7 This test tries to estimate the minimum latency for a twoway
8 request. The test uses a single threaded client and server, and
9 configures the ORB to eliminate common sources of overhead, such as
12 Please do not extend this test to deal with other data types,
13 configurations, etc. If you need to just create a new test. In the
14 past we had multi-purpose tests like that, they were hard to maintain,
15 and the results were hard to interpret. Furthermore, the test is
16 purposely simple so its output can be parsed via nightly scripts and
17 plotted in a graph. More importantly, the overhead of marshaling is
18 better measures using an isolated test, that does not involve the
21 To run the test use the run_test.pl script:
25 the script returns 0 if the test was successful, and prints
26 out the performance numbers.
