How To Install resctl-bench on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install resctl-bench on Fedora 36.
What is resctl-bench
resctl-bench is a collection of whole-system benchmarks to evaluate resource control and hardware behaviors using realistic simulated workloads. Comprehensive resource control involves the whole system. Furthermore, testing resource control end-to-end requires scenarios involving realistic workloads and monitoring their interactions. The combination makes benchmarking resource control challenging and error-prone. It’s easy to slip up on a configuration and testing with real workloads can be tedious and unreliable. resctl-bench encapsulates the whole process so that resource control benchmarks can be performed easily and reliably. It verifies and updates system configurations, reproduces resource contention scenarios with a realistic latency-sensitive workload simulator and other secondary workloads, analyzes the resulting system and workload behaviors, and generates easily understandable reports.
We can use yum or dnf to install resctl-bench on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install resctl-bench.
