I'm developing and maintaining web based gui for fio (w3top). And I
can't confirm your concern.
On x64 linux, 380Mb of RAM is enough for both w3top systemd service and
fio executable.
On ARM32 the w3top+fio pair needs about 300M of ram.
What engines do you use? I'm about libaio, posixaio, io_uring, sync***
and mmap v2.21 ... v3.28 on headless linux

Hello
We use FIO to check the eMMC storage on our embedded boards. This works
great for our modules that have >= 1GB RAM but on all lower-memory ones
(<= 512MB) the OOM killer always kills FIO.
I can hook up a swap which helps but is just painfully slow.
I played with the settings mem, bs, iodepth and size but cannot achieve
a configuration that works on low-memory embedded systems.
Can anyone guide me how I can make this work?
Best Regards,
Philippe
