40 .SH DESCRIPTION
41 .sp
42 \fBmemaslap\fP is a load generation and benchmark tool for memcached
43 servers. It generates configurable workload such as threads, concurrencies,
44 connections, run time, overwrite, miss rate, key size, value size, get/set
45 proportion, expected throughput, and so on. Furthermore, it also testss data
46 verification, expire\-time verification, UDP, binary protocol, facebook test,
47 replication test, multi\-get and reconnection, etc.
48 .sp
49 Memaslap manages network connections like memcached with
50 libevent. Each thread of memaslap is bound with a CPU core, all
51 the threads don\(aqt communicate with each other, and there are several socket
52 connections in each thread. Each connection keeps key size distribution,
53 value size distribution, and command distribution by itself.
54 .sp
55 You can specify servers via the \fI\-\-servers\fP option or via the
56 environment variable \fBMEMCACHED_SERVERS\fP.
57 .SH FEATURES

60 .sp
61 Manages network connections with libevent asynchronously.
62 .sp
63 Set both TCP and UDP up to use non\-blocking IO.
64 .sp
65 Improves parallelism: higher performance in multi\-threads environments.
66 .sp
67 Improves time efficiency: faster processing speed.
68 .sp
69 Generates key and value more efficiently; key size distribution and value size distribution are configurable.
70 .sp
71 Supports get, multi\-get, and set commands; command distribution is configurable.
72 .sp
73 Supports controllable miss rate and overwrite rate.
74 .sp
75 Supports data and expire\-time verification.
76 .sp
77 Supports dumping statistic information periodically.
78 .sp
79 Supports thousands of TCP connections.
80 .sp
81 Supports binary protocol.
82 .sp
83 Supports facebook test (set with TCP and multi\-get with UDP) and replication test.
84 .SH DETAILS
85 .SS Effective implementation of network.
86 .sp
87 For memaslap, both TCP and UDP use non\-blocking network IO. All
88 the network events are managed by libevent as memcached. The network module
89 of memaslap is similar to memcached. Libevent can ensure
90 memaslap can handle network very efficiently.
91 .SS Effective implementation of multi\-threads and concurrency
92 .sp
93 Memslap has the similar implementation of multi\-threads to
94 memcached. Memslap creates one or more self\-governed threads;
95 each thread is bound with one CPU core if the system testss setting CPU
96 core affinity.
97 .sp
98 In addition, each thread has a libevent to manage the events of the network;
99 each thread has one or more self\-governed concurrencies; and each
100 concurrency has one or more socket connections. All the concurrencies don’t
101 communicate with each other even though they are in the same thread.
102 .sp
103 Memslap can create thousands of socket connections, and each
104 concurrency has tens of socket connections. Each concurrency randomly or
105 sequentially selects one socket connection from its socket connection pool
106 to run, so memaslap can ensure each concurrency handles one
107 socket connection at any given time. Users can specify the number of
108 concurrency and socket connections of each concurrency according to their
109 expected workload.
110 .SS Effective implementation of generating key and value
111 .sp
112 In order to improve time efficiency and space efficiency,
113 memaslap creates a random characters table with 10M characters. All the
114 suffixes of keys and values are generated from this random characters table.
115 .sp
116 Memslap uses the offset in the character table and the length
117 of the string to identify a string. It can save much memory.
118 Each key contains two parts, a prefix and a suffix. The prefix is an
119 uint64_t, 8 bytes. In order to verify the data set before,
120 memaslap need to ensure each key is unique, so it uses the prefix to identify
121 a key. The prefix cannot include illegal characters, such as ‘r’, ‘n’,
122 ‘0’ and ‘ ‘. And memaslap has an algorithm to ensure that.
123 .sp
124 Memslap doesn’t generate all the objects (key\-value pairs) at
125 the beginning. It only generates enough objects to fill the task window
126 (default 10K objects) of each concurrency. Each object has the following
127 basic information, key prefix, key suffix offset in the character table, key
128 length, value offset in the character table, and value length.
129 .sp
130 In the work process, each concurrency sequentially or randomly selects an
131 object from the window to do set operation or get operation. At the same
132 time, each concurrency kicks objects out of its window and adds new object
133 into it.
134 .SS Simple but useful task scheduling
135 .sp
136 Memslap uses libevent to schedule all the concurrencies of
137 threads, and each concurrency schedules tasks based on the local task
138 window. Memslap assumes that if each concurrency keeps the same
139 key distribution, value distribution and commands distribution, from
140 outside, memaslap keeps all the distribution as a whole.
