbalaji wrote: >> >> >> >> To be specific, the configurations are: >> >> >> >> Load generators(agent machines) : 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP/2K3 >> machines >> >> and >> >> 1 GB is a bit on the low side for WinXP. >> >> >> Master machine : 2.8 Ghz,8GB RAM,Windows XP/2K3 with a dedicated LAN >> setup. >> >> 8GB is excessive for WinXP (not sure it can use it all effectively). >> >> >> >> >> Can JMeter successfully scale up to 15 nodes (jmeter-servers/load >> >> generators) with the configurations mentioned above? >> >> >> >> (Again,let me know if this data is not sufficient to determine the >> number of >> >> load generators that can >> >> be used per Master.) >> > >> > I don't think anyone here can give you a definite response to that.
