Title
IOAgent: a parallel I/O workload generator
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we present IOAgent, a tool that allows to generate synthetic workloads for parallel environments in a simple way. IOAgent has been implemented for Linux and takes into account different I/O characteristics like synchronous and asynchronous calls, buffered and unbuffered accesses, as well as different numbers of disks, intermediate buffers and number of agents simulating the workload. Second, we propose statistical models that help us to analyze the I/O behaviour of an IBM e-server OpenPower 710, with 4 SCSI drives. The observations used to build the model have been obtained using IOAgent.