141 Each task window includes a lot of objects, each object stores its basic
142 information, such as key, value, expire time, and so on. At any time, all
143 the objects in the window keep the same and fixed key and value
144 distribution. If an object is overwritten, the value of the object will be
145 updated. Memslap verifies the data or expire\-time according to
146 the object information stored in the task window.
147 .sp
148 Libevent selects which concurrency to handle based on a specific network
149 event. Then the concurrency selects which command (get or set) to operate
150 based on the command distribution. If it needs to kick out an old object and
151 add a new object, in order to keep the same key and value distribution, the
152 new object must have the same key length and value length.
153 .sp
154 If memcached server has two cache layers (memory and SSD), running
155 memaslap with different window sizes can get different cache
156 miss rates. If memaslap adds enough objects into the windows at
157 the beginning, and the cache of memcached cannot store all the objects
158 initialized, then memaslap will get some objects from the second
159 cache layer. It causes the first cache layer to miss. So the user can
160 specify the window size to get the expected miss rate of the first cache
161 layer.
162 .SS Useful implementation of multi\-servers , UDP, TCP, multi\-get and binary protocol
163 .sp
164 Because each thread is self\-governed, memaslap can assign
165 different threads to handle different memcached servers. This is just one of
166 the ways in which memaslap tests multiple servers. The only
167 limitation is that the number of servers cannot be greater than the number
168 of threads. The other way to test multiple servers is for replication
169 test. Each concurrency has one socket connection to each memcached server.
170 For the implementation, memaslap can set some objects to one
171 memcached server, and get these objects from the other servers.
172 .sp
173 By default, Memslap does single get. If the user specifies
174 multi\-get option, memaslap will collect enough get commands and
175 pack and send the commands together.
176 .sp
177 Memslap testss both the ASCII protocol and binary protocol,
178 but it runs on the ASCII protocol by default.
179 Memslap by default runs on the TCP protocol, but it also
180 tests UDP. Because UDP is unreliable, dropped packages and out\-of\-order
181 packages may occur. Memslap creates a memory buffer to handle
182 these problems. Memslap tries to read all the response data of
183 one command from the server and reorders the response data. If some packages
184 get lost, the waiting timeout mechanism can ensure half\-baked packages will
185 be discarded and the next command will be sent.
186 .SH USAGE
187 .sp
188 Below are some usage samples:

203 .sp
204 The user must specify one server at least to run memaslap. The
205 rest of the parameters have default values, as shown below:
206 .sp
207 Thread number = 1 Concurrency = 16
208 .sp
209 Run time = 600 seconds Configuration file = NULL
210 .sp
211 Key size = 64 Value size = 1024
212 .sp
213 Get/set = 9:1 Window size = 10k
214 .sp
215 Execute number = 0 Single get = true
216 .sp
217 Multi\-get = false Number of sockets of each concurrency = 1
218 .sp
219 Reconnect = false Data verification = false
220 .sp
221 Expire\-time verification = false ASCII protocol = true
222 .sp
223 Binary protocol = false Dumping statistic information
224 .sp
225 periodically = false
226 .sp
227 Overwrite proportion = 0% UDP = false
228 .sp
229 TCP = true Limit throughput = false
230 .sp
231 Facebook test = false Replication test = false
232 .SS Key size, value size and command distribution.
233 .sp
234 All the distributions are read from the configuration file specified by user
235 with “—cfg_cmd” option. If the user does not specify a configuration file,
236 memaslap will run with the default distribution (key size = 64,
237 value size = 1024, get/set = 9:1). For information on how to edit the
238 configuration file, refer to the “Configuration File” section.
239 .sp
240 The minimum key size is 16 bytes; the maximum key size is 250 bytes. The
241 precision of proportion is 0.001. The proportion of distribution will be
242 rounded to 3 decimal places.
243 .sp
244 The minimum value size is 1 bytes; the maximum value size is 1M bytes. The
245 precision of proportion is 0.001. The proportion of distribution will be
246 rounded to 3 decimal places.
247 Currently, memaslap only testss set and get commands. And it
248 testss 100% set and 100% get. For 100% get, it will preset some objects to
249 the server.
