How to measure performance of my hardware
(page in progress)
Overview...
Basic tuning
Some sample results running on the old lump in the corner, running on current hardware you should easily beat these.

The following tool is including, or can be located in 'cpp/src/tests/' Run with --help to check the options on the latest version.
$ ./perftest --help
N4qpid7Options9ExceptionE: Test Options:
-h [ --host ] HOST (localhost) Broker host to connect to
-b [ --broker ] HOST (localhost) Broker host to connect to
-p [ --port ] PORT (5672) Broker port to connect to
-v [ --virtualhost ] VHOST virtual host
-n [ --clientname ] ID (cpp) unique client identifier
--username USER (guest) user name for broker log in.
--password USER (guest) password for broker log in.
--help print this usage statement
--setup Create shared queues.
--control Run test, print report.
--publish Publish messages.
--subscribe Subscribe for messages.
--mode shared|fanout|topic (shared) Test mode.
shared: --qt queues, --npubs publishers
and --nsubs subscribers per queue.
fanout: --npubs publishers, --nsubs subs
cribers, fanout exchange.
topic: --qt topics, --npubs publishers a
nd --nsubs subscribers per topic.
--npubs N (1) Create N publishers.
--count N (500000) Each publisher sends N messages.
--size BYTES (1024) Size of messages in bytes.
--pub-confirm yes|no (1) Publisher use confirm-mode.
--durable yes|no (0) Publish messages as durable.
--unique-data yes|no (0) Make data for each message unique.
--nsubs N (1) Create N subscribers.
--sub-ack N (0) N>0: Subscriber acks batches of N.
N==0: Subscriber uses unconfirmed mode
--qt N (1) Create N queues or topics.
--iterations N (1) Desired number of iterations of the test
.
-s [ --summary ] Summary output: pubs/sec subs/sec transf
ers/sec Mbytes/sec
--queue_max_count N (0) queue policy: count to trigger 'flow to
disk'
--queue_max_size N (0) queue policy: accumulated size to trigge
r 'flow to disk'
--interval_sub ms (0) >=0 delay between msg consume
--interval_pub ms (0) >=0 delay between msg publish
Logging options:
--log-output FILE (stderr) Send log output to FILE. FILE can be a file name
or one of the special values:
stderr, stdout, syslog
-t [ --trace ] Enables all logging
--log-enable RULE (error+) Enables logging for selected levels and component
s. RULE is in the form 'LEVEL[+][:PATTERN]'
Levels are one of:
trace debug info notice warning error critical
For example:
'--log-enable warning+' logs all warning, error
and critical messages.
'--log-enable debug:framing' logs debug messages
from the framing namespace. This option can be
used multiple times
--log-time yes|no (1) Include time in log messages
--log-level yes|no (1) Include severity level in log messages
--log-source yes|no (0) Include source file:line in log messages
--log-thread yes|no (0) Include thread ID in log messages
--log-function yes|no (0) Include function signature in log messages
There are two ways to use perftest: single process or multi-process.
If none of the --setup, --publish, --subscribe or --control options
are given perftest will run a single-process test.
For a multi-process test first run:
perftest --setup <other options>
and wait for it to complete. The remaining process should run concurrently::
Run --npubs times: perftest --publish <other options>
Run --nsubs times: perftest --subscribe <other options>
Run once: perftest --control <other options>
Note the <other options> must be identical for all processes.
