Hi all,
I am working with a couple researchers at North Carolina State University
looking at the TLB behavior. Past studies in this area have used statically
linked programs like SPEC CPU to provide workload for the simulator. This is
very different than the typical shared-library, GUI application available on the
desktop. We would like to have a sampling of workload programs that are more
like the typical programs that people use on desktop machines. The
characteristics we are looking for in the examples are:
-represent commonly-performed tasks, e.g. edit file and view document
-depend on a number of dynamically-linked libraries
-use GUI
-have built-in accessibility features needed to automate the
experiment with dogtail
-run for a couple seconds, so instrumented version doesn't take too long
-doesn't require network access
Currently, we have some example workloads using gthumb, evince, and abiword.
They are driven by dogtail. We are looking for some additional examples to round
out the experiments. Some GUI tests might be suitable for this, but would like
to have examples that are more like normal person might use the software rather
than a minimal test cases.
-Will
