Description
This test will measure the same data as personal test (time your CPU spent in different C states and frequencies) but when your computer is idle and tuned daemon is enabled.
Privileges: superuser
Runlevel: single
ETA: 7 minutes
How to test
- Switch into single mode. There are two possibilities:
- Run:
su -c "init 1"
- Or reboot your machine and change kernel parameters:
- Reboot and when GRUB menu appears select your system and press [E] to edit it.
- Select line starting with
kernel
and press [E]. - Add parameter
single
at the end of this line and pres [Enter] to confirm. - Press [B] to boot.
- Run:
- Start 'tuned':
service tuned start
- Start networking:
ifconfig eth0 up
- Run the test:
testday-run-tuned
- Read the instructions provided and start the test by pressing any key.
After the test you can switch to X11 either by rebooting (reboot
) or changing runlevel to 5 (init 5
).
Expected Results
The results will be stored in /usr/share/testday-091022/results
directory with timestamp. Do not modify anything in this directory.
