Benchmarking Linux filesystems on software RAID 1
2008-04-20 04:51:00 A couple of months ago I got a couple of wonderful birthday presents. My lovely geeky girlfriend got me two Western Digital 500 GB SATA 3.0 drives, which were promptly supplemented with a 3ware 9550XS 4-port hardware RAID card. Immediately I came up with the idea for this article. I had just read up on mdadm software RAID so I though it would be perfect to bench mark the hardware RAID against the software RAID using all kinds of file systems, block sizes, chunk sizes, LVM settings, etcetera. Or so I though… As it turns out, my (then) limited understanding of RAID and some trouble with my 3ware RAID cards meant that I had to scale back my benchmark quite a bit. And to top it off I discovered some nasty problems with 3ware 9550 RAID cards under Linux that quickly made me give up on hardware RAID. I still ended up testing various filesystems using different blocksizes and workloads on an mdadm RAID 1 setup, so the results should still prove interesting.

Google Analytics Benchmarking Feature
2008-03-26 10:12:00 Google Analytics is one of the most popular tools that people use to analyze the traffic to their websites. It already had many features, but some more demanding users were complaining that some features were lacking. The response from Google is incorporating a few useful tools like the benchmarking feature, data sharing and audio ad charting. With those tools you can compare your sites performance to industry benchmarks and you will be able to see when your Google Audio ads run, in relation to your web site traffic. The benchmarking feature is especially useful since you will be able to plot your data and give you the ability to overlay various industry averages on top of your statistics. For those concerned with privacy, I would like to add that the data is anonymized and aggregated, so you do not have to worry about your competitors checking out your site details.

Benchmarking the performance of mutual funds
2008-03-13 23:24:00 When you invest in mutual funds, you are reminded time and again that "mutual fund returns are subject to market risks". Naturally, you may feel that if your scheme is subject to market risks, it should be delivering market linked returns, since risk and return are two sides of the same coin. But how can you gauge whether a scheme is in fact delivering returns that are in line with the market or not? Here's where benchmarking comes in. What is benchmarking? The performance of a mutual fund scheme can be gauged in comparison to a benchmark index or indices. For such purposes, a benchmark index is one which contains broadly similar instruments to those that a scheme sets out to invest in. So, for instance, an equity fund may be benchmarked against the BSE 100 if its objective is to invest in a portfolio of stocks that are similar to those comprised in the index, in terms of diversity, market capitalization, etc. Similarly, a sector specific fund may choose to compare its performance...

Benchmarking futurehosting Virtual Private Server (VPS)
2007-06-13 05:44:00 A few days ago there was an important soccer game, atleast for Romanians. The game wasn?t featured on TV, no television network had the right to broadcast it, legal issues, bla bla bla.The game was on live radio though but the sites broadcasting the sound stream had a hard time copping with the high demand ?so I decided to keep a shoutcast mirror on my $10 futurehosting VPS.I remembered that the TCP limit on the VPS was 250 so I set the shoutcast max listeners to 225. I reached the max listeners very quick and held it for the entire 90+ minutes at 32kbps.
