What is a Linux-like kernel?
The term Linux-like has also been applied to the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset, which does not include the full mainline Linux kernel but a small modified subset of the code. There are certain communities that develop kernels based on the official Linux.
What are the different Linux kernel versions?
In November 2019 there were five longterm Linux kernels: 4.19.84, 4.14.154, 4.9.201, 4.4.201 and 3.16.76. The full list of releases is at Linux kernel version history. Relation with Linux distributions. Most Linux users run a kernel supplied by their Linux distribution. Some distributions ship the “vanilla” or “stable” kernels.
Who maintains the Linux kernel version?
The latest kernel version and older kernel versions are maintained separately. Most latest kernel releases were supervised by Linus Torvalds. Current versions are released by Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Is the Linux kernel stable?
However, the interface between the kernel and loadable kernel modules (LKMs), unlike in many other kernels and operating systems, is not meant to be very stable by design. The Linux kernel, developed by contributors worldwide, is a prominent example of free and open source software.
Where is the swingbench config file?
Swingbench also includes a config (shconfig under the $SWINGHOME/bin/sample directory) with and a number of queries to stress the resultant schema. I’ll be producing a web page shortly to describe its setup and configuration. Let me know if its of any use via the comments page.
How many users/threads do I need for swingbench?
It is usually the case that you will need as least 2-4 users/threads per CPU. Swingbench, minibench and charbench are simply frontends on the swingbench kernel. Swinbench is a rich fully functional frontend that includes several real time charts and as a result has a significant cpu cost associated with it.
Is there a way to automate swingbench development?
Developing swingbench is not my full time (or even part time) job. It is done to support projects inside of Oracle. The easiest way to automate several runs of swingbench is by using charbench and command line options. This enables the scripting of several runs that can be run “lights out”.
