How many transactions do I need to generate for a Callingcirle benchmark run?
It depends. The more powerful the machine/cluster the faster the transactions will be processed. A thousand transactions lasts only three minutes on a Xeon processor. Therefore to generate a 30 minute load you’d need at least 10,000 transactions and probably 40,000 transactions for a 4 CPU machine. Update : I’ve been informed of an issue where its not possible to hold all of the transactions in memory for a long sustained run on a powerful machine. Im working on a solution to enable a disk based loading mechanism.