250 .SS Multi\-thread and concurrency
251 .sp
252 The high performance of memaslap benefits from the special
253 schedule of thread and concurrency. It’s important to specify the proper
254 number of them. The default number of threads is 1; the default number of
255 concurrency is 16. The user can use “—threads” and “\-\-concurrency” to
256 specify these variables.
257 .sp
258 If the system tests setting CPU affinity and the number of threads
259 specified by the user is greater than 1, memaslap will try to
260 bind each thread to a different CPU core. So if you want to get the best
261 performance memaslap, it is better to specify the number of
262 thread equal to the number of CPU cores. The number of threads specified by
263 the user can also be less or greater than the number of CPU cores. Because
264 of the limitation of implementation, the number of concurrencies could be
265 the multiple of the number of threads.

296 .sp
297 The memaslap performs very well, when
298 used to test the performance of memcached servers.
299 Most of the time, the bottleneck is the network or
300 the server. If for some reason the user wants to
301 limit the performance of memaslap, there
302 are two ways to do this:
303 .sp
304 Decrease the number of threads and concurrencies.
305 Use the option “\-\-tps” that memaslap
306 provides to limit the throughput. This option allows
307 the user to get the expected throughput. For
308 example, assume that the maximum throughput is 50
309 kops/s for a specific configuration, you can specify
310 the throughput equal to or less than the maximum
311 throughput using “\-\-tps” option.
312 .SS Window size
313 .sp
314 Most of the time, the user does not need to specify the window size. The
315 default window size is 10k. For Schooner Memcached, the user can specify
316 different window sizes to get different cache miss rates based on the test
317 case. Memslap testss cache miss rate between 0% and 100%.
318 If you use this utility to test the performance of Schooner Memcached, you
319 can specify a proper window size to get the expected cache miss rate. The
320 formula for calculating window size is as follows:
321 .sp
322 Assume that the key size is 128 bytes, and the value size is 2048 bytes, and
323 concurrency=128.

360 The formula for calculating window size for cache miss rate 5%:
361 .sp
362 cache_size / concurrency / (key_size + value_size) * 0.7
363 .SS Verification
364 .sp
365 Memslap testss both data verification and expire\-time
366 verification. The user can use "\-\-verify=" or "\-v" to specify the proportion
367 of data verification. In theory, it testss 100% data verification. The
368 user can use "\-\-exp_verify=" or "\-e" to specify the proportion of
369 expire\-time verification. In theory, it testss 100% expire\-time
370 verification. Specify the "\-\-verbose" options to get more detailed error
371 information.
372 .sp
373 For example: \-\-exp_verify=0.01 –verify=0.1 , it means that 1% of the objects
374 set with expire\-time, 10% of the objects gotten will be verified. If the
375 objects are gotten, memaslap will verify the expire\-time and
376 value.
377 .SS multi\-servers and multi\-config
378 .sp
379 Memslap testss multi\-servers based on self\-governed thread.
380 There is a limitation that the number of servers cannot be greater than the
381 number of threads. Memslap assigns one thread to handle one
382 server at least. The user can use the "\-\-servers=" or "\-s" option to specify
383 multi\-servers.
384 .sp
385 For example:
386 .sp
387 \-\-servers=10.1.1.1:11211,10.1.1.2:11212,10.1.1.3:11213 \-\-threads=6 \-\-concurrency=36
388 .sp
389 The above command means that there are 6 threads, with each thread having 6
390 concurrencies and that threads 0 and 3 handle server 0 (10.1.1.1); threads 1
391 and 4 handle server 1 (10.1.1.2); and thread 2 and 5 handle server 2
392 (10.1.1.3).
393 .sp
394 All the threads and concurrencies in memaslap are self\-governed.
395 .sp
396 So is memaslap. The user can start up several
397 memaslap instances. The user can run memaslap on different client
398 machines to communicate with the same memcached server at the same. It is
399 recommended that the user start different memaslap on different
400 machines using the same configuration.
401 .SS Run with execute number mode or time mode
402 .sp
403 The default memaslap runs with time mode. The default run time
404 is 10 minutes. If it times out, memaslap will exit. Do not
405 specify both execute number mode and time mode at the same time; just
406 specify one instead.
407 .sp
408 For example:
409 .sp
410 \-\-time=30s (It means the test will run 30 seconds.)
411 .sp
412 \-\-execute_number=100000 (It means that after running 100000 commands, the test will exit.)
413 .SS Dump statistic information periodically.
