Abstract

According to one embodiment, a benchmarking system comprises a processor and a multi-threaded load generator. The multi-threaded load generator uses events for managing processing by the threads. The load generator utilizes a thread for spinning and using a CPU cycle counter to determine time for issuing loads to a system under test in accordance with a defined workload.
