29 /* The program tries to be as small and as fast as possible. Wherever
30 * possible, we avoid allocating memory on the heap. We do not pass data
31 * between threads. We do only a minimal amount of calculation. In
32 * particular, we only output raw timing data for the run; we do not
33 * collate it, average it, or do anything else with it. See below.
34 * The program does, however, use the same CtdlIPC functions as the
35 * standard Citadel text client, and incurs the same overhead as that
36 * program, using those functions.
38 * The program first creates a new user with a randomized username which
39 * begins with "testuser". It then creates 100 rooms named test0 through
40 * test99. If they already exist, this condition is ignored.
42 * The program then creates n threads, all of which wait on a conditional
43 * before they do anything. Once all of the threads have been created,
44 * they are signaled, and begin execution. Each thread logs in to the
45 * Citadel server separately, simulating a user login, then takes a
46 * timestamp from the operating system.
48 * Each thread selects a room from 0-99 randomly, then writes a small
49 * (1KB) test message to that room. 1K was chosen because it seems to
50 * represent an average message size for messages we expect to see.
51 * After writing the message, the thread sleeps for w seconds (sleep(w);)
52 * and repeats the process, until it has written 1,000 messages. The
53 * program provides a status display to standard error, unless w <= 2, in
54 * which case status display is disabled.
56 * After posting all messages, each thread takes a second timestamp, and
57 * subtracts the first timestamp. The resulting value (in seconds) is
58 * sent to standard output. The thread then exits.
60 * Once all threads have exited, the program exits.