414 .sp
415 The user can use "\-\-stat_freq=" or "\-S" to specify the frequency.
416 .sp
417 For example:
418 .sp
419 \-\-stat_freq=20s
420 .sp
421 Memslap will dump the statistics of the commands (get and set) at the frequency of every 20
422 seconds.
423 .sp
424 For more information on the format of dumping statistic information, refer to “Format of Output” section.
425 .SS Multi\-get
426 .sp
427 The user can use "\-\-division=" or "\-d" to specify multi\-get keys count.
428 Memslap by default does single get with TCP. Memslap also testss data
429 verification and expire\-time verification for multi\-get.
430 .sp
431 Memslap testss multi\-get with both TCP and UDP. Because of
432 the different implementation of the ASCII protocol and binary protocol,
433 there are some differences between the two. For the ASCII protocol,
434 memaslap sends one “multi\-get” to the server once. For the
435 binary protocol, memaslap sends several single get commands
436 together as “multi\-get” to the server.
437 .SS UDP and TCP
438 .sp
439 Memslap testss both UDP and TCP. For TCP,
440 memaslap does not reconnect the memcached server if socket connections are
441 lost. If all the socket connections are lost or memcached server crashes,
442 memaslap will exit. If the user specifies the “\-\-reconnect”
443 option when socket connections are lost, it will reconnect them.
444 .sp
445 User can use “\-\-udp” to enable the UDP feature, but UDP comes with some
446 limitations:
447 .sp
448 UDP cannot set data more than 1400 bytes.
449 .sp
450 UDP is not testsed by the binary protocol because the binary protocol of
451 memcached does not tests that.
452 .sp
453 UDP doesn’t tests reconnection.
454 .SS Facebook test
455 .sp
456 Set data with TCP and multi\-get with UDP. Specify the following options:
457 .sp
458 "\-\-facebook \-\-division=50"
459 .sp
460 If you want to create thousands of TCP connections, specify the
461 .sp
462 "\-\-conn_sock=" option.
463 .sp
464 For example: \-\-facebook \-\-division=50 \-\-conn_sock=200
465 .sp
466 The above command means that memaslap will do facebook test,
467 each concurrency has 200 socket TCP connections and one UDP socket.
468 .sp
469 Memslap sets objects with the TCP socket, and multi\-gets 50
470 objects once with the UDP socket.
471 .sp
472 If you specify "\-\-division=50", the key size must be less that 25 bytes
473 because the UDP packet size is 1400 bytes.
474 .SS Replication test
475 .sp
476 For replication test, the user must specify at least two memcached servers.
477 The user can use “—rep_write=” option to enable feature.
478 .sp
479 For example:
480 .sp
481 \-\-servers=10.1.1.1:11211,10.1.1.2:11212 –rep_write=2
482 .sp
483 The above command means that there are 2 replication memcached servers,
484 memaslap will set objects to both server 0 and server 1, get
485 objects which are set to server 0 before from server 1, and also get objects
486 which are set to server 1 before from server 0. If server 0 crashes,
487 memaslap will only get objects from server 1. If server 0 comes
488 back to life again, memaslap will reconnect server 0. If both
489 server 0 and server 1 crash, memaslap will exit.
490 .SS Supports thousands of TCP connections
491 .sp
492 Start memaslap with "\-\-conn_sock=" or "\-n" to enable this
493 feature. Make sure that your system can tests opening thousands of files
494 and creating thousands of sockets. However, this feature does not tests
495 reconnection if sockets disconnect.
496 .sp
497 For example:
498 .sp
499 \-\-threads=8 \-\-concurrency=128 \-\-conn_sock=128
500 .sp
501 The above command means that memaslap starts up 8 threads, each
502 thread has 16 concurrencies, each concurrency has 128 TCP socket
503 connections, and the total number of TCP socket connections is 128 * 128 =
504 16384.
505 .SS Supports binary protocol
506 .sp
507 Start memaslap with "\-\-binary" or "\-B" options to enable this
508 feature. It testss all the above features except UDP, because the latest
509 memcached 1.3.3 does not implement binary UDP protocol.
510 .sp
511 For example:
512 .sp
513 \-\-binary
514 .sp
515 Since memcached 1.3.3 doesn\(aqt implement binary UDP protocol,
516 memaslap does not tests UDP. In addition, memcached 1.3.3 does not tests
517 multi\-get. If you specify "\-\-division=50" option, it just sends 50 get
518 commands together as “mulit\-get” to the server.
