SYNOPSIS

tablix2_benchmark benchmark [ options ] " Tablix options " file

DESCRIPTION

tablix2_benchmark is used to test the effect of different Tablix  command  line  options  on  the
names in the current directory and are deleted after tablix2_benchmark exits.
cases  go into an endless loop, it is always advisable to limit Tablix execution time with the -t
tablix2_benchmark  will  detect  when  the  time  limit  set  by  the -t option was reached. This

OPTIONS

tablix2_benchmark --single "OPTIONS" file

 Execute a single Tablix run using and print the results.  OPTIONS  parameter  is  mandatory  and
 contains options that will be passed to the tablix2 process.

tablix2_benchmark --multiple N "OPTIONS" FILE

 Execute  N  Tablix  runs  and print the statistics.  OPTIONS parameter is mandatory and contains
 options that will be passed to the tablix2 process.

tablix2_benchmark --graph START STEP STOP "OPTIONS" FILE

 Execute multiple Tablix runs. The character " N " in OPTIONS is substituted for an integer  that
 is changed from START to STOP by STEP . Output is gnuplot friendly.

tablix2_benchmark --multi-graph M START STEP STOP "OPTIONS" FILE

 Execute  multiple Tablix runs. The character " N " in OPTIONS is substituted for an integer that
 is changed from START to STOP by STEP .  M Tablix runs are executed for each value of N . Output
 is gnuplot friendly (use errorbars).

EXAMPLES

     tablix2_benchmark --multiple 5 "-t 90 -n 5" sample.xml
limit.

tablix2_benchmark  can  also  provide  useful  data for developers. Following test can be used to
result:

     tablix2_benchmark --multi-graph 5 1 1 10 "-t 90 -n N" sample.xml > stats.txt
redirected  to  stats.txt  . A graph of average computing time versus number of nodes can then be
produced in gnuplot with the following command:

     plot "test.txt" using ($1):($8):($9):($10) with yerrorbars

BUGS

tablix2_benchmark utility depends on a number of common UNIX programs (mktemp,  grep,  sed,  awk,
...)  that  may  not be available on all systems. The script is not currently capable of properly
