Update: stress-0.18.8-1.4.el7

Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:22:54 +0000

Package: stress
Summary: tool to impose stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system

Description:
Stress is a tool which imposes a configurable amount of CPU, memory, I/O, or disk stress on a POSIX-compliant operating system. Stress is written in highly-portable ANSI C, and uses the GNU Autotools to compile on a great number of UNIX-like operating systems. Stress is not a benchmark, it is rather a tool which puts the system under a repeatable, defined amount of load so that a systems programmer or system administrator can analyze the performance characteristics of the system or specific components thereof.

Changes:

Update: dt-15.14-2.el7

Thu, 10 Jul 2014 19:22:13 +0000

Package: dt
Summary: Generic data test program

Description:
'dt' is a generic data test program used to verify proper operation of peripherals and for obtaining performance information. Since verification of data is performed, 'dt' can be thought of as a generic diagnostic tool. 'dt' command lines are similar to the 'dd' program, which is popular on most UNIX systems. It contains numerous options to give the user complete control of the test parameters. 'dt' has been used to successfully test disks, tapes, serial lines, parallel lines, pipes, and memory mapped files. In fact, 'dt' can be used for any device which allows the standard open, read, write, & close system calls. Special support is necessary for some devices, such as serial lines, for setting up the speed, parity, data bits, etc. Avaliable documentation is located in /usr/doc/dt-15.14. Sample scripts and config data are installed in /usr/share/dt.

Changes:

dt-15.14-2.el7.x86_64 [488 KiB]

Changelog by Will Woods (2005-12-12):

- dt-15.14-HZ-not-constant.patch - HZ is not a constant, so 'clock_t hz = HZ'
  causes compile failure on ia64. This patch fixes that.
