5 @page Collocation Performance Test README File
7 This test estimates the minimum latency for a twoway
8 request when both client and server are collocated. The test uses a single
9 threaded client and server, and configures the ORB to eliminate common sources
10 of overhead, such as locking. Further, this test uses the default collocation
11 strategy in TAO, i.e. "thru_poa".
13 Please do not extend this test to deal with other data types,
14 configurations, etc. If you need to just create a new test. In the
15 past we had multi-purpose tests like that, they were hard to maintain,
16 and the results were hard to interpret. Furthermore, the test is
17 purposely simple so its output can be parsed via nightly scripts and
18 plotted in a graph. More importantly, the overhead of marshaling is
19 better measures using an isolated test, that does not involve the
22 To run the test use the run_test.pl script:
26 the script returns 0 if the test was successful, and prints
27 out the performance numbers.
