Cloud Performance Labs ---------------------- This is a set of labs, each of which simulate a performance issue for the student to debug. They are based on the book Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud, ISBN-10: 0133390098, http://www.brendangregg.com/sysperfbook.html. In the top level directory are the lab tickets (*.txt): text files that simulate a customer ticket. Some of these labs have binaries to execute for analysis, which have been compiled for SmartOS. The numbering for these is labCCXX.txt, where CC = chapter number, and XX = lab number. The source code for the labs is under lab_src. If you are running these to practice performance analysis, try not to read the source (the answers) until you are confident you've finished analysis. The labs themselves are intended to exhibit a single performance issue (or not) in an infinite loop: so you can run them and leave them running while you perform analysis, then kill the process once you're done. These labs have been used during Joyent's Cloud Performance class, run by Brendan Gregg: http://www.joyent.com/developers/training-services/cloud-performance Two example solutions are provided: solution*.txt.
