簡介：

Iometer是一個免費的開源的測試磁片性能的工具。和其他磁片工具相比，可以測試I/O的傳輸率和平均的I/O回應時間。其第一個版本10年前就已經出來了，當時是用於Windows NT。但它現在仍是一款很有用的工具

是一款功能非常強大的IO測試軟體，它除了可以在本機運行測試本機的IO(磁片)性能之外，還提供了類比網路應用的能力。為了全面測試被測伺服器的IO性能，可以分別選擇不同類型的測試腳本。






Description：

As the Iometer User\'s Guide says, Iometer is an I/O subsystem measurement and characterization tool for single and clustered systems. It was originally developed by the Intel Corporation and announced at the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) on February 17, 1998 - since then it got wide spread within the industry.

Meanwhile Intel has discontinued to work on Iometer and it was given to the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL). In November 2001, a project was registered at SourceForge.net and an initial drop was provided. Since the relaunch in February 2003, the project is driven by an international group of individuals who are continuously improving, porting and extend the product.
