Concurrency Lab
Maximising workload throughput
This is a lab environment to simulate processing workloads. This is a handy tool for testing out strategies to compare throughput and thread utilisation. There are two output modes; you can view the results as a chart on screen, or you can have the chart write to a file as a PNG image.
Running
The following runtime arguments are possible.
--output=STRING
Specifying "save" will save the chart to "./output/". The default is to display the chart on screen.
Default is to display on screen.
--strategy=STRING
This is the processing strategy to test. The value must be one of [sequential/parallel/blocking_queue].
Of course, if you create new processor strategies, then you would use this argument to select it to run.
Default is "blocking_queue".
--jobs=INTEGER
The total size of the workload in terms of number of jobs.
Default is 70.
--effort=INTEGER
The maximal of the jitter in milliseconds representing the simulated workload time for a single job.
Default is 500.
