5. Software Build (SWBUILD)
The software build type workload is a classic meta-data intensive build workload. This workload was derived from analysis of software builds, and traces collected on systems in the software build arena. Conceptually, these tests are similar to running unix ‘make’ against several tens of thousands of files. The file attributes are checked (metadata operations) and if necessary, the file is read, compiled, then data is written back out to storage.

Configuration File
The following file fragment shows the prime parameters used to define a SWBUILD test (BENCHMARK). This test has an initial load of 10 builds, with increments of 5, and runs 5 times (10,15,20,25 & 30).
