Synchronous Test

After installing the KAELz4 library, perform operations described in this section to test its synchronous functions and performance using test scripts of the open source compression algorithm in /KAE/KAELz4/open_source/lz4-1.9.4/test.

  1. Install KAELz4.
  2. Test the functions of the LZ4 compression library.

3
    cd /KAE/KAELz4/open_source/lz4-1.9.4/tests
make
./fullbench datagen
  3. Test the performance.
    1. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and enable the LZ4 library.
      1
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/kaelz4/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    2. Compile the performance test tool in the /KAE/KAELz4/test/perftest directory.
      1
2
      cd KAE/KAELz4/test/perftest
sh lzbench_test.sh

      Two subdirectories are generated in the current directory: lzbench-master-raw and lzbench-master.

    3. Go to the lzbench-master-raw directory and run the lzbench executable file to test the baseline performance.

      cd lzbench-master-raw
numactl -C 1 ./lzbench -relz4 -b128 -i1 -j -m1024 ../../../../scripts/compressTestDataset/

    4. Go to the lzbench-master directory and run the lzbench executable file to test the performance of the KAELz4 library.

  4. Test the bandwidth.
    1. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and enable the LZ4 library.
      1
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/kaelz4/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    2. Compile the bandwidth test tool in the /KAE/KAELz4/test/perftest directory.
      1
2
      cd KAE/KAELz4/test/perftest
make
    3. Test the compression bandwidth of the LZ4 library.

      ./kaelz4_perf -m 80 -b 32 -l 640000
      Command output:
