Dominic Giles Blog

Welcome to my Oracle blog. This isn't new to me, head over to www.dominicgiles.com/blog/blog.html to see some off my postings over the last few months. Much of the posts will relate to the work I carry out on the "swingbench" load generator.  Most entries will be duplicated in both. Let me know if theres something I can help you with..

My last post at dominicgiles.com was



Minor Swingbench update to 2.3, build 125


Hi just a minor patch update to fix a few minor updates. Yup I do make changes based on feedback. Thats assuming I have time... Things are slowing down just a little at work as people head off on holiday so Im hoping to get 2.3 finished soon.. just the UI changes now... I'll be at Oracle HQ in the US next week so Im not likely to be able to respond to much email. For any of my work colleagues that need to get in touch I'll be on the mobile...
Back to the minor fixes

• Sorted out the save, save buttons so they should work as expected.
  
• 
  
  
• Now a Transactions per second option for charbench(if this is useful I'll include it inside of swingbench and minibench)
  
• 
  
  
• Benchmark name now include on window title for swingbench
  
• 
  

It wont come as a surprise to people that know me I have a hard time focusing on work thats nearly done. And so finishing a release of swingbench is the hardest thing I have to do... Im always tempted to start thinking about the next relase in prefence to sorting out the final last issues and documenting all of the new features and functionality...

With this in mind Im interested to know what features people would like to see in the next release... Some ideas might be

• Load generated from trace files


• More benchmarks


• more sophisticated clusteroverview
